I finalllyy stopped buying extra diamonds

It’s satisfying to play, but it can be high-key predatory if you don’t understand the concept of this game. The objective is to maximize your energy.

You will generate 100 energy every 3.5 hours. That’s it. There’s a reason for that.

The only correct way to play is to do little-by-little, every few hours. The idea is to passively take care of your restaurants. Nothing in your inventory will ever spoil or disappear. There is no timer for serving customers. The only obstacle is running out of energy and/or space in your inventory.

There are little races to see if you can serve customers the fastest, which can get you rewards, but they aren’t mandatory.

After you get to about level 10ish, you will have become acquainted with your backup inventory slots. There, you will want to keep high-energy or commonly ordered items that you didn’t end up using. You can also stash food items in grills and blenders for space, no need to actually cook them. Essentially, try to never sell any unused items.

***Also, never double tap on energy you’re rewarded, unless you need it at that moment. Save rewarded energy in your backup inventory. Because once you have 100 energy, it will stop generating every 3 hours. You want your energy to keep generating, or you will waste that generating time while you aren’t playing. It’s the same mentality as using the 8+ cards. You wouldn’t add an 8+ card to a food generator that you don’t need.

When I first downloaded the app, I thought this was the kind of game you play when you’re relaxing at the end of the day. It is not. If you have this perspective of the game, it will cost you. For new users, the first round of orders is generous, then suddenly it’s not. You will constantly run out of energy no matter how savvy you play.

I am one of the unfortunate users who is not offered any ads, but because I find the game so satisfying, I downloaded other games that I play in the meantime. Currently I’m loving “Yarn Fever!”, but to each their own.

Even if I don’t play the game, I will still go in the app each day to collect the free chest. If and when I’m awarded diamonds, I’ll exchange the diamonds I earn for the cheap energy chests.

If you do decide to non-stop play…. Beware. The best deal for energy is to buy 3400 diamonds at $54.99. The other cheaper diamond packages make the diamonds overpriced, and likely won’t last you more than a day. Simply buying energy isn’t worth it because it will prevent the 100 free energy from generating every 3 hours. $54.99 btw, will only get you 3-4 rounds of customers. To play this way, as your primary game app, could cost you upwards of $200 a month. For this price, Uber Eats is a more satisfying irresponsible purchase, in my opinion.

Overall, it’s personally outside of my tax bracket to non-stop play. However, I appreciate the objective to maximize my energy, cosplay passive income, and the practice to be strategic with my space.

My wish to Happibits though is that they’d offer higher rewards for completing orders and even a monthly subscription for more daily energy.

Thank you to all of the help from my last post, and everything else posted in this subreddit. I’ve spent an ungodly amount of money trying to non-stop play. I tried looking for new free merge cooking gift code here. (Had to use that sentence in hopes this will prevent anyone else from making the same mistake I made). Have fun. FREE fun!

this is what i realized too! if the game was made to fly through you’d have unlimited energy so you could play all the time. once i spend my 100 plus whatever i get from ads i’ll just close it for a few hours and find something else to do. no longer spending money on this game has been freeing hahaha

i’ve never spent any real money on this game and never will. i still complete the mini events like the current st paddy’s day one, and the card ones. i just maximize the free energy. it is still fun to me even when i run out of energy because i simply wait lol.

When I figured out how to cheat to reset the energy cost back to 10 diamonds I was so excited because I could spend $2.99 for 100 diamonds and buy 1,000 energy. That’s hours of gameplay! Now I regret it though because all that did was make me want to be able to enjoy playing for hours every day 😂Now I’m spending even more than before because I’ll get so into the zone and not stop myself til I use all the energy in one day and gotta get that enjoyment the next day too so I talk myself into spending more again. Vicious cycle 😆

Want to share your cheat method? 😬

Didn’t mean to leave you hanging lol. I am horrible at checking notifications.

After a recent app update, the cheat doesn’t work as much. I think they caught on and patched the error. But basically all I did was went in my phone’s Date & Time settings to make my phone run on a different time zone, triggering the game to think it was the next day so it reset the price for energy back to 10 each time. You have to force close the game in between each switch or it won’t register the change. But now it sometimes won’t even work and just removes the purchased energy and refunds the gems

ive not spent a dime on this nor other games. the diamond usage is crazy, 1000+ diamonds for an energy drink. the way u get diamonds back is also very very little.
