This was the first beach TM game I played and I haven't looked back since. It is absolutely brilliant and I still haven't actually completed all the levels in gold yet. I still have a few levels that I haven't been able to conquer yet.
The game itself had enough levels to keep me playing for a few hours the first time around the game and I still replay levels as I find the game play very fun.
I recommend this game!

This beach game is fun and actually quite challenging. The graphics are a bit too cartoon-like for my taste, but you really are too busy to pay attention. You can do some mischevious things without too much penalty, like serve nearly empty glasses to the grunpy guys on the beach...

This is a time management & strategy game. there is a certain element of quick clicking in it, but beating the level is more than just clicking things in in a fixed order like some TM games. You need to develop a logical strategy and time your clicks correctly.

This is a time management & strategy game. there is a certain element of quick clicking in it, but beating the level is more than just clicking things in in a fixed order like some TM games. You need to develop a logical strategy and time your clicks correctly.
You can take as long as you want per level, or try to beat the timer to get Gold or Silver time. It's up to you to decide which order to do tasks, and to try to "chain" related tasks efficiently. You also get to decide which upgrades to buy which you then get to use on the levels.
The story itself is pretty hokey, but the graphics are cute and there are mini games involved. Getting Gold Time is a challenge. If you are trying for gold, this game will entertain you for 15-20 hours which is pretty long. If you like this game, you will also like Huru Beach Party which is the same concept, just different characters. Show less

I love this game. Once you start playing you may not want to stop. Each level changes things up and I love the different challenges. I'm hoping some day there will be many more like this.

This is the best time management game on the site, without a doubt. The levels are very varied with a good range of challenges. Some are about selling a certain amount of a product, some are about making a certain amount of money, others are a combination.

This is the best time management game on the site, without a doubt. The levels are very varied with a good range of challenges. Some are about selling a certain amount of a product, some are about making a certain amount of money, others are a combination.
The level of challenge is excellent. Once you hit the early-middle levels you have to really start thinking and plan a strategy before you start. Sometimes it takes several tries and for you to realise small details, such as which character type will rent a lifesaver or a scuba diving set.
The graphics are nice, colourful and clean. I can't comment on the sound since I always play muted. The storyline is simple and doesn't get in the way of the game, which I like.
There could be a few minor improvements. You can hire staff to help but they won't multi-task and you can't assign them specific tasks, they will just pick up the first one they can when they're free. You don't have the opportunity to turn away guests which is useful when you want a particular type of guest on the beach.
This is one I've played again and again and I always enjoy it. Show less

The game play in Beach Party Craze is everything done right in a time management and strategy game.
The graphics are rather ugly and cartoonish BUT its very easy to see who needs what, where you need you to be and when each task is getting done. Sound effects are not only cute but useful indicators of when an item has arrived or is in use.
You can replay a level for silver/gold to get more stars

The game play in Beach Party Craze is everything done right in a time management and strategy game.
The graphics are rather ugly and cartoonish BUT its very easy to see who needs what, where you need you to be and when each task is getting done. Sound effects are not only cute but useful indicators of when an item has arrived or is in use.
You can replay a level for silver/gold to get more stars (money) for future upgrades. If you bomb a level you can still finish it as slow as necessary to at least grab those stars.
There is certainly strategy in this game. Frustratingly so until about 8 levels in when I understood how to best use upgrades and advertising. If your goal is to sell X burgers and X cocktails but first you have to purchase each shop to make these items (which is done while playing the round) then you will have to experiment to see which will earn the necessary amount of profit to build a second then third shop.
The type of products, services and shops required varies, which makes each level feel unique instead of one obvious step passed the previous level.
Still, it can get monotonous because the graphics aren't inspiring and there is little story. (Though I'd rather a game is short on story then long on a boring plot.) This is not a game where I'd park in front of my PC with relentless determination until I had beat it in a couple days. But whittling it away a few levels per day is extremely satisfy. You feel as if you EARNED that gold trophy.
That's always my hope going into a new game: that the time I invest playing it will be worth it.
In this case, as a strategy lover, yes!
