It's been a long time since we've been treated to a really good Diner Dash type Time Management game. The best part about this game is that you don't have to click and drag anything! Although I love this safari themed game, I don't see the need to pay twice as much for a Collector's Edition version. The only thing you get with the CE version, is 10 Concept Art pictures that are very cartoonish, 5 downloadable Music Soundtracks, 12 Trophies to earn for hitting milestones, and 10 Bonus Levels. None of these features are interesting to me personally, so I'll wait for the Standard Edition to buy the game.

Katy & Bob are siblings who have a rich daddy. The dynamic duo are offered the opportunity to get in on the ground floor, of opening up several cafe's in the expanding Safari Park. Daddy thinks this is a great business adventure so they open the first of three cafe's. The graphics and game mechanics are way better than the original Katy & Bob: Way Back Home, which was released in 2012.

This is a point and click TM style game, where you click the customer to give them a menu first, and then click on the item they order, deliver the order and click to check them out. You don't have to drag anybody or anything (a feature I really find annoying) After checking the customers out, they leave you a tip that requires another click on the coins to receive your tip. The slower you are at doing these tasks, directly affects the tip, with gold, silver or bronze coins earned. The "expert" goal amount is shown before the start of each level, and there are Bonus Goals available (but not required) which are shown at the bottom, such as collecting money from three consecutive customers.

As you progress, the menu items increase, and more combo's are orders. a customer may want a steak, or a steak burger with veggies, and or condiments. There are three different fruits available, apples, oranges and grapes. Some customers want fresh squeezed juice which requires you to place the correct fruit in the juicer before serving. If they want it frozen, you have to take the fresh squeezed fruit drink into the freeze machine and wait until it freezes before serving.

After each level, you can use the money you earn to buy items or upgrades from the shop. You can buy extra serving stations, increase the price of items or upgrade flooring etc. to keep customers happier longer. Eventually, you will unlock the Antique Shop, at specific levels, that allows you to buy artifacts that speed up service, give the customers a better disposition, or make them more patient for longer times for example.

I love everything about this game, except for the CE price, so I highly recommend the game, but for me personally, I can't see paying twice as much for this version, just for some concept art pics and a few trophies. If you don't mind the price, or you love the CE bling offered, that's okay, but I do suggest waiting for the Standard Edition to compare the two side by side, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I loved the first one, and I was so excited to see a second, finally!! This is the Time Management I have missed on bigfish. The gameplay addicting, storyline fun and classic, and the graphics more up to date, I especially love all the updates we can do, really a great game and I surely hope there will be a third?! :-D If you love classic bubble thought TM games then you will love this!

I recommend this game!

This is an outstanding TM game. To start with the dialogue is captured in comic book style with wonderful graphics and conversation that pulls you into the storyline from the start. The Safari Cafe is charming where there is a long stream of hungry customers who want to be served in a timely manner. The music and sound effects are spot on adding charm to the safari atmosphere.

This is an outstanding TM game. To start with the dialogue is captured in comic book style with wonderful graphics and conversation that pulls you into the storyline from the start. The Safari Cafe is charming where there is a long stream of hungry customers who want to be served in a timely manner. The music and sound effects are spot on adding charm to the safari atmosphere. I only wish there was a relax mode as the customers leave if they are not served quickly leaving me a bit manic. Show less

This game offers something new every level, no level is alike. I love how as I play the game, if I fail a level I have an opportunity to retry, but it doesn't start me off completely anew. I could use the money from that same level to buy an upgrade such as upgrading the price of fruit. The upgrade benefits me well as I would retry and successfully complete the level. In this game it's quite easy ...Show more

I could use the money from that same level to buy an upgrade such as upgrading the price of fruit. The upgrade benefits me well as I would retry and successfully complete the level. In this game it's quite easy to get expert scores because the customers are patient enough. I just wish that there was a more creative aspect to it such as customization. Show less

I couldn't put this game down! I was hooked by the first level. The game mechanics were simple and easy to get the hang of. Levels got harder and harder as time went on, but in a good way! Eventually you had to evaluate what you wanted to spend your money on, since there were a variety of upgrades for your cafe that were kind of pricey. This was a great touch as opposed to making it very easy to accumulate money for cheap upgrades.

Though the visuals could be better, I'm sure they just didn't hold up to today's standards. The story also wasn't anything to write home about, but for a non plot-driven game I can't complain too much.

Overall an incredibly addicting game that you won't be able to put down! Show less

Thought this was an excellent time management game. High marks on all areas: colors, art, fun, story line. Only problem was over too fast. Really did seem to go faster than normal for a TM game.

I do highly recommend this game.

This is a great series. I loved the Delicious series until they started to get clunky two years ago. I stop buying them. Katy and Bob have renewed my faith in time management games. this is A-1 game. The level difficulty grows on a pace that does not frustrate you.
