SpongeBob SquarePants Diner Dash

Let’s go to the ocean floor and visit Bikini Bottoms where SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends all live. Once there we can help Mr. Krabs expand his empire of fine dining. The Krusty Krab is franchising out to the vast open wilderness of the bottom of the sea. SpongeBob SquarePants Diner Dash will do just that in a funny and entertaining sim time management game.

The play is identical to the other Diner Dash games where you drag your customers, or should I say minnows, to an available table in your café, wait for the customers to decide, take the order to the rotating ticket wheel, wait for Squidworth to cook up the food, take the food to the table, wait for the minnows to devour it, give the bill to the clients and clean up the table. The only differences I can see in this game compared to the original Diner Dash are the graphics and speed of the game. If you do not meet your goals you will lose a star and must retry the level again. This version is a little easier to begin with in this game and can master the play quite rapidly without too much frustration. The customers are also a little more patient, but that will change as the levels increase. Different types of customers will also start showing up to the diner like the restaurant critic, cods and more. Their patients levels are all different so beware of the hotheads, and take good care of the VIP guest. You start as a junior server and move up in the ranks from there, but knowing Mr. Krabs, it’ll take a long time before you get promoted (that means he has to pay you more money).

The help in this game is the kelp drinks. By giving the fish this drink their hearts will replenish keeping them cool and nice so they will not leave the diner. The other upgrades will automatically appear when you successfully complete a level. The new doors and diner counter are a nice touch to the once broken down restaurant.

The Endless mode is where the customers just keep coming in until you lose all your stars. You lose your stars for each angry customer. If you lose all your stars then you lose the level. When the upgrade button flashes that means you can get something to improve the place, make customers more patient or help run the diner better.

If you have played any of the popular Diner Dash games, you will be familiar with SpongeBob SquarePants Diner Dash. Actually, it may be a little too easy for experienced casual gamers, but it is still fun to play. The cartoon characters are always funny and colorful. This game may be aimed towards kids, but casual sim time management gamers will enjoy it as well. So take a swim to Bikini Bottoms and relish a juicy Krusty Krab burger while you are there.
