PlayFirst Unleashes Doggie Dash™
Diner Dash® Publisher Launches New Spin-off with Flo's Furry Friends
SAN FRANCISCO - February 5, 2008 - PlayFirst, Inc., the leading publisher focused exclusively on casual games, today announced the launch of
Doggie Dash™, a challenging new time management game set in a busy pet spa and based on the wildly popular
Diner Dash® series. Developed by Viqua Games, Doggie Dash is available now for both Mac and PC download at
www.playfirst.com.
"With
Doggie Dash, we're answering Diner Dash aficionados' demand for more Flo and more Dash," said Kenny Shea Dinkin, vice president and creative director of PlayFirst, referencing the Dash series' beloved heroine. "This new game further expands the Diner Dash world by introducing two new entrepreneurs, their furry friends, and more backstory on Flo as players get to meet her faithful retriever, Skillet!"
Doggie Dash takes the fast-paced fun of the Diner Dash series and applies it to pet services, introducing players to an original cast of colorful canines and fantastic felines! In the game, players aid Rocky, the dog, and Wendy, the cat, in their budding romance by helping their owners, pet spa partners Walter and Scarlett, get their new pet grooming business up and running. Players must help dirty dogs get squeaky clean, trim matted cats back to fluffy perfection, and dress up prissy poodles while upgrading and customizing the ultimate pet spa.
Doggie Dash is available now for a free 60-minute trial or full-purchase of $19.95. For more information please visit
