Timing these events to keep things straight gets hectic, but after a few stages you get the distinct "been there, done that" feeling. The game's difficulty increases as you progress (though it's always a bit too easy) with more family members creating more messes for you to clean. Something as simple as changing houses would have completely revived the game midway through its 150 levels. On the down side, Nanny Mania gets repetitive due to a lack of variety, both in types of chores and in scenery. The interface couldn't be simpler and makes things like cleaning the aquarium far less tedious than one would think. The animations are fluid, especially those of the nanny, and sound effects help clue you in on tasks that need to be completed. If you're efficient, however, you can finish much sooner than that and earn bonus points.Īnalysis: Nanny Mania has a great visual style that feels like a cross between Virtual Villagers and The Sims. The day comes to an end when you complete your chores before the time limit runs out. As the family moves about the house they create more work for you (especially babies knocking everything over), so keep an eye on everyone as best you can. Start gathering the laundry and tend to multi-stage tasks first, then take care of smaller things in-between. These are linked together by flashing yellow outlines, keeping the interface as simple and easy to use.Īs you enter the house each day a number of chores are waiting for your nanny-like attention.
Some tasks have several stages to them such as gathering laundry, putting it in the washing machine and then into the dryer. A checkmark appears on items you've clicked, allowing you to set up a queue of tasks and operate more efficiently. You can do things in any order you like, though it's always best to do tasks close by so you don't spend your valuable time running across the house. Keeping things tidy is remarkably easy: just click on the objects with a yellow outline. Boring in real life, but Nanny Mania is so well put together you'll have a blast. The Mayor of Suburbia and his wife are too busy to cook and clean up after their growing family, so it's your job to straighten furniture, do the laundry, and perform all the little tasks that need to be done during the day. Nanny Mania by ToyBox Games follows a formula similar to downloadable games such as Diner Dash and Cake Mania where you play a working woman going through the daily grind in order to make a living.
Casual games have the unique ability to turn boring, stressful and un-fun tasks into entertainment.
