Diner Dash

The story follows a woman called Flo who wants to pursue her dream of opening a restaurant. This puzzle game consists of five levels and the goal is to make a certain amount of money at the end of each shift. During each shift, different types of customers ranging from business women, the ‘joggers’, a family of four To make the game harder, each type of customer is different colours. As the game progress, more colours are introduced making the game harder and more challenging. To get more bonus points, it helps to try and get the same colours sitting at the same tables.

When a shift has been completed successfully, you have the chance to revamp the furniture within the restaurant in order to attract more customers. Also added items including a desert cart, a drinks machine and a welcome desk, are given at different points of the levels, allowing you to give your diners a complete service.

I originally played this on the P.C many years ago and was only recently reminded of how good the game was when I played a similar version of this game on my niece’s laptop. After days of searching, I managed to track a pre-owned copy of the game and I haven’t put it down since!

My only grievance with this game is that I have found that when tapping the screen to move Flo to different tables and when arranging customers so I can try and match them up to the same colours, it seems to not recognise where I’ve tapped and make Flo to the next part of the screen or mess up my colour combo. This can be very frustrating and happens more then I care to remember but it doesn’t take away any of the fun from the game and how great it really is. I feel that this game is perfect for the DS, and for that it gets a U.F.G score of 4 out of 5!
