Diner Dash:® Hometown Hero™

I was not impressed with this game on PC. I used to love playing with on my phone but there are so many glitches here. This PC game also keeps crashing. Wish I would've just saved $10 on some other game.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS GAME I REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT

It's a simple, fun, and nostalgic game. Definitely worth picking up if you just want something to pass the time!

game keeps crashing while playing

keeps crashing but still fun

This game was definitely a core childhood memory for me (´｡• ᵕ •｡`). I used to play it all the time, so naturally, I was curious to revisit it. At first, I was a bit hesitant to buy it because of the mixed reviews, and honestly, they weren’t wrong (・・;)

When you launch the game, the interface is quite glitchy and laggy. The mouse tends to ghost and leaves a faint trail across the screen, which was a bit distracting. Correct me if I'm wrong but I also vaguely remembered using right-click instead of left-click. It might just be muscle memory kicking in (・・;) That said, I didn’t experience any crashes, which is a plus. I managed to reach level 9 before the lag became too much to deal with, and I had to alt+F4 out of the game (╥﹏╥)

I was about to refund the game when I came across a review saying the game works better when not in fullscreen. Tried it out and yes!!! That actually helped (＾▽＾) Still, considering the glitches and the price point, it doesn’t really feel like a full-price purchase. There aren’t any noticeable updates, new features, or DLCs. It’s really just the same old Diner Dash, which might appeal to nostalgia but doesn’t offer much beyond that (´-ω-`)

So in conclusion, if you’re buying it purely for that nostalgic feeling, it might be worth it. But if you’re hoping for improvements or new content, this game probably won’t deliver (・_・;)

Followed the advice of other reviews and played in windowed mode. I'm on Windows 11 and I was able to play every level to an expert score with zero crashes.

The Diner Dash games will always have a special place in my heart. It's heartbreaking to me that this is the only installment in the main series available on Steam and that it doesn't even come with the expansions. It was wonderful to relive some of my childhood for about 10 hours though. I remember getting Flo on the Go for my birthday one year and I was SO EXCITED that you could change her clothes. I played all the Dash games over and over. I hope that I can find Diner Dash 2 and 3 somewhere (I never played the first one, or the fifth one).

Edit: I was able to find the rest of the Diner Dash games, the expansions for this game, the rest of the Cooking Dash games, the rest of the Wedding Dash games, the second Hotel Dash game, Doggie Dash and Parking Dash! :)) I found most of them on (old games download .com) and the rest on (my abandon ware .com). ((Remove the spaces on the websites)) I also found all of the Cake Mania games on Internet Archive. They all have the same issue: PLAY ON WINDOWED MODE!! Have fun everyone! Time management fans unite!

This was the only game in the series I hadn’t finished. Some of the levels are actually tough, I like it when it’s not always easy to pass the levels or reach expert scores. And it's always super cool to be able to customise Flo's uniform!! I just wish Steam would release the rest of the series too :(

it's simple, brainless and since I played it in the past, for me it's also nostalgic

too much crash in this game. please help

funny yet annoying

The game works well in non-full screen mode. You will need to adjust in option menu. Super fun and nostalgia at the same time. Happy to pay full price for this. :)

Like most other users, I am having technical difficulties with the game as it keeps on crashing.

No issues if as long as you don't play in full screen mode! Fun game!

hang

I was super pumped to play Diner Dash as I grew up playing it & was looking for a good blast to the past moment. Not only is it extremely laggy but, with 23 minutes into the game it had crashed twice. To say I am disappointed would be an understatement.

Game lags really bad, black screen blips & crashes.

Another update after making sure all my drivers and equipment is up to date: STILL crashes nonstop its unplayable

This game is fun but it crashes every time I play it... Not worth the money. Nothing is getting fixed.

Crashed after 8 levels. Was doing well until then.

my wife played this shit way WAY to much lol... she enjoyed it... i think. idk...

sadly still crashes by lvl 4 wish someone would fix it bc diner dash was a really good game sad to see it go

cute fun rage.

Great, classic Diner Dash. To bad the game crashes every 5 levels and has to be restarted.

Game literally crashes every time you try and play through a level. Listen to the reviews. I should have.

Game crashes all of the time... Needs to be fixed

i've always loved diner dash, but for some reason on this one in two different locations i cannot beat level 10, what is going on???

extremely glitchy

It's going to crash every time you try to play it.

I love this game and have been playing different versions of it for years. However, it crashes too much and there seems to be no way to fix it.

the game is very crushed !!!

This is one of my favorite games brings back so much nostalgia.

Crashes alot.

Buggy and unplayable. Wife played it too long for a refund.

i should've listened to reviews saying about it crashing, can't even get past the third level without it completely stopping, and then when you re-launch it the game won't last for more than 10 seconds without crashing. it is a fun game but deffo avoid and find a game that is similar :(

The Diner Dash series is a fun, retro blast from the past. If Steam can work out the bugs (game frequently halts & restarts), and get more in this series, I'd love to have more to play.
