Cooking Dash - Get Ready For Real Cooking

I'm not sure if this title needs any introduction at all. I mean, only casual games freshmen don't know the Dash game series and Flo. With regard to those, Cooking Dash developed by Aliasworlds Entertainment and published by PlayFirst, is a new sequel in the series of time-management games.

And for the time-management veterans - you are going to meet Flo and Grandma themselves in this release. It's not like Coco or Quinn weren't good, it's just that Flo is better...

Cookie is making his own reality show while Flo and Grandma feel in for him and later for other restaurants' chefs.

This time Cookie, Flo's great chef, was offered to star in his own reality cooking show on TV. But who's gonna take care of the diner?.. Yes, it's Flo and Grandma.

After every level you are given some comments on how Cookie's doing with his show. And he is doing only better and better. So soon (soon means 10 levels) Ahefs from other restaurants are invited to his show. And who's gonna take care of their restaurants and customers?..Yes, it's Flo and Grandma.

Every new restaurant means that you are going to start all over again. I mean you can't rely on the upgrades you used to increase customers' patience before just because you don't have them here. You need to earn them again.

A new reastaurant means a new cuisine, a new background, a new type of customers, which is always good.

This time you get a chance to really cook. Going from one restaurant to another makes it interesting to have new dishes every once in a while. One of the new twists in this release is that the place does look more like a diner because customers don't seat at the tables, but side-by-side at the counter.

The seats are colored and you get bonus points for matching the colors of the customers with those of the seats. But don't focus on that a lot because you may lose more on waiting for the seat of the required color to be vacant.

The bigger part of the screen takes up the kitchen area. Grandma stands in the middle ready to prepare different cold foods. Flo is rushing all over the place making all kinds of dishes - smoothies, fried eggs, french fries, pizzas etc.

The process of serving is nothing new. You seat a customer, wait for him or her to make an order, cook it, serve it, take the money and take away the dirty dishes.

There is a shop in the game where you can buy things to upgrade your restaurant. Some of the things don't improve your score or speed at all though like new doors or tiles. But there are those that add speed or add more equipment or increase customers' patience.

The game is very interesting with the old well-known characters and different cuisines, and challenging with the speed you have to rush around on.
