You're the newest employee of a drive-in diner, in charge of serving the customers who come each day. Roller Rush is another in the what I call Serve-Your-Customer genre of games which involve seating your customers, taking their order, delivering the food/drinks, getting the bill, and removing the empty plates.

Roller Rush has its own twists on the basic format, such as giving bonus dollars if the color of the customer matches the color of the parking spot, customers with different behaviors (some more patient than others), new features every week, survival mode (unlimited play) and being able to buy upgrades with stars you get after you complete each level. Upgrades include faster roller skates, a better menu which gives more money, a sign that you can use to make people in line happier so they won't leave, a soft drink machine which refills faster to give to customers to make them happy, and more. Every week, some upgrades are given automatically, and the diner is upgraded to attract more and different customers.

Roller Rush is a very colorful game which captures the feel of the time when drive-in diners were common; from the miniskirt and ponytail on your character to the convertibles to the jukebox which you can use to play old time rock & roll. It's definitely good looking and easy to play.

Roller Rush is fun and straightforward, so if you want a quickly paced game, I encourage you to download the demo and give it a try.
