If you are responsible for one of the above issues. Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe.Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).These three elements alone made up a big part of the challenge in previous games, and I was sad to not see them in the latest installment.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: Also gone from Boom are the messy families who need high chairs and occasional mopping, as well as desserts. In addition, Boom lacks the "Endless Shift" mode that's been present in previous games, making it even less replayable. The fact that I hit expert score every time gives me no incentive to go back and play any of the levels again. To make sure I wasn't just remembering them fondly, I went back and played some of the previous games and found them to be way more challenging. I don't think I should have been able to do that. However, I was able to achieve expert score on all of the main levels on my first try. I've played all of the Diner Dash games and have gotten pretty good at them over the years, so others might not find the game as easy as I did. Granted, you don't have to purchase these upgrades, but it still would have been nice if you had to work a little harder for the rewards. Automatic umbrellas and secured tablecloths, as well as someone to stand at the podium to keep customers happy and someone to stock the salad bar for you, remove half of the things you would otherwise need to do yourself. Besides the easy seating bonuses, the game also offers so many easy-to-obtain upgrades that the new gameplay elements might as well have not been there at all. In addition, the game adds a bonus for matching every seat at the table, and since just about every party is a perfect match, that bonus is practically guaranteed. You had to really look over the dining room to find the best possible place to seat people to maximize your score. In previous games, you would need to strategize by building up the bonus in one seat at a table, while matching up the rest of the table as best you could. For example, seating bonuses are basically handed to you on a silver platter as nearly every party that lines up for the restaurant is a perfect match for one of the tables. The problem is that the game gives you so many "freebies" that it ends up negating any of the challenge the new elements promised. I'm sad to say that Boom left me very disappointed. When I previewed Boom last month, I was excited by the prospects of all these new elements and was looking forward to the added challenge they would bring to the already frenetic gameplay. Those customers will then help themselves, meaning Flo doesn't need to take their order. Besides needing to be refilled, customers who want to visit the salad bar must be dragged to it. A third new item is the addition of a salad bar to some of the restaurants. Each of these elements requires Flo to secure tablecloths, put up umbrellas, or find Hal to help her fix things that are broken. Another new gameplay feature is the presence of weather (rain and wind) and broken fire hydrants and switchboxes. A new addition to the gameplay is the presence of "townies." These are people who happen to be in the neighborhood of the restaurant and can be added to parties waiting in line to earn a bonus. The game plays the same as its predecessors, including seating and chaining bonuses, snacks, and various customer types, including four new ones. Flo's loyal customer, Hal the handyman, volunteers to help her rebuild, and in order to get the money to accomplish this task Flo takes "the food to the people" by setting up makeshift restaurants in various outdoor settings throughout DinerTown. The premise for Boom has Flo's Diner bursting from a massive influx of customers. While many of these features make for great additions to the gameplay, it feels like PlayFirst has taken one step forward and two steps back, as Boom lacks much of the challenge present in the previous games. The art has been completely revamped, and the player has the ability to fully customize their own diner and play in it for the last levels. With Diner Dash 5: Boom, developer PlayFirst has made more changes to the franchise than we've ever seen before. Hundreds of millions of people all over the globe have downloaded at least one game bearing a Diner Dash title, but the games themselves have remained largely the same until now.
