This is a lovely TM of the Dash variety with clear, bright graphics and some very well drawn customers of varying degrees of patience (naturally!). There are upgrades galore in the main game and also an "Antique Shop" where you can buy further enhancements with earned coins that help you move faster or make your clientele more patient.

This is a lovely TM of the Dash variety with clear, bright graphics and some very well drawn customers of varying degrees of patience (naturally!). There are upgrades galore in the main game and also an "Antique Shop" where you can buy further enhancements with earned coins that help you move faster or make your clientele more patient. Mini games pop up every few levels that allow you to earn more coins for the Antique Shop.

There's an easy and a hard mode. I played in easy mode to start and that does become challenging quite early on, but then what would a good Dash style TM be without the challenge?

This is fun and it's addicting. I'd recommend this to fans of the genre. Show less

I recommend this game!

This was a truly great game. I loved it! The game starts out showing 2 rich siblings lazing the day away. Their father, tired of their ways decides to send them on a cruise to a special island. One where they will not be able to return home from until they earn the money by working at island bars. The game was very challenging. You really have to work hard to get the gold in all levels. Hope you ...Show more

I love time management games, and am often disappointed when they become boring and repetitive right away, or too challenging too fast. Nope, I played this one right to the end. I wouldn't say it's the best of the best, but I was definitely hooked.
I only rated visual/sound quality and storyline at an "Ok" because they're pretty much just innocuous. They don't make the game any better or worse, they're just there.
A unique feature that took a few levels to get used to, but I actually really enjoyed once I got used to it, mousing over coins to pick them up instead of clicking, and later in the game you can upgrade a dog to do this for you.
My only complaints are; the mini-game is annoying, I'm not sure if it's a kink in the game but I couldn't click on the flying fruit, and didn't gain enough from playing it anyway, so I kept skipping the mini-game altogether.
Second complaint, you can't right click to cancel queued tasks! However, I only found myself wanting to a couple of times in the entire game. In regular TM games you often queue ahead a ton of clicks, but this game is fast enough that it's not really necessary (or possible) to click ahead more than a couple of times.
But don't let that stop you from trying it! It wasn't too fast to keep up with and enjoy, and the upgrades are helpful and pretty satisfying. Try it! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is NOT a dash-style game in that you do NOT have to drag customers to tables (which I hate). You only have to fill orders for people at the counter and bring them their food and take money, making it more like the cake decorating ones.

It's cute and very enjoyable, even though the later levels DO get harder. There are several different bars you have to run, one after the other, and although you have to start over with some of the perks with each one, you also have some perks that are permenant, so you don't have to rebuy from level to level, and you also still have them when you go back to complete earlier levels, so that's really good.

I like that it's not a click fest. Like to pick up coins, you only have to hover your mouse over them and it picks them up without you having to click. Great for those who don't like the strain on the tendons in your fingers from those click-fest TM games. Show less

Great game, good story, very addictive! I like the ability to queue up multiple actions at once, and reap the rewards from multi-tasking at a great pace. Sometimes it can get a little too challenging, and lose customers due to this, but that's the challenge I like! ; )

I recommend this game!

I absolutely love this game!!!! The levels just keep coming and its very fast paced with very impatient customers.
I love the fact that I failed quite a few levels and had to repeat it, just shows the level of challenge of the game. I'm playing Katy & Bob Cake Cafe now and its very slow compared, but it is an older game.

This is a simple, yet fun and addictive dash-TM game. It has all the incredients needed to make for a fun, fast gameplay. The graphics is simple but satisfying and you get just enough tasks to keep you busy without getting overbearing.

I recommend this game!
