Zoo Restaurant merges culinary simulator action with puzzles
Swipe, swap, serve and don't burn the scallops
- Zoo Restaurant is an interesting new culinary simulator out now on iOS and Android
- Serve up customers and create dishes not by adding ingredients, but merging existing foodstuffs
- Serve it up fast and hot for a bevy of cute critter customers
Ah, animals. Cute, dangerous, and, for some reason, the more dangerous they are the cuter we find them. So if your dream is to feed lasagna to a lion without having your limbs ripped off, you'll be glad to know you can finally live out that fantasy with the newly released culinary management simulator Zoo Restaurant!
Alright, so it's basically Diner Dash. "But what-", you might be about to ask, "-makes this something I would want to play?" Well, hold your horses hotshot because Zoo Restaurant isn't just about serving up fresh meals to a bevvy of cute critter customers, no siree. Because it also adds in that seemingly perennial puzzle mechanic of merging to boot!
Rather than dash back and forth collecting ingredients, managing and organising your kitchen, you're presented with a deceptively simple grid of various dishes. Combine them to create new and increasingly complex foodstuffs going from simple drinks to tacos, lasagna and beyond. Serve it up quickly so your customers don't leave hungry and climb to higher stages of increased complexity.
Sure, it may not be a seismic change in the genre, but I think that it says something that Zoo Restaurant was very easy to comprehend from a single glance and that it provided a distinctive twist for us to cover. Usually, there's either a bit of coyness about said mechanics, or a vast number of other additions that overshadow it.
But Zoo Restaurant offers two things, merge puzzles and diner dash-style culinary sim, so if that's what you're looking for or willing to try then I'm sure this will be a winner. Find it now on the iOS App Store and Google Play!
Speaking of time management and enterprise, why not check out the recently-released Hello Kitty My Dream Store for even more in that vein?
