Plant, harvest, rinse, repeat



We've had the flu this week, so there's not a lot going on here as far as game playing, but I did try out this game to pass the sniffling, sneezing endless hours. I'll do a full review when the flu has left the house, but in the meantime, here are some tips that might help you enjoy this game a little bit more than you would if you were to read other's reviews out there.

Don't worry about placing a plant bed, or water sprinkler in the wrong place... if you do, simply hit the "x" button on the top of your screen. This is a delete button, and anything you click on after hitting it will be sold back to the market, as it disappears. Not only do you then get to place the object again, but you get your money back. This "refund" feature may become a strategy to getting the money you need later in the game to build your house.

(I saw someone say that you can't move something once you've placed it, and that's so discouraging, I wanted our members to know better. In the beginning stages of the game, this is a great help)

Buying trees and/or berry bushes is another way to gain cash quickly. You can't "breed" them, but harvesting the fruits will bring quick cash.

Placing a water sprinkler correctly can cover four plant beds so that you don't have to waste time watering the plants. This saves you time, and tons of money on the watering can upgrades.

Sometimes, you may find that planting the least expensive plants *(sunflowers)... and just letting the mice and crows get them is a fast way to get cash, because the garbage they leave behind is worth $50 a piece, as opposed to the $10 you'd get for selling the plant... and one plant bed worth of sunflowers can create several mice and crow leavings!

(I discovered this strategy when I had a sneezing fit, and had to leave the computer without pausing... I came back to nothing but garbage, and raked in thousands of dollars!!)



So far, this game is a relaxing way to pass time. The graphics are cute, but the text is definitely the result of English being the programmers second language. As I've stated in reviews before, I feel that poor spelling and grammar in a casual game's text is just lazy and uncalled for. Hire a proof reader that speaks proper English if you want to profit from selling your games to an English speaking audience, for goodness sake!

Aside from the grammatical errors, the game play is fun, cross breeding is not as much of a chore as it is in other games, because there is a chart built right into the main navigation of the game. Tracking what you've made and HOW you made it is VERY easy.

I'm about half way through building my house (your main goal is to sell enough of your plants to build your house... the steps to building cost more each time you do it). So, you figure I'm half way through the game, I've discovered all the different breeds of plants, and only have about five combo's to go to finish the breeding chart... but I'm not seeing a big payoff ... rather, a big motivator to finish this game. The house will be built, but unless there's some cool graphics at the end when your house is completed, I'm just not seeing a reason to finish this game. It can get rather monotonous.

Maybe I'm just cranky because I have the flu. I'll still play it to completion just to see if I'm wrong, or if things change along the way. The crows come fast and furious as you get into it, so that's rather annoying. Other reviewers say the crows only come once a day. HA! That's only true if you only play it for the trial period.

More as I progress... till then, try it for yourself and let us know what you think!

After playing this game for just short of an hour, I bought it because of all the new options available in this version of one of my favorite time management games. If you're already familiar with the way the Diner Dash games work, you'll feel comfortable with the way this game operates.

I'm impressed with the improvements made to the way the game works technically though. It seems to run a lot smoother than the others. The graphics are sharper, and the movement is much smoother as well.

There are a few really cool options in this game that are nothing like the other Diner Dash games, and I've included screen shots of all the ones I've found so far. [MORE]

Before I get into the nitty gritty of how this game works, I've just got to take a moment here to comment on the graphics. *So cute!* The graphics have a very CGI animated feeling to them, which isn't too strange, considering that's exactly what they are! LOL They move effortlessly over your screen, and even when items are in mid air flying to their destination, they are crisp and clear. Attention to detail isn't lost on me, I love the graphics in this game.

Game Play: As a nice surprise, there was no annoying introduction in this game. You turn it on, enter your name, check out the developer credits (only if you want to), set your options, and you're on your way! The tutorial starts immediately, with tool tips walking you through every step. You'll see this in the screen shots I'm using in the walk through later in this review.

There are enough tips included in the game for you to be able to complete all the levels without too much frustration. The only thing the game doesn't tell you is that you're going to have to remember the best screens for making money, and earning bonus stars, because you'll need to buy upgrades in the store to progress through the levels.

Gameplay: The first level consists of a tutorial that walks you through the steps of gameplay. Seat your customer, wait for them to browse the catalog, bring the fabric for their order to the seamstress, etc. Much like Belle's Beauty Boutique, Diner Dash, and similar games, this one has shop upgrades and other surprises waiting for you as you make progress through the levels.

Maria's Room: One of the first "surprises" you encounter, is Maria's room. You get to choose her clothing before every new level. As you get further in the game, more colors become available for you to choose from. If you're not a budding "fashionista", and have no desire to change Maria's clothing, you may choose to set it to randomize her outfits each level. [MORE]

The announcer, fanfare, and other sound effects are amusing, but not irritating. The in game tips are many, and there are also reminders of tips already given... but not so much that they annoy you, or disturb your game 'groove'. Challenges abound, making it really easy to become determined to do better next round, just to see what kind of surprises may await you.

Transitions from screen to screen are smooth, and navigation through the levels is pretty cut and dry... no wondering what to do next in this one! As you progress, you unlock new, more challenging "courses" to play.

Trophies are earned for milestones acheived, and the money you earn can be spent in the Golf shop. We all know golfers enjoy their own fashion rules! LOL

Overall, a very entertaining game that combines our love for a classic solitaire game with a taste of the golf course. This game should definately come with a warning... it is terribly addictive! I quit and saved my game after the 5th hole I played just so I could buy it before my time ran out... I didn't want to lose any progress! LOL [More tips, tricks and screen shots]
