Diner Dash: Flo Through Time for Mac

Quick summary

Diner Dash: Flo Through Time is a time-traveling strategy/time-management title in which Flo and her grandmother are hurled into different historical periods by a malfunctioning machine. Players manage a string of era-themed eateries, serving customers, upgrading kitchens, and juggling resources under mounting pressure.
