At Last, a Quality TM Game! More, Please!
In the past year or more, to my great disappointment, it seems as if I can find only occult-themed HOGs on Big Fish. With "Katy and Bob" I found a fun, colorful challenging action-fest, and I've been glued to my screen ever since! Very much along the lines of the Turbo and Dash series, this title offers bright settings, attractive characters, and plenty of frantic clicking - just what long-neglected TM fans hunger for! Keeping things popping are impatient monkeys who place orders on the opposite side of the screen from regular customers. The reward system includes hearts, awarded for repeated actions, which stoke a crate full of fireworks. The fireworks replenish all customers' patience levels. (Their levels can also be filled by cashing out Katy's suitor.) Another reward opportunity comes from fulfilling specific tasks for each level, for example, serving 17 monkeys or earning a specific amount of cash. Completing these tasks earns you gold coins, which can be used for upgrades such as character speed or customer positivity. I am on my fifth go-through of this game and only wish developers would make more like it! Highly recommended!

I enjoyed this one
This one was fun and simple. It was easy to understand and I liked the story line. My only negative is that it could have been longer. Look forward to another story about Kate & Bob.

Excellent!
Great game, good story, very addictive! I like the ability to queue up multiple actions at once, and reap the rewards from multi-tasking at a great pace. Sometimes it can get a little too challenging, and lose customers due to this, but that's the challenge I like! ; )

Nothing new
The game was fun to start off with but then got boring.
The graphics are ok.
The game, at times seemed to easy and at times seemed to hard. Reminded me game Turbo Subs

A little too click happy for me
I love TM games, but the trend toward frantic clicking on very small targets is not my thing. I like the more planned and strategic stuff. This would probably be a winner for you if you liked the diner dash series though.

It's Okay
The story is fairly interesting, the game however is nothing special or new. Graphics are less than standard, the music irritating, but at least you can switch it off. There are a number of bugs in the game, but they may be fixed in due course. All in all, rather monotonous and I wish I hadn't used a credit up on it.

Addictive Restaurant-Style Time Management Game
I love Katy & Bob: Way Back Home. The story is pretty simplistic, which is fine with me, as the gameplay is perfect time management. You play as Katy, with Bob manning the bar mixing cocktails. As the levels increase, there are more elements to manage, both in the form of additional food and drink styles requested and new mood-boosters for your customers. Balancing all of these items to achieve your goals will keep you clicking and replaying levels for hours.
