Oh my, I REALLY like this game! Already beat AAA and #71 in high score table (for now...)

You must have ninja reflexes cuz I can't even get 200 LOL

The colors of the bowls are too much like each other. It may just be that I'm dumb but I keep having trouble figuring out which bowl is supposed to be used for each dish because I can't tell the difference between the colors.

Multitasking is really needed for this game xD

 

Starting at level 4 is when it gets tricky to a lot of people I noticed. All the dishes will have a specific color. You have to wait until the waiter of that color comes and you have to prepare two of the same color before the waiter will accept them.

 

Also, I like to cut ALL the ingredients before I do anything so I can save time! Spice is the trick! xD

 

Update: I'm #32 for now! I want that trophy! xD....but I'm tired so I'll probably quit already :P

Lol, the first time I played, I couldn't even beat Abigail, but I got over 600 on the second attempt. Played just now and beat AAA! Woot!

[Xepha]

What I noticed is that you really need to focus your attention on the game or you will not make it very far.

Last night, I was distracted by the cat who jumped on my desk and couldn't beat AAA even though I was very close. 1 second of innatention and you end up doing something stupid that takes all your available time.

I didn't even use the focus feature... But I'm guessing it could be useful :). Either way, I still beat AAA with 1.2k+ points!

 

From day 4 onwards, when the colour of the plates matter, remember that there is no time limit that you have to *prepare* a certain dish. That is to say that wait for 2 same coloured ones to appear before preparing them.

 

And this game is really rather similar to kitchen nightmares (Gordon Ramsay game) on Facebook... Wonder if it'll become another nova battles?

[XLSLaYeR]

nice tips :) i just came to look because im stuck on day 4 i was dashing about cooking as quick as i could and it kept burning or going to waste and i wondered why the stupid waiters wernt taking it hahaha

i got the 300 but im going for AAA with the new tips Thanx Guys & Gals

[Rookie:)]

I can't be bothered playing beyond Abigail's score. Too tedious to play.

[sjoudrey]

I also find the game very hard. I have not tried very hard to play it though, due to exams. perhaps after they are over :D

[DarkLord127]

this game takes a lot of consentration lol its so hard xD

[Mouseykins]

This game is fun but I haven`t been able to get any prizes yet.

[Secre]

I don't get this game...I can get to Lv 4 and then I die.

I just managed to eke past Abigail's score (I think? The bowl of veggies was my reward) and when I say eke, I mean I think I passed it by like 1pt. And that was on the 3rd try <_<

 

It's still a pretty neat game though. I like that it's a little more challenging than just point-and-click one thing at a time it's different... although maybe this is just me who usually sticks to the simple games :laughingsmiley:

 

I quit after beating Abi's score but I think now I'll go and try at it again.

[Shane for Wax]

I hate this game with a passion but managed to eek out enough points to beat Abigail. In an ironic twist, my girlfriend is actually pretty gosh darn good at the game. It's a new thing, usually I'm good at games.

[Hoptotheloo]

The thing that was getting me down is that I didn't realise you had to serve the two with the same coloured outlines together and you can't serve one without the other. Once I got that I've been getting a lot higher scores :) AAA Soon I think :)

[pomico]

I keep hitting a bowl just as the level finishes and so instead clicking 'try again'... >.<

Also can somone explain what focus does... i don't really get the point of it :/

I know it's something to stop meals overcooking but surely if it slows the timers down then other food will take longer to cook too so it doesn't actually save anything. that's what i get from it anyway, i've tried using it but it doesn't seem to help

[XLSLaYeR]

WooHoo 899 give me that Magical Island Recipes book :D

a few tips for anyone starting you dont really need focus until maybe day 7 .. all it does is slow the cooking time down so 1 dish doesnt burn while another is cooking, so on your upgrades speed up preperation times

dont bother what plate it gets put on as long as its the right colour glow round it just dump it on the nearest and it will get moved if needed automatically

you roughly get 100 points each round and you only need 50 points on day 5 or so and it adds 5 points that you need to get each day

watch the number on your bowls when you get over day 5 if your not going to have enough ingredients dont do anything just wait

if something burns and you get out of sync with the two dishes for a particular waiter maybe abandon that colour until next round because when i did it i couldnt get them to sync again

This is just to get you past AAA and earn you the book im not saying its the best thing over all but until some one comes up with better tips thats how i got it

[Ashbash]

This game is really fun but I'm not very good at it haha. I try to do everything they tell me but once I get to the day where you have 4 going at once I'm doomed haha. It's still fun though.

[Jamie~gurrl]

Hmm looks fun I might give it a try!:)

[Hannah B.]

Gahh I just got like 745pts. So close to beating AAA <_<

 

I was having trouble passing 200pts as well until I realized I always had quite a bit of time left at the end of each day. So in the later levels when some dishes require two ingredients I can keep my cool and put in one ingredient for each dish that requires two, and then do some more prep work and then put in the ones I need starting with the one that will take the longest...

 

I hope that makes sense :rolleyes_anim: hahah

[Rookie:)]

though this game is fun, I cant beat AAA. My highest score is 700+.

[sjoudrey]

A big help is knowing which things will take longer to cook. That helped me a lot when I knew which burner was going to take the longest, so I knew which to start first so that they would finish at the same time.
