When I read the first review, I was concerned but I love Time Management Games so went ahead and gave it a go. I enjoyed it. I only played a few levels because it was late but I enjoyed the ones I played. Having said that, I usually skip through all the conversations and just play. So far, I enjoy it and will finish the trial and most likely purchase the game. It is no Emily or Flo but I enjoyed ...Show more

(3 on the storyline because I never read that stuff)

It's a good one and yes, it does move quickly but it's not un-manageable. Is it challenging? Sure is but you're able to prep grill items as well as the juice (drinks) so if you've got that set up, the levels should flow nicely.

I say similar to the Bob/Katy series because the set up is similar - grill, station where John makes his dishes, juice station and juice slushy station. You've got the level goals (serve 3 menus in a row, pay out 3 customers in a row, etc.)

Your little robot buddy is actually helpful - removing items you're cooking from the grill and picking up coins. I'm not sure what else it does, if anything.

If you're a TM affectionado and like the Bob/Katy and similar series, I think you'll like this. I'm not sure what the CE offers aside from a walkthru, wallpapers and music (I think). Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a classic Katy & Bob game. Even the music is the same, until I muted it ;)

There is a knack to getting Gold in this series. If you've played the aforementioned series, you can follow the same strategy.

There is a knack to getting Gold in this series. If you've played the aforementioned series, you can follow the same strategy.

I do agree with another reviewer that a couple of the colors of the sauces and smoothies are too close in tone for those with tired eyes (I am one of those). The other games had a nice contrast of yellow, red, purple, etc. vs yellow and light green - yikes

After playing the demo, I understood about the Robot being "in the way". This was not a good thing. I'm trying to serve the item but the robot gets there first and is holding the thing I need because the Tray Slots only offer 2 places and I've got them filled (hello? time management, therefore prepping what I can ahead of time and placing it in the slots). So not only is one racing the clock, but you're also fighting the Robot who's supposed to be helping. That didn't work out well

With all that said, I still would have used a coupon on it had it been a standard offering because I really enjoyed the Katy & Bob games. That is until I read the note about Level 21.
I imagine Developers will fix the glitch. I'll wait for the standard edition to see if they do, as along with others, I couldn't find anything that merited a Collector's Edition price tag.

With all that said, it really is rather fun (except for the bleeping Robot), just not perfect in execution.

Give it a try and see what you think. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I own just about every cooking time management type game on BigFish and this one is really underwhelming for a collector's edition version. It's frustrating that due to problems with game design, it is impossible to achieve gold on all the levels. I'm particularly stuck on 19... where do i get 40 customers from???

Its also over priced for the amount of game there is. after waiting months for a game i am very disappointed with the game play. when playing this game the money you save from one store to the next disappears the little robot is in the way and there's no real trophy's . again its sad there's so very few cooking games and on top of that no real thought has been put into this one.

The best part of this game are the Bonus Levels you get when you buy the collectors edition.

The rest of it disappointed me, not enough variety in the scenes, Every restaurant had the same basic layout, so it became very repetitious.

Not enough challenge in the game either, some games like this you have to strategically buy upgrades in order to progress, this one didn't have anything like that. As an experienced Time Management player, it didn't live up to my standards.

As an introductory version, it would be helpful for someone new to the genre. Show less

There were a few levels the first time through that were somewhat challenging, but after finishing I went back and knocked those out first try, quite easily. Didn't even have to try very hard to get gold on most of them -

Except level 19, which requires 40 customers be served to get Gold, but you can't control how many customers you get -

There were a few levels the first time through that were somewhat challenging, but after finishing I went back and knocked those out first try, quite easily. Didn't even have to try very hard to get gold on most of them -

Except level 19, which requires 40 customers be served to get Gold, but you can't control how many customers you get -

But there IS something wonky there, and if there is a way to get more added to the total, that needs to be in the tips or hints somehow - I've seen screens of other people's game and it shows 35 customers for that level - my game shows 36 - so what's up with that?

Otherwise, it's a lot of fun, but quite repetitive, and very easy to get gold. Overall, disappointed. :( Show less

I prefer the visual appearance of the 2 earlier games and the changes to the way the game play operates is disappointing.

I do not like the way the robot assistant behaves, how you cannot improve John's prep speed which affects achieving the money goals of the levels, and I believe there are still a few bugs in the game, despite the update it had last week. Overall, the game is okay, but I think they released it too soon and changed it too much graphically to consider it a fantastic game! Show less
