Cooking Craze vs Happy Sandwich Cafe
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.
Happy Sandwich Cafe
Happy Sandwich Cafe is a sandwich shop simulation game where you not only get to run and manage a virtual sandwich shop of your own; you can even create your original sandwich recipes and test them out to get your customers' (and friends') feedback. The ingredients you need to make your sandwiches can be obtained via quests where you have to fulfill sandwich orders from the local farmer and grocery stores. You can unlock new ingredients by playing mini-games as well. With so many types of bread and fillings, you'll be running a shop that has an even wider variety of sandwiches and is better in any way than Subway in no time!Of course, being a shop simulation game, you'll also get to use the profits you've gained to improve the appearance of your, albeit 2D, shop in many ways, including buying signboards, repainting the walls, or adding some festive decor to welcome any special occasions. Fancy pitting your sandwich-making skills in a sandwich contest? Well, you can do just that in this game and if you happen to win, you can get some exclusive prizes for your shop.
Unlike the usual types of dishes served in cooking-themed games, Happy Sandwich Cafe dared to be different by presenting a beautifully-illustrated 2D look and a different game experience (making and selling your own sandwiches), and somehow, it greatly paid off. So, if you've tired of the usual cooking and shop management gameplay of most games on the mobile platform, you should defintiely check this game out. It is different... in a very good way!
