Although I just recently started playing, I'm curious to hear what others think.
This game is such a different concept from the other "dash" games, meaning, you really can't chain too much. When I tried to chain I wouldn't even make expert, but when I didn't try for expert, just concentrating on getting what was needed, that's when I got expert, without even really trying.

It took me awhile to get into it, but I do enjoy it. Is there some kind of delay at the beginning of a level?..... Only the farmer starts working, then his wife, comes out a bit later.

Hi LB! I never noticed the delay, it can't be more than a few seconds, right? My thoughts on Dairy Dash: it's more fun than Pet Shop Hop and Doggie Dash, though not as fun as the Diner Dashes and Wedding Dash. Especially on the higher levels, the chaining is not as important as speed. You would think chaining would be the most important, as it is in the other "Dash" games. The only problem I saw in the First Peek version was that some of the items were really small. I think they made them bigger in the final version. I like the game, it's like a combination of Farm Frenzy and Diner Dash.
Overall, I like it!

Hi LB

I'm enjoying it, though like LisaAimee, not as much as the diner dashes. I haven't noticed a delay - as soon as you hear the crowing, you can start and they all start working I find.

I need to keep the sound turned up so I can hear the phone which is a nuisance, as then the sounds on everything else I'm doing on my PC are too loud! I've just got to the hi tec farm and haven't managed expert on every level so far, but I think it's fun overall.

Hi Lisa & Tinlizzie. Yes, I've noticed a bit of a delay on some levels, at first I thought it was just at the beginning, when just the farmer comes out and starts working, it would takes a few moments for the wife to join him. But after playing more, on some of the higher levels, once you get to the "Future Farm" ala Jetson's style, when I click on a task to be done, some of the characters won't respond at all. This is when the daughter is there too. Some of the higher levels are crazy! LOL There's way too many chores to do, and even if you keep all the characters drinking lemonade throughout the level, they still don't seem fast enough! It's probably me! LOL I just started palying and feel like I already need a break!
I like having a challenge for once, after most of the bonus DDHH are way too easy. I thought the glowing red eyes in the woods (wolves, right?) were a nice touch. Poor little sheeps.

I know what you mean, LB. I'm finding the space-age farm a challenge (not least working out what all the weird looking equipment is meant to be!). Haven't got to them being lazy and not doing what they're told yet, but will be on the lookout!

I keep wanting to not send Lucky to scare the wolves to see if they come out and eat the sheep, but lose my nerve at the last minute. May go back to a level I've already scored quite well on and give it a try ....

I did try it (I felt horribly guilty about the sheep and won't be able to look the real ones in the field behind my house in the eyes tomorrow!). No wolves came rushing out of the woods to eat my sheep. However, I'm still setting Lucky on them just in case.

I really liked this game was very challenging to me on a lot of the levels. I wasn't sending the dog over to scare the wolves away either until I realized it was affecting the animals. The produce is a lot lower and they get very impatient when the wolves are howling. Made it a lot easier to score points once I realized that.

I also noticed lag time and many times my "clicks" wouldn't take. That part was frustrating.

That's a good tip about avoiding the animals getting worried and producing less, chambana - many thanks.

I find clicks don't always take either and it's really annoying, for instance if I click anywhere except to the left of the little boy nothing happens.

Everytime I need to find Lucky, to scare away the crows or wolves, I can't find him that easily. It seems the time is so precious when you're running around doing a million chores at once. If you don't use him to scare away the "critters", does that have an impact on your score?
I finally finished the game, but need expert on 4 of the higher levels. Good grief! It's crazy! LOL Talk about a gaming workout!
I don't like when the younger kid, makes the lemonade, he seems to be so much slower, than when he's not there. There seems to be certain time delays, as not all the characters will respond that quickly sometimes, I noticed.

Hi LB. I used to look around for Lucky before clicking on the wolves, and then I kept missing him. Now I just click on the wolves straight away and Lucky seems to appear and deal with them.

I find the odd time delay as well and I much preferred doing my own lemonade!
