"Heart's Medicine: Season One" Walkthrough and Tips


Heart's Medicine: Season One is a short (25 levels) time management game with a hospital theme. You play as Allison, a new resident, in 5 hospital locations.  It has a good basic walkthrough before the first level begins, after the introduction scenes.

The point of this game is to keep the patients happy so that they will check out with the highest possible amount of hearts.  The amount of hearts the patient has at checkout is added to your score. The faster you attend to the patients, the less likely they are to loose hearts.  If you help the patient before the color in their thought bubble drains out, you earn two hearts.  Patients that earn six hearts will have a golden heart.  Once a golden heart is gained, that patient will not loose hearts.

You earn a combo bonus of +1 when checking out two patients at the same time, an additional +2 when checking out three or more.  For golden heart patients, you get +2 and  +3.

Tip: You can right click to cancel your queued actions.

"Heart's Medicine: Time to Heal" Walkthrough and Tips


Heart's Medicine: Time to Heal is a time management game where you play as Allison, a hospital intern, in various locations, serving patients in a variety of ways.  This game has challenge levels as well as regular story levels, and includes mini games.
Side note: I did not enjoy the tasks in the first location, The Ward, very much and thought about abandoning the game.  I'm glad that I did not because the game improves greatly with the next location.  So, if you feel the same, stick with it and I think you'll be glad you did.

Basics:

This game offers a very nice tutorial at the beginning.  Even if you are very familiar with time management games, I recommend you play through the tutorial to accustom yourself to the gameplay.

Game hints are also available and will walk you through any new features of the game.  These hints can be turned off in the settings menu.

The score is calculated by the amount of hearts you earn over the course of the shift.  Patients arrive with a certain number of hearts.  When you check out a patient, you earn the number of hearts the patient then has.  You must work quickly to keep the patients from loosing hearts.  "Quick action", "quick assign",  and "quick treatment" will cause the patient to gain a heart.  The mini games will also gain hearts for the patients.  Waiting too long or loosing a mini game will cause a patient to loose a heart.

Fabulous: Angela's Fashion Fever

The Basics




Fabulous: Angela's Fashion Fever is a time management game made by the creators of the Delicious game series, and the game play is exactly the same except that Angela (Emily's sister) works in the fashion industry instead of in a restaurant.  If you've played the Delicious games, you'll have no problem picking up this game.  If not, you'll want to play the excellent tutorial at the beginning of the first level.


Note: If you are familiar with the Delicious series, you will know Angela's story and will notice that this game (and the previous Fabulous mini-game) makes some changes to her history, as well as to her appearance.  In Delicious: Emily's New Beginning, Angela is a famous fashion designer, even doing photo shoots out of the country, and is still married to Jimmy.  In this game, she is no longer married to Jimmy and just trying to become a designer.  It also mentions her getting married in Vegas, which doesn't match her Snuggford wedding in Delicious: Emily's True Love.

"Gardens Inc.: From Rakes to Riches" Walkthrough and Tips


Gardens Inc, : From Rakes to Riches is a time/resource management game in which you collect and use resources to build beautiful gardens.


The first levels contain an excellent tutorial. The tutorial part of the level can be skipped if you wish.  However, if you are not familiar with the Gardens Inc, games, I recommend you play it.  Any time a new feature is introduced, the game will walk you through it, as well.

Note: When you complete the last goal, the chapter automatically finishes.  If you want to collect extra resources to increase your score, you must do it before you complete that last goal.  Any tasks queued up after the last goal is completed will be ignored.

Tip: You can queue as many actions as you have resources available to complete.  When you have more than one worker, the next available worker will begin the next task in the queue.

Tip: You can right click to cancel the next action.  You can continue to right click until all your queued actions have been cancelled.

Tip: The level timer does not begin until you make your first click.  Take a moment to read the goals and plan out your first moves.

Tip: You may not have to repair all the paths to complete the level.  Pay attention to your goals so that you won't waste time and resources needlessly repairing paths or bridges.

Tip: Do not upgrade your truck until you have enough tasks available to need more than one person.  Otherwise, you will have one person not doing anything and may have wasted resources that you will need for another task.

"Delicious: Emily's True Love" Walkthrough and Tips



Basics:

This game has an excellent tutorial, accessed from the main menu.  I recommend you to play it first if you've not played one of the Delicious games.

Customers order food and pay for it.  When a customer is waiting to pay you will see an image of bills and coins; the coins represent the tip.  The higher the customer happiness, the greater the tip.  Unfortunately, the customers don't have happiness levels shown by hearts next to them as many other games do, so you have to pay attention to customer facial expressions to know how they are feeling.  You will know if a customer has maximum happiness (is ecstatic) because there will be a heart next to his head.  If a customer is angry, his face becomes red.  If he becomes furious it is shown by a storm cloud; a furious customer needs to be served immediately or he will leave and you will be penalized -50.  .Customers will become impatient and pay lower tips if they have to wait in line behind other customers for too long.

When a customer arrives at the counter to pay, a thought bubble will show a stack of money and a stack of coins.  The coins are the tip amount; as a customer decreases in happiness the tip amount will decrease as well

As you play, you will get to know your customers and their level of patience.  The overweight customers (know as "Foodies") and the Senior customers have the most patience and can be made to wait so you can make combos.  Kids have the least patience.
