Cooking Fever vs Merek's Market
Cooking Fever
Cooking Fever is not only an insanely fun, restaurant-themed, time management game by Nordcurrent; it is also a game that’s fair to its players. Granted that you'll eventually need to spend the game's so-called "premium currency" or gems on either kitchen or shop upgrades, in order to get a 3-star rating for all levels, or even on unlocking a new restaurant, the game provides you with multiple ways to earn these gems for free. Not to mention, Cooking Fever's exciting gameplay is based on the popular, and hectic, Diner Dash game where you'll need to prepare the ingredients and cook the food before serving it to your waiting customers. The game also offers plenty of variety when it comes to the types of restaurants and cuisines as well as both forms of upgrades.Cooking Fever is the long-awaited time management game that fans of Diner Dash or other similar games would really enjoy. It's incredibly addictive, so be sure to clear up at least an hour of your time before booting up the game for the first time!
Merek's Market
Merek's Market is a whimsical shop simulation game with time management elements, putting you into the running shoes of a shopkeeper in a medieval fantasy period where adventurers are aplenty. Craft and sell a huge variety of useful items, be it armor, weapons, potions, or even… pottery, serve your customers as quickly as possible, and try to upsell your items whenever they decide to haggle!As you play, the levels get increasingly more difficult, making that shiny gold rating a real achievement to get. The game also comes with a host of twists to its gameplay, spicing up the typical time management levels with mini-games and funny dialogues.
If you’re a fan of time management games, Merek’s Market offers the kind of gameplay you seek with a couple of nice twists, slathered with enough tongue-in-cheek humor to make you bark out a laugh once or twice on every level. Although I’ve not tried the game’s co-op, its single-player mode is already very entertaining to play, and challenging too, if you’re aiming for that shiny gold rating. Highly recommended!
