Terrible update =[

I want to preface this by saying prior to the last update, I would have rated this game a five.

I have played this game for probably a year now & have loved almost every update. I have noticed that each level has become increasingly harder to beat & that upgrading every food item to full capacity & fixing pretty much everything in the kitchen became necessity to get five stars. In addition the amount of gold needed to make these upgrades was becoming increasingly large. But unlike many reviewers I am patient. I rack up free gold wherever I can & I strategically make upgrades. And sometimes I wait several days of free gold in order to upgrade a single food item. If you want to be cheap there are ways to do it & Im not going to twist my panties in a bunch about it. When Im feeling extra impatient or I MUST unlock the newest episode immediately I spend the few bucks for the additional gold. This is how it works. They cant give you everything for free!

HOWEVER I do not like a game that goes backwards with an update. First off, the update is a joke. It says a new level is available but its the same concourse that came out a month & two updates ago. I had already beat pieces of ate before I even did this update. Why lie & say a new level is there when its not new at all? It looks fishy (no pun intended) on Glus part. The new daily goals are cool. Dont mind earning an extra three gold a day. However its not a fair trade off when many of my favorite prep recipes now take much longer to make. Why an extra 4-5 hours on the mad hatter recipe? Was the original 16 hour prep time just not enough? Its frustrating & its aggravating. Theres no reason for it. I earn an extra three gold just to waste them on making prep recipes faster? Its a rip off & not worth the extra gold. Im over it.

Ill still play but Ill be damned if I spend my money anymore. I didnt mind it when it was on my own terms & for what I wanted. But I dont like having to pay into the game when Im receiving less than what I started with. Its like if my gym membership went up an extra $20 but they took out half the machines but added an extra massage chair. It doesnt even itself out.
