If you like time management games, then you’ve learned a lot about the restaurant business. In Dairy Dash you can learn how to produce ingredients for the delishious meal. In other words, you are going to manage a little farm that supplies eggs, milk and vegetables for the Flo’s restaurant (in case if you don’t know Flo, she is the main character of all Diner Dash games. You can also meet her in some other games from PlayFirst, including this one).

Dairy Dash is a cute time management game about the life on the farm. You have to help the family of farmers with their everyday’s job. Starting with just a few chikens and two goats, the farm is growing as you move in the game. And believe me, its easy to manage a farm when you have just few animals. But when you have plenty of them and also the garden, its a real challenge.

Your farmer must feed the animals and to collect a food that they produce. If you also have a garden, you need to water and to weed it several times before you can harvest the vegetables. When the farm is growing, other family members comes to help. Each man in the farm can do one task at a time. So when you have more helpers, you can work much faster. Because whileee the farmer, for example, is weeding the garden, his wife can feed the animals. The idea of several workers that can do the same tasks makes Dairy Dash different from other time management games.

Another significant difference is that the points that you are earning are now depends on how fast you can do your job. Each animal and garden have a production cycle. For example, the animal is asking you to feed it, then to water it, then it makes some food and finally it goes to sleep for a while. And then asking about the food and water, producing food and sleeping again. From the morning to the evening. So the faster you work - the more food you can collect until the evening.

Sometimes you can get offers that helps you to make more money, like a call from the Flo when she tells you that she is going to buy eggs that you collect after the dinner for a double price. Such events can help you to finish a level with an expert score.

I can’t say anything bad about Dairy Dash. Its a small cute game, and I liked it a lot. Although the graphics looks simple, it is actually very nice. As a whole, its a great time management game to play.
