My one-year anniversary

It's now one year since I innocently downloaded an app called Restaurant Story. Little did I know the obsession I was unleashing.

So having unlocked every item in the game, saved and spent many millions of coins, fallen into multiple gem traps and reached level 99 at last, whatever do I aim for now?

Well, I'm still working on expansions. Currently my restaurant is 20x23 with three more expansions to go. So this is something I'll continue to focus on in the coming months, with the huge figures required to make final couple of expansions set to make this a long haul.

Expansion to 21x24

My next expansion is to 21x24, and I am getting close to reaching the 7,500,000 coins needed for it. So some rejigging will be necessary for that.

Then there's mastering recipes. I'm moving towards mastery at the third level across the basic appliances while some slots have been homing in on fourth level mastery for specialist appliances. There's a long way to go as far as the basic cookers are concerned, so I'll have to be patient, but just think of the windfall of gems when I do get there!

And the nature of the game helps to keep me interested too. With weekly updates, there's something new every week. Some updates are better than others, but as long as there continues to be an inviting update every now and again there will always be an incentive to return to the app.

Just look at this week's under the sea themed update complete with goals. Some really nice content which encourages players to keep checking in.

My first year of playing Restaurant Story has been very enjoyable indeed. Here's hoping that the second year is just as good. There's plenty to work on!
