Cafe Dash: Dinner at the Diner

This game used to be much more fun, prior to the last update. It’s always been pretty greedy with the rubies needed for EVERYTHING, and I found it impossible to play without spending money to purchase them, since you can only earn a couple a day, and it would take exactly forever to level up. I do not mind spending money on a game I enjoy, within reason. I don’t think you should have to spend money daily though. But since the last update, not only have the graphics been very slow and glitchy (which is not what you want on timed challenges) but they have gotten even more greedy. On the old version, if you sat through 9 (long) ads, you could earn 2 rubies, and five minutes of a booster that was enough to help you play one, maybe two levels if it wasn’t being to glitchy and lagging. But now you have to sit through 15 videos to get two rubies (which is enough to do exactly nothing) and the same five minute booster. They will give you coins pretty freely, but they’re worth nothing without the rubies. Not worth playing when there are much better alternatives, and most definitely not worth spending the amount of money it would take now.

I rarely write reviews but this is game is so fun! If you like time management games you’ll love this one! My favs are GH and Delicious also Hotel Frenzy and Cooking Diary This game has fun graphics and combines all the best features of my favs (like a fun way to restore patience to your customers) It’s challenging without being so hard that you need boosters on every other level I don’t mind spending money for hard levels one from a while but I’m going to come impossible to complete without multiple boosters on every level I bought the starter pack but so far so good

I was pleasantly surprised after playing this game. I have played time management games for years and it has been refreshing to play a game where I don’t feel like I need to pay to make progress. I will make an occasional purchase to help support the developers if I am continuing to play regularly, but I have almost made it through the third restaurant without having to spend any money. I love that there is a way to improve the customers’ mood (the cat) in each level and I don’t have to use a booster. I think the difficulty levels are great and I look forward to playing levels in all the restaurants.
