"Our DASH games are deliciously addictive," says Kenny Shea Dinkin, vice
president and creative director, PlayFirst, Inc. "We have devoted fans who
come back again and again to sharpen their DASH skills and keep up with their
favorite characters. Fashion Dash, which will satisfy those cravings, features
traditional time-management gameplay that will also be accessible to people
trying out a PlayFirst DASH game for the very first time."
Fashion Dash introduces the newest entrepreneur in Dinertown(TM), Coco, a
costume designer for the televised dance show Dancerrific who opens a series
of clothing boutiques when the program goes bust. Her goal is to earn enough
money to reunite her friends from Dancerrific, and gameplay is built around
helping Coco run her boutiques. Players do everything from custom fittings to
coat-hanger cleanup.
Featuring 50 levels of game-play and a new cast of characters, Fashion
Dash is a fast-paced time-management game utilizing all of the chaining,
seating, and customer appeasement skills featured in all DASH brand games.
PlayFirst also announced that Fashion Dash will be the second game
featured in its new DASH Pass(TM)-a special promotion which allows consumers
to pre-order all five summer DASH games at a significant discount.
Fashion Dash is now available for both Mac and PC. Play a free 60-minute
trial or purchase the full-version for $19.95. For more information on the
