No, I'm not unaware of the proper way to spell "Homemade"... That is how the app title is spelled. likely playing off of the fact that the main character (Which you play) is dressed as a maid.This application is somewhat in the style of the popular Cooking Mama game series for the Nintendo DS and Wii. Only you don't have to prepare the fried foods, you just need to fry them. You also don't have Mama there to tell you what to do.
On the load up screen we have 3 options.
*Start: To begin the game.
*More: To view more applications from this publisher.
*Review: To review this application in the App Store.
The only one you really need worry about is the Start button.
Once selected you may choose one of the four available foods to fry (Mmm, greasy fried food... Just what the... doctor... ordered?). Fried Prawns, Donuts, Potatoes or Creamy Crab.
Pay close attention to the picture of the food before you start to play. You know the food is done when it is exactly that shade of golden brown. The closer the shade to this picture, the higher your score.
I tried all of the food choices. I found that I did best with the donuts. It's really a matter of timing. It can take you a while to get the hang of it. However, keep in mind that the timing changes when you choose a different temperature setting on the stove top.To the right you can see what it looks like in the beginning of the game mode (This screen is taken from the question mark button on the top left of the launch screen), after choosing your food. This is where you set the heat on your stove. The higher the heat, the faster they cook. The lower, the slower. Keep in mind that when frying food in reality, there tends to be one correct setting for the food. Setting it to fry too slow or too quickly can affect the food in a bad way. However, this is just a game, and you aren't going to eat the pixel food you cook. So just set the heat to cook it in a time you are comfortable with.
Once your pot is heated on the stove, it's time to drop in the food. One piece at a time. When it floats and is the right colour you need to remove it as quickly as possible. Once you remove one, the next gets dropped into the pot. You'll have 6 pieces total. Try and get them all perfect.Once all 6 pieces come out you'll see them individually packaged. Each package with a number on it. These numbers represent your score for this particular croquette. A higher score for a shade of golden brown that is closer to the shade on the original select screen.
10000 is the highest score you can get for a single piece. Zero is the lowest score. Should you burn a piece or take it out uncooked, you'll receive a zero. The goal of course is to get the highest score possible. The highest score you've managed to obtained will be displayed on your launch screen, next to the buttons. I believe the final score is a combination of all of your high scores for each food type. I could be wrong, however. There is nowhere in the application where this is explained.It's a fun and cute little application. I used to enjoy the Cooking Mama games (However, unlike Mama's games, you wont come out learning how to cook something new at the end), so this was a nice reliving of that time. I would, however, like for the app creators to add an information button to the front that explains the game physics. There is a question mark that shows in 3 pictures the basics of what you're supposed to do in the game. But there's no word, information about heating preferences or explanation for scoring and such.
This is also built into the Game Center leader board. There's no badges but you can view the highest scores for the day, week and all time. The top all time score is currently 171,600.
