Diner Dash

Been playing Diner Dash, kindly sponsored by yuqin. There's been qte alot of different versions arnd by now (Diner Dash 2, Diner Dash 3, Diner Dash Hometown Hero etc.) but yuqin only managed to get the very very first version of diner dash. Well, better than nothing. And it's only for less than 10 bucks.

The game is about Flo, a former stock-broker, building her new diner career. The flow of the game is rather simple; customers enter, you seat them at appropriate tables, take their order, bring them their food, take them their check, and finally clear the table. Happy customers, indicated by the length of the row of hearts, earns you more tips, which means more equipment, and eventually, more restaurants.
Customers wear different coloured outfits. To earn bonus points, you need to sit a new customer dressed in the same colour as the previous customer over the empty slots, so increase customers' happiness.

First part of the game was ok, but after level 2, the challenge increases significantly through a series of new game wrinkles. You will have to juggle a lot while serving customers. Customers don't like to wait for anything and you'll have to give them a free drinks to buy a little extra time before the row of hearts dissappear one by one. The queue gets longer and longer; you will have to stand at a podium near the queue to keep customers happy. By level 5, customers can ask for different snacks when looking at menu or dining, and Flo needed an extra pair of hands to handle them.

The game g0t frustrating when I was a little stuck at level 2-10, 3-4, and now 5-6. I'm still stuck at 5-6. The queue is ridiculous, and i'm suppose to "find the right rhythm" to serve them cos they appear in batches. But the customers dine at different speed! Will find the "right rhythm" soon =\ Then i can complete the game, return it to yuqin, and start mugging.
