So, what we can expect from the new Diner Dash? Well, of course, some new things and the same things. New vows are made and she begins her 'quest' to make the town reborn one 'french frie' at a time.Īnd here we are with the premise for Diner Dash: Hometown Hero, the latest sequel of the Diner Dash franchise, straight from the PlayFirst game labs. She comes back home just to find her hometown looking very bad. Today we can enjoy the 'entrepreneur extraordinaire' Flo again. Until now, we had a simple 'Diner Dash', then a 'Diner Dash 2 (the) Restaurant Rescue' and the cruise ship adventure of 'Diner Dash: Flo on the Go'. Directly from the 'Flo-Files' here comes the new 'Diner Dash: Hometown Hero' game. It incorporates a new element of friendly competition into the game instead of always going against the clock.If you had enough of the 'weekly puzzle', here's something new for a change. In these levels, the only goal is to make more money than her assistant. Players just continue to play to see how much money they can earn.Īt certain levels in the game, Flo hires an assistant. The player also has the option of playing a 'continuous shift' where there are no levels or story. New elements are also added such as spills or desert in different levels in order to make the game more challenging and interesting. As the player moves from level to level, they are able to select new upgrades for the restaurant.

Each level has a money goal that one must reach in order to continue on to the next level. However, if the customers remain happy, they will stay and tip well. If the mood drops low enough, the customers will leave and players lose money. Each group of customers has a row of hearts at their table in order to show their mood. There is hardly ever only one group of customers at a time, so the player must use time management in order to keep all of the customers happy. Then, Flo must take their orders, send the order to the kitchen, deliver the food, give the group the check, and clean the table for new customers. Extra points are given for seating a customer in a chair that is the same color as the customer's clothing. One must drag and drop each group of customers to a table appropriate for their group size. Gameplay involves seating customers as they enter the restaurant. Flo and Grandma Florence enter the disco and celebrate its anniversary. Grandma tells Flo that a woman who looks very familiar to her had helped her. When Flo encounters Grandma Florence in the present, she tells her about the disco and discovers that Florence's Groovy Disco is up and running. Flo then resolves to help Florence keep her eatery afloat by helping her.Īfter helping Florence, Flo says goodbye, runs back to the rollercoaster, and warps back to the present time.

Once the amusement park has been successfully restored, Flo decides to take a ride on the park's rollercoaster before leaving and ends up warping back in time. Flo and Grandma head to a shack at the park for a funnel cake, but decide to help the poorly managed waiters when they see how bad the amusement park has got. When Flo notices an old building, which was apparently the aforementioned disco, Grandma says that she was unable to keep it afloat, and all that is left now is a parking lot. During the trip, Grandma Florence tells Flo about the discotheque she used to own when she was younger. Flo and Grandma then revive the museum with the help of the customers and the museum celebrates its grand reopening.įlo and Grandma later go to the Boardwalk Beach.
