![]() ![]() The team brainstormed ways of adapting the Diner Dash click management model for two players. One early idea was putting the second player in the kitchen, so that one cooks and the other serves the food. Dinkin then realized that teamwork was present among waiters in a restaurant already for example, if someone had to clean up a spilled drink, the other person would have to cover their tables. This also created competition, because the person who covered the tables would also get the tips. They settled on a competitive mode where two waiters compete to serve the same customers and achieve the highest score. Conventional wisdom told them that women ( Diner Dash‘s primary audience) hated competitive play, so a collaborative mode was also added with a single score that both players contribute to. #Diner dash hometown hero full version#Īs it turns out, the competitive mode seemed more fun and was slightly better received by audiences.There are two different versions, one is the offline version which I have been playing, and the online ‘Gourmet’ edition has a bundle of new features for fellow addicts to enjoy! In the Gourmet edition you can dress up your waiter/waitress in different clothes design your very own diner and then even invite other people to play in the masterpiece you have created! You can also purchase (yes, with money, hence why I’m sticking to the offline version) unique items for your diner, or new downloadable restaurants. ![]() ![]() Of course, what makes this Diner Dash different to the others is this one has a great deal of online interaction. The idea is to get to the end of the level having served as many tables as possible, and hopefully with none of your customers walking out! Hometown Hero has expanded on the already ridiculously addictive gameplay by introducing a new plot, with some hot new themed restaurants (I love the 70s themed restaurant, the customers are in flares, you gotta love it!), new characters, and new ways to make you shout at your screen until you finally figure out your strategy to get you past the level. There are many different types of customer, some get on famously (the teen boys and teen girls flirting are great!), whereas some are chalk and cheese (cellphone addicts and bookworms, ouch!). And don’t forget you can now bring the customers drinks, snacks, puddings, mop the floor if there’s a spillage and so on. But things get increasingly complicated when you have a vase of flowers to put on tables before seating the customers to earn you more points. Of course you’re broken in gently, as you seat the customer, take their order, deliver their meal, then give them their bill and finally, clear the table. You play as Flo, a stockbroker turned waitress, whose one love in life is to wait tables. It is damn addictive.įor those of you that have no idea what I’m talking about, Diner Dash is an extremely popular casual games franchise, and Hometown Hero is the fourth instalment. Good old Playfirst released this new title just at the right time as I was beginning to get really exasperated because I couldn’t find a casual game that inspired the same open-mouthed, mindless addiction. I can’t stand Marmite though, but I do love Diner Dash. Those that aren’t, why are you even reading this review? Yes, Diner Dash is like Marmite. ![]() I suspect that my next statement will achieve mixed reactions – Flo is back! For those of you that are terribly excited by this, then welcome to the club. ![]()
