I love Time Management games, however, with the exception of the first couple of levels, it's impossible to achieve a perfect score! To achieve a perfect score of 3 gold stars, you need to be flawless, 2 silver stars are earned when you are too slow serving less than two customers, a bronze star means you served more than two customers too slow.

I love Time Management games, however, with the exception of the first couple of levels, it's impossible to achieve a perfect score! To achieve a perfect score of 3 gold stars, you need to be flawless, 2 silver stars are earned when you are too slow serving less than two customers, a bronze star means you served more than two customers too slow. Here's the problem: you click on the customers one at a time to see what fruits they want in their smoothie. You then choose those fruits by rotating through the fruit menu and clicking on the correct combination of fruits. Once you have chosen the fruits, the baristas automatically make the smoothie.....and it takes so long that you immediately lose a star on the customers patience meter! Even if I click wicked fast on the fruit selections, the barista's take too long! You also need to add appetizers to some orders, and then click on the customer to serve the order. When they are finished, you click on the money and click on the glass, and click on the dishwasher to clean the glass. There are bonus points and coins that swirl and fly around the room that can be earned by clicking on them when they appear. The money you earn can be used to purchase employees, and entertainers for the customers. From time to time, you will have special customers that must be served, such as celebrities, press, food inspectors, critics and even the mayor! This TM game offers 100 levels in 10 worlds, there are 40 characters and trophies or achievements to earn as well. I'm sure many gamers will go bonkers over this game, but for me, it's a no go for the impossibility factor. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I didn't like this game, I thought the visuals were horrible, the music very annoying and I didn't see the potential for fun playing it. You pick fruits from a wheel type thing to make smoothies, some people want appetizers with their smoothies so you pick up the smoothie after it is made then pick up the plate with the appetizer on it and deliver it to your customer. The graphics seem very old school, the music is just the same thing playing over and over. Not even work a "freebie" coupon for me. Show less

This is based on 30 minutes of a 60 minute demo.

You have the immediate option to play this game with a mouse or touchpad. You can also switch between either in the options menu if you prefer to later.

There are 10 levels in each area of the map, and an assortment of awards you can earn as well.

I was pretty bored after the first 30 minutes. You have a revolving wheel of fruit options to make smoothies for incoming customers. There's four smoothie makers behind the smoothie bar. Why four? No idea. Maybe later levels are more hectic and you need more hands to make smoothies?

There's a stationary hostess that basically does nothing. You can purchase two extra employees during each area of the map who will add to your tips. Nothing special.

There's some random flying fruits and swirly blue circles you can click on to add points or coins to your totals.

There's no rhyme or reason to this game. It just....is.

Boring for me. I flew through 10 levels in 30 minutes with three stars each.

Try it and form your own opinion. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I can't give it a one star because it actually does play without bugs or horrible spelling in the (thankfully short) storyline - but it certainly doesn't deserve the full 2 stars I gave it. This is a very crude, repetitive game. Crude in artwork, sound and gameplay alike.

I can't give it a one star because it actually does play without bugs or horrible spelling in the (thankfully short) storyline - but it certainly doesn't deserve the full 2 stars I gave it. This is a very crude, repetitive game. Crude in artwork, sound and gameplay alike. Click on people (apparently with low blood sugar shakes while they wait?) click on 2 fruits, wait for slow smoothie men to make the smoothies, deliver, repeat. Occasionally, there are bonuses to click on for points - because the developers must have known how boring it is to wait while the smoothie men are working? I played the 1 hour demo and was amazed that nothing changed from one level to the next! It was the same thing again and again. I feel like a bit of a sucker for playing out the demo, thinking it might get better or at least add a new element of play into the limited mix. Nope! Show less

I don't recommend this game.

This was a very simple game. Click two fruits, wait, serve and repeat. No variation. I only played the free hour but in that time nothing changed. No bonus's to increase speed or increase number of fruits in a drink or anything of interest really. periodically got x2, x3, x4, sometimes "streak" and even got a "super streak" but no idea why, couldn't find a pattern to it.

I don't recommend this game.

and not another horror fest.

This is a poor excuse for a time management game. It's clunky--by that I mean you click a lot, for very little in return.

You can't speed up the baristas--they operate extremely slowly. All you can do is spin the dial, select the fruit, and wait for them to deliver the product.

and not another horror fest.

This is a poor excuse for a time management game. It's clunky--by that I mean you click a lot, for very little in return.

You can't speed up the baristas--they operate extremely slowly. All you can do is spin the dial, select the fruit, and wait for them to deliver the product.

Unlike what one reviewer said, it's relatively easy to get 3 gold stars on every level. I'm on the third world, and have managed to get them every time. Sometimes I've had to replay a level, but it's do-able.

One disconcerting thing is that you have no way of knowing how much time is left on a level. But since you can't speed up the baristas, it really doesn't much matter.

There are little whirlpools that give you extra points, and flying gold coins that you can click to get extra money. (Which brings up the other disconcerting thing--there's no way to tell what the goal is, or how to achieve it. You just click the fruit, grab the drink and appetizer, and deliver it as fast as you can.#

And another annoyance--no matter how fast you are, by the time you deliver the product to the customer, they're already down to at least three stars #from five.#

The music is kind of interesting, and changes from venue to venue.

I used a credit on this thing, since there usually isn't anything of value on Big Fish to buy.

C'mon, Big Fish--use your clout to get us some good time management games! And maybe stop releasing a game a day--the quality might improve. #At least you had sense enough to work a deal with the companies behind the Delicious games.)

If you're desperate for a time management game, this might suit you. Just don't expect anything as elegant as any of the Delicious games. Or the Dash games. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

This game was terrible. It made no sense, felt like I couldn't progress, I played the game maybe 10 minutes and uninstalled it. I personally thought it was a silly game.

I don't recommend this game.

This game isn't fun at all! I played a few levels, 14 I think, and the game play didn't increase in difficulty or anything. What's the point of having four smoothie makers when you can only use one at a time?! To the makers: One customer at a time is both BORING and unchallenging.

I don't recommend this game.
