It would be nice if the game would automatically snap people into the appropriately coloured seat instead of making you waste time trying to shuffle them all around to get the maximum bonus. ![]() One of my biggest gripes is still how fiddly seating people is. It's also frustrating that any bonuses you buy for Flo, such as increasing her speed, vanish once you change locations. Some of the additional tasks, such as sending someone to repair a frequently leaking fire hydrant, for example, feel like pointless busy-work. The game does occasionally feel like it's forcing the "design your own diner" concept a bit when your sole interaction in some building sections is literally just to click "Build It!" when there are no choices to make at all.Īny real issues with the game are the same "problems" that have persisted from the series' earliest installments. The difficulty level is more like a difficulty wave, gently cresting and falling with each new area. By now, the series has figured out a near-perfect formula, and Diner Dash 5: BOOM is the perfect mix of fun and challenging. (I wonder why the city planning department doesn't return my calls?)Īnalysis: I admit, I was sort of hoping for a story about how the restaurant would explode if the number of customers served went under sixty, but I suppose BOOM's tale of a restaurant becoming so stuffed with eager patrons that it literally blows up is okay too. ![]() Which, if you're like me, will consist entirely of plastering down pink hearts at every opportunity. You'll also get to rebuild Flo's diner from the ground up, picking the styles you want for each section, and make improvements to the neighbourhood. Seating can sometimes get a bit cramped, which forces Flo to improvise unconventional dining tables which aren't always convenient. Weather is a factor, so you'll need to take the appropriate steps to shield your patrons whenever Mother Nature gets her undergarments in a bunch. This time, Flo has a bit more to contend with than low tippers. Not something you want to happen, since you have to reach a certain high score to proceed past each level and have more money to buy important upgrades. There are different customers to contend with, and some are more patient than others drag your feet too much, however, and you'll quickly start losing business. All this is done simply by clicking on the appropriate station on screen, and the tutorial does a good (if mildly patronising) job of walking you through the basics. Place their orders, deliver their food, and make sure to bring them their check and clear the table when they're done. ![]() Seat customers as they arrive by dragging them to a large enough seating area, putting their butts in matching coloured seats for extra points. probably.īy now, you're probably familiar with the frenetic, quick-click gameplay. It's just like that one summer I was a waitress in my mother's restaurant, only with less food on the customers!. With fifty levels, full of hypnotic clowns, angry businesswomen, hungry construction workers and more, Flo has her work cut out for her. ![]() An underhanded trick by a shadowy Person of Interest results in Flo's beloved diner literally exploding on the spot, and she needs to rebuild it if she wants to stay in business. She's run hotels and point-and-clicked her way to success, but Flo returns to her roots with Diner Dash 5: BOOM, the latest installment in the popular time management series.
