JUST IN: Parking Dash!



As you see in the picture above, those are pictures of the new game coming after Cooking Dash, Parking Dash!

Meet Karma, the newest arrival in DinerTown and the star of Parking Dash, a new time management game being published by PlayFirst and scheduled to launch in September.
Karma's life takes a dramatic turn when she inherits a property left to her by Great Uncle Henry. She rushes to DinerTown to claim her inheritance - only to find that it's just a parking lot behind Flo's Diner.
Flo encourages Karma not to sell the property, but instead use it to help address the growing traffic problems on Florida Street.
Parking Dash is being developed by newcomers Kef Sensei, the Uruguay-based studio that won PlayFirst's Developer Dash game design contest back in 2007 and landed a publishing deal with the company as a result.
According to PlayFirst, you'll "rack, track and even stack" cars as part of Karma's one-woman valet parking service. In addition to the time management gameplay, Parking Dash will also introduce a puzzle-solving element where you have to figure out the best place for cars of different sizes and shapes to fit.




Cooking Dash!

And she cooks, too! When Cookie the Chef leaves Flo's Diner to pursue a career on a popular cooking reality TV show, he creates a shortage of chefs in DinerTown by inviting them all to appear as guest stars. It's up to Flo to pick up the slack with a whole new set of food service skills! Help Flo and Grandma Florence keep five DinerTown restaurants up and running...if you can stand the heat!
