This is a play cooking simulation for all platforms that includes something rare for a Toca Boca app... a confusing interface. But the idea is fun, and there are a lot of choices, so children will probably work at figuring out the controls. You’re the chef at a seaside sushi restaurant, helping to prepare sushi dishes by slicing squid, fish and asparagus, or silly things like candy canes. You can feed your ingredients to your customers raw, or us cooking tools to , to be rolled in a sheet of seaweed. Each dish is eaten by one of several customers who have different reactions to each dish. Ingredients include rice, tuna, avocado, asparagus, squid, salmon, and exotic (fictional) items like candy canes. There's also a vegan setting. Don't overlook the shape machine and the rolling mat options, as well as the cutting board where your fingertip becomes the knife. After you craft your Sushi, it is feed to a customer with a quick gulp, and very little understandable feedback. Our testers found the interface to be confusing, and wanted more feedback on their work. As is, the creation process seems random.
