Restaurant Rush obession
Sorry it's been a while since I've updated the game blog, but I've been busy with the Restaurant Rush game. I got all the way to the 60th restaurant and got stuck, so I had to start all over.So my tip is to spend your money wisely on three things: recipes, jukebox music that improves patience by 40-50%, and at the Farmer's Market. Beef and vegetables are the best to upgrade, because they are used in so many recipes.
Sadly, one of my jukebox songs (for 50% more patience) got bugged somehow. Whenever I clicked it, the program crashed. Anyone else have problems with that or know how to fix it?
I ended up with the 3rd best option (not following my tips above), and am in the process of replaying the game. The bonus to finishing the game is that it allows you to start with the recipes you purchased in the first go-round. (Prices for tea and soup, along with all upgrades including the tea and soup machines, farmer's market and jukebox songs) start over. So I'm giving it another run through to get to the best ending.
More game updates soon, though!

Restaurant Rush
Restaurant Rush is a sequel to Burger Rush, where the heroine, Heidi, wants to open a cooking school. Unfortunately for her, the dastardly World Culinary Federation believes burgers aren't sufficient to teach "fine cooking" and require her to open new restaurants and create world dishes. The profits Heidi earns will how she will earn approval.Restaurant Rush offers new and exciting opportunities. The most exciting one to me is that there are different endings based on the level of profit earned. So player skill and determination will make a big difference. There are new upgrades, including a Farmer's Market, where Heidi can improve the quality of the produce and meats, increasing the value of a recipe.
Upgrades occur via tokens. Tokens, as in Burger Rush, appear in the match screen, are earned by meeting level goals (extra tokens are gained by passing the Expert level), via bonus rounds (cook-offs, where you match items to make recipes against the clock), meeting specific goals for a level (such as serving 5 iced teas), and bonus items like a cash register in the match screen.
There is a lot of opportunity for strategy to figure out which is the most important: new recipes, upgrading side dish items such as tea and soup (players can upgrade both the quality and the number of matches it takes to unlock the side dishes for delivery), food quality (at the Farmer's Market), treats to keep the customers happy, desserts, and upgrading the Jukebox, which has different songs.
It also is fun because there are various cuisines. This means the player must choose recipes for each cuisine type as well as invest in cuisine-specific treats. I know my customers have been very happy munching away on some fortune cookies when Heidi is serving Chinese.
There are more than 50 recipes to purchase and 80 levels (via both gameplay modes). Restaurant Rush is a fun, engrossing match three game, and is highly recommended.
Happy cooking!
