Jessica’s BowWow Bistro Review

Dog owners will do almost anything for their precious pooches, even buy healthy homemade treats if they don’t have time to make them themselves. Mac time management game Jessica’s BowWow Bistro takes you on another adventure with Jessica the Cupcake Queen.

Jessica’s cupcake business is doing so well she can concentrate her efforts in other fields. This time she learns that there’s nowhere in her town to get good, nutritious treats for Fido. The only available foods are full of coloring and drying agents, texturizers and other unnatural additives. Jessica makes it her mission to provide organic, wholesome nutrients for the beloved dogs in town. Hey, what about the other pets? I guess that’s a later sequel. In fact, she is so concerned she provides hamburgers and ice cream for her human customers (not very healthy).

The tutorial will take you through the gameplay. The thing to remember is that before the shop opens you have a quarter of the time (upper right side) to prep for the coming day’s work. You really, really need to do this to stay on top of your customers. Some customers are more patience than others so keep an eye out for the fussy ones.

As in most sim time management games, you will be clicking on a lot of things. To begin, you click on the type of dog biscuit you will need to make located at the back of the shop. After this machine dispense the dough in the proper shape, click on the tray of biscuits and click on the oven to bake. Once it is baked, you must quickly take them out of the oven or you will burn them, setting you back a few more seconds getting another batch of cookies. If you need to ice the biscuits, you will have an icing machine to prepare the icing. You’ll click the icing machine and then the counter where you will ice the cookies. Click on the completed biscuits and take them to the basket. Click on the basket again to take them to your waiting customers. Click on the customers once to give them the biscuit and again to collect the money. Once you get the hang of so many clicks, you will smoothly be able to complete your goals with a gold medal time. As you go past the level 10, the activities increase much more and you will have to work at break neck pace to keep up the demands for your biscuits.

In addition to making the pups biscuits with or without icing, you will need to feed the humans burgers or ice cream to keep them happy. Luckily you’ll have Aunt Margaret to help whip up these goodies. You just need to click on what the customer want at Aunt Margaret’s window and she’ll do the rest. Once ready, you click on the neatly made burger at the counter and take it to the customer by clicking on that person 2x. If you pick up the wrong item, you can discard it in the recycling bin at the right of the shop. You can buy upgrades to also help you play faster like getting a mixer that whips up the dough much faster but the cost can be exorbitant. There are decorations for your shop and faster shoes to make Jessica work faster.

Jessica’s BowWow Bistro is your standard time management game, and it will get addictive and you will want to get the gold trophy each time. There’s other sim games that are more challenging so this one may be good for beginners until the later levels. There’s not much difference from Jessica’s Cupcake Café except for the clientele and making doggie treats. If you are a dog lover and a sim time management gamer, this game is perfect for you. I give it a 3 out 5 for a solid game. Woof!
