The sneak-ish plot of Diner Dash....
Ok, I dunno if u peeps ever heard of Diner Dash... It is actually a PC game, transformed into a Mobile game and recently, yes, the game consoles.... PSP and NDSL....
It is actually a simple outlook with a deeper plot type of game.... Basically, we all play as the character Flo, a waitress, and a restaurant owner.... So all we need to do is seat the customers, then jot their orders, (the chef cooks them), then we send them out and then check their bills and clear the tables.... then continue the whole routine....
Each customer has their own happiness level, like all of us, so we cannot keep them too long waiting for their seats and food and every other things as well..... just like all of us.... we all hate long queues, long waiting period and worse, lousy waitresses' attitude..... That was my thots too....
While playing the game, my focus was to keep the customers' happiness level top to the brim.... making sure they are served quickly... be it their dessert, snack or main meals.... if they get upset, i quickly fill their drinks and talk to them to make them happy again.... i have to make sure they leave the restaurant with FULL happiness level.... no one leaves angrily and every one gets wat they ordered....
I was WRONG...
I was playing the last level of the supposed last restaurant, and no matter what i did, i cannot accomplish the goal of the day.... meaning, earn enuf $$ to achieve the goal... (each level has a fixed amount of money to earn as a goal, if u din earn enuf, u have to replay it till u achieve it) I played for almost 2 weeks, trying to crack that level.... I JUST COULDN"T.....
Being frustrated, i went to its official game site and search forums.... it was then i realized, everyone had the same problem...almost all couldn achieve that last level of the Retro Restaurant.... then, there were discussions which i finally get a chance to read and realize the real meaning to Diner Dash....
The idea isn abt keeping their happiness level top and full.... the idea is making a chain to the routine i do..... if i am jotting orders, then i shd jot all of the customers orders at one go, and then serve them together, instead of one by one and serve them 100%..... which was a shock, cos even when i manage to get all the expert goal for every level after that, i lost many customers at the higher level..... which i thot i cannot allow.... (they do leave when the happiness level drop to ZERO slowly)
Well, i manage to smoothly finish the last level of the Retro Restaurant, and i lost abt 5 tables in that level..... cos it is hard to keep everybody waiting while waiting for the other tables to take their orders down before i can serve the food up.....
So yeax.... if you peeps can DL the game, have a try.... initially u might be used to serving a table 100%, but u will realise it is so hard to achieve the goal at the higher level..... after all, u have to lose some to gain some..... =)
Okai.... Go with the Flo peeps..... hee =D
