I've been officially at PlayFirst for almost three weeks now and they've already got me addicted to playing PF games after work. I think that Chocolatier 2 feeds into some inner secret desire to jaunt off to foreign locations searching for exotic ingredients. I could totally see myself bantering with some shifty character in a cave trying to negotiate a better deal on saffron. Why not!
The only thing here better than the games is PlayFirstCody. There is something fabulous about being able to throw a ball down the hallway and have it returned to you during stressful moments. He has got to be the most spoiled puppy ever and he deserves it!
Pet Shop Hop is here!

Sure, it starts out simple enough. Mr. Big's spoiled daughter, Miss Mink, is trying to put Cassie's family pet store, "Dinertown Pets," out of business. So what does she do? Taking a cue from her spunky friend Flo, Cassie takes on the challenge of managing the pet store herself, growing the business from a modest pet store into an exclusive pet boutique! Starting with only fish and eventually offering exotic birds, cats, puppies, hamsters, hedgehogs, and rabbits, Cassie's simple challenge turns into mayhem as her inventory grows and her business thrives.
As the producer of Pet Shop Hop, I can tell you that the game was a great product to work on. The developer used 3D graphics and an isometric camera angle that successfully immerses the player in the environment of Cassie's world. For the first time in a "Hop" game, we included a simple business simulator. You must help Cassie stock her store. Different pet types generate different profits, and have a wide variety of caring needs. You must select the animals carefully, staying within Cassie's budget as you anticipate what your customers will request.
We are very excited about the launch of Pet Shop Hop. Flo's retriever Skillet agrees with me that it's sure to become a pet favorite!

We all know Flo's job isn't easy. Serving all those demanding customers while managing to save diner after diner? It's a challenge to say the least. Find out what else Flo has to deal with in our latest comic on DinerDash.com! You can also grab the March calendar while you're there.
If you haven't noticed yet, we've added new avatars for Dress Shop Hop and The Nightshift Code for you to use. More are on the way, but you can always dress up your My Waiter if you want something a little more unique. I'm planning on shopping for my Waiter next week because it's a special time of the year for me. March is my favorite month - the sun is still shining when I get home (huuuge thing when you have an hour and a half commute), the trees are blossoming (pretty), and there are lot of things to celebrate like bunnies and birthdays and four-leaf clovers.
And before I sound too warm and fuzzy, let me just say in my defense that it's almost spring! Surely there's something you have to look forward to too!
