Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Daily Rewards reported on Jan 12, 2023
You don't lose progress on daily rewards if you missed a day. You just get a bonus each day you open the game.
Advertisements reported on Jan 12, 2023
Lots of watch an ad to skip a wait or earn a tiny amount coins. There's also a character that walks across a portion of the screen where you frequently click that offers you an optional ad. May be easy to click accidentally.
Premium Currency reported on Jan 12, 2023
You do earn coins in game but the amount you earn is so small compared to what you need to spend to progress that you either have to save up for a very long time, watch ads or complete ad offers to get more coins, or buy coins in the shop with real money. You can also spend coins on a lot of aesthetic changes but you would have to buy coins because the cost is so high that it would take forever to save up.
Wait To Play reported on Jan 12, 2023
You only get to do a small amount of orders before you run out of customers and your bunny has to nap (for 15-20 minutes). This nap can be skipped if you watch an ad or pay with coins. You can only watch an ad once daily to skip a nap, after that you have to pay coins to skip the next nap.
Pay to Skip reported on Jan 12, 2023
If you have enough coins, you can pay to skip your bunny's nap between groups of customers, otherwise you have to wait for a timer.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Jan 12, 2023
You can spend coins on a new hat, mat, outfit, etc for your bunny but you can't see what you'll get or what the options are. You might get something you don't like and want to try again since you can't see the options but there might be something better in there.

Screenshot Welcome to BunnyBuns! A magical pastry shop where I use my MYSTICAL BUNNY BAKING POWERS to mix feelings with fillings to create the most delicious pastries EVER!!!

Sure your standard HAPPY, strawberry cake always sounds appealing at first... but sometimes it's humpday (...hey Mike, am I right?!) and a sad, BLUEBERRY pastry is what really hits the spot. Tears with tart... YUMMM!!!

We've got the most interesting clients! I WONDER where they all come from?! I would ask but I'm just a shy little bunny. One of them appears to be on FIRE! (o.o)

Sometimes, if I give my clients EXACTLY what they want, they get REALLY happy and leave me FUN surprises!

I'm still learning EVERY day and I hope to unlock ALL the recipes so I can keep growing my special little bakery.

I HOPE you can help me. I would be FOREVER grateful. I may even let you sample some of my most EXQUISITE desserts!

BUN APPETIT!
