Cooking Craze vs Cooking Tale
Cooking Craze
Cooking Craze is a very addictive and yet surprisingly easy-to-play time management game developed and published by Big Fish Games. Featuring a linear progression path resembling what you'd see in a standard match-3 games, Cooking Craze is so different from all the other similar cafe or restaurant-themed time management games mainly through its unique gameplay - it's very simple and well-suited for the mobile market. As opposed of having to drag and drop stuff on a small mobile screen, the game is designed so that you can simply tap once to prepare the foodstuff, another 1 or 2 times to add "toppings", and once more to serve the food to your customers. Coins that are left behind are then automatically collected.Not to mention, Cooking Craze also has a 3-tier per level system whereby each new tier represents a higher difficulty level. You are not forced to replay a level just to complete all 3 tiers, unless there's a golden comment card, which is needed to unlock new restaurants, attached to the second or third tier rather than the first, but you'll end up having more coins to spend on food and tool upgrades if you do.
Cooking Craze is indeed a very intriguing time management game (since it's likely the first of its kind) that's just perfect for casual gamers to put in a couple of minutes of play in between the gaps in their schedules and daily routines.
Cooking Tale
Cooking Tale is a fun yet somewhat simple, cooking-themed time management game that is developed by Gamegos. In this game, you'll assume the role of a fresh graduate with a culinary diploma and a determination to make it on her own. You stumbled upon a rundown burger stand and thought... well, why not start there?The gameplay in Cooking Tale will definitely put your time management skills to the test and keep constantly busy as you try your best to fulfill all your customers' orders. Unlike other games, you have a pretty trimmed-down upgrades system for your kitchen tools but in terms of shop decor, which should help you extend the patience of your customers, there is only very few of them. Due to this, the game actually relies more on your skills rather than the tools you use. But of course, if you need some help, there are always boosters to tilt a game to your advantage.
Featuring over 730 levels of widely varying themes, Cooking Tale is a mobile/Facebook game that's simple enough to be perfect for some casual time management fun and yet is challenging enough to keep you coming back for more.
