This is a rather enjoyable RPG, although you must follow a pretty linear storyline, so cannot choose between different quests a lot. There are classic turn-based battles which offered quite a good difficulty level (there are 3 difficulties to choose from, I played the medium one and it was relatively easy for me, but I do have a lot of experience with this type of games).
I was disappointed when the ending came so soon, though - I was expecting more from the game. However, if you like this type of games and you get it on a sale, go for it!

I've been a fan of the Delicious games for a long time, and this one provided no surprises - a solid, good-quality time management game. The story was a bit over the top (I'm not sure it's possible to miss twins in an ultrasound, etc), but fun too. I'm just wondering - Francois has been such a loyal sidekick to Emily for a long time - will he ever get his own story and HEA?
I recommend this game!

I loved this game! It's time management in the style of the Delicious series (which I like a lot too), with just the right level of challenge (i.e I had to go back and replay some of the levels to get 3 stars everywhere, but it wasn't impossible) and a fun storyline to boot. If you like time management at all, you'll enjoy this. BFG, give me more!

So, I usually love this type of games, and tbh, I've seen it before, several times. The quality of the game was pretty disappointing, though, and while it was easy to get expert scores (at least during the free trial - I didn't buy the game), the mechanics didn't work well. It was very hard to understand where the mouse should point for the object to reach the right target - I'd very often think I'd given a product to one customer, only to realise it was actually given to the person standing next to them, and I also didn't have any success in aiming the sauces on the right targets. Also, it was quite boring, so I didn't even finish the trial.
I wish BFG would have more time management games, but not of this quality...

I just can't get enough of the games in Delicious series. I love this type of TM games (lately, sadly, there have been very few of them), but even among the type, I think Delicious is among the best (if not the very best). Different options for difficulty, so beginners as well as experts get an ideal level of challenge, great and multi-faceted characters, beautiful, whimsical graphics... I like that you can complete the level, even without completing the special challenge (of course, I always go back for it, but sometimes it's useful to get some more upgrades before). Yet, I also very much enjoyed the special challenge levels, which are not obligatory, but offer unique perspectives on the game, with the play slightly altered in some way. Renovating and decorating the house is a nice bonus in this one - again, not obligatory, but something extra. :) The game offers many hours of play, and definitely replay value as well.
If you enjoy Time Management games at all, or if you want to try one, please pick this game - it's truly worth it!

I loved the idea of the game - this is exactly the type of time management game I like - classic customer service (with a twist - at the same time, you have to serve the customers food and bring toys to their motorcycles). However, the playing mechanisms were horrible.
It was hard, if not impossible, to distinguish between different guests, so if you queue up several actions, you could accidentally try to serve food to guests whose toy orders you'd already completed (which means they left), so you'd be left with food in your hand. Since the character could only carry two food items or one toy in her hand at the same time, that meant the rest of the queue went wrong (you couldn't pick up the next item, etc). This made it extremely difficult to plan. Also, even though I have a laptop with quite a big screen, I found the details on the screen very small and hard to see. I guess the level of challenge (I played with casual (the medium level), since I wanted to get the hang of the game before switching to expert) was ok, since despite the abovementioned things I managed to get 3 stars on every level I got through (sometimes on 2nd try), but it was incredibly frustrating. For this reason, I only finished the 1-hour trial and didn't spend my monthly credit on this game, even though I usually buy all time management games of this type. I hope the next one will be better!

I used to love BFG's time management games, but lately haven't found anything good. This game is an amazing exception!
The storyline is fun, and manages to tackle interesting social issues at the same time; I think all the levels should be doable by anyone, but there's also some challenge, so you have to work to get 3 stars and all the trophies; the sound and visuals are good. I actually couldn't find a single thing I would do differently, everything's simply perfect. Also, the game is long enough to offer several days' entertainment, so I'd say it's worth the 2 credits you have to pay to get it.
I strongly recommend this game to anyone who likes time management games - and I also think this would be a good start if you haven't tried them before. I hope BFG will give us many similar games in the future!

I was really happy to try this game, because it's similar to Puzzle Quest and its sequel, which I loved. Unlike Puzzle Quest though, which offered days and days of gameplay (and also replay value because of the possibility to choose different types of characters to play as), this one is extremely short - I bought it and then finished in only a couple of hours, so it's definitely not worth the price. Also, there's almost no flexibility - you can choose which of your powers to strengthen, but you can't buy any upgrades or use different spells (again, I'm comparing with the Puzzle Quest games which are superb and imaginative), so you basically just click what you're offered.
To end on a positive note, for a match-3 game, this was quite fun (I normally don't play those without a storyline or some competitive element), but compared to other similar games, not worth the price.

This is one of the games from BFG that I return to again and again - I've owned it since the publication and played it through several times. The time management game has just the right amount of challenge (easy enough to pass, but needs a bit work to get all the stars from all the levels), offers you a choice of how to develop your airport (which upgrades to buy first and which to leave for last or just not buy at all), the graphics are cute but not too bling, and I love the sounds (beautiful, not noisy, but informative). Also, there are very many levels, so many hours of play. Why are there so few new games of the same quality?
I recommend this game!

This was a fun game - new for BFG (as far as I'm aware), but brings fond memories of Heroes of Might and Magic, as far as the battles are concerned. I would have liked a bit more flexibility with which types of soldiers and how many to purchase, and I couldn't understand why the power of the army was limited (so you can't use all the most powerful units at the same time - if you have the money, why not?), but overall, the game was enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the next game in the series (as the ending seems to imply).
I recommend this game!
