Diner Dash:® Hometown Hero™

Game runs fine when not in full screen BUT can confirm that level 10 is still impossible in 2026. With all options to keep the customer happy (flowers and drinks) and stacking combos I can't get past 8500 where to clear the level you need 10500. Very disappointing

Worked fine on my Windows 10 laptop. One or two crashes but nothing crazy. The cutscenes were automatically skipped. Level 10 is FINE. Took maybe one or two tries to get expert on all of them. Just start the level by stacking podium speeches and then seating customers in a different order than they arrived (stacking all the noisy ones together). Snacks and desserts are NOT as random as people are saying. Each customer gets three chances to order: a snack while looking at the menu, a snack at the beginning of eating and a dessert at the very end. Very easy to gauge whether the table is going to order or if it's past the chance for them to do so. That said. 10 dollars for a game this old is insane. I bought it because I love these time management games and because I saw everyone complaining about level 10 as some sort of challenge. Wouldn't really recommend beyond that. There's no excuse for something to be this janky if they're charging the same it cost when it was new!

This game is so hard and so overwhelming. It used to be the fun kind of chaotic but now it's just discouraging. There are too many new mechanics going at once. Between MULTIPLE types of loud customers, different ways they interact with each other, the environment causing extra work, it's just too much. You also don't pass Level 10 of the first environment unless you chain your actions together. I've played Diner Dash for a decade or so and Level 4 or 5 of the 3rd environment made me lose my first table. And because there so many new mechanics, I can't focus on giving people drinks to increase their hearts because I either have to talk to customers at the podium or focus on all the stupid new mechanics. Also, I would click tasks for Flo to do and she wouldn't do them or she'd go to the wrong table. And they made it so inconvenient for her to get to the farthest tables from her. Instead of going around each table, she can only access them in specific ways. Which means sometimes she can only get to them by going through the entire row instead of also by column.

Unsure why it has mostly Negative Reviews. This is the most incredible game I've ever played in my Entire life. You have to master the skill of Dining and Dashing in order to beat level 10 of the first Restaurant. Once you do? You'll under the highs and lows of Diner Dash.

This game played really well for me! It was hard in some parts but I was able to beat it!
