Executive Summary about Paradise Pet Salon review
paradise pet salon game
It’s all in a day’s work in Paradise Pet Salon.
Pet Corp, the big bad corporation of the game, owns a chain of pet salons in town. Some pets might just need a quick bath or hair grooming, while some might require multiple services like bath, cut, vaccinations and brushing. You can lead a pet in each hand and right-click to switch the pets around – you’ll always place the left pet first.
Sometimes random events will cause more pets to want a particular service. For example, one day there might be a flu going around so a lot of pets will need vaccinations, or there might be a pet show going on so pets will need to be groomed. Both the pets and owners will start to get impatient if they’re kept waiting too long, and will start to lose hearts.
Paradise Pet Salon is unique from other management sims in that you don’t have to meet minimum cash goals every day to move on to the next level. Instead, the goal is to earn enough total cash over many days to be able to buy out the next Pet Corp-owned salon, thus expanding your own salon empire while gradually chipping away at Pet Corp.’s monopoly.
If Pet Corp. starts offering vaccination services, for example, then you’d better add a vaccination workstation to your shop as well because customers will now demand it. You can also upgrade your workstations to run more efficiently, buy water and food dishes to soothe impatient pets, buy chairs to keep owners patient for longer, and hire an assistant to help you in the salon by automatically take the pets to their owners.
It’s great that Paradise Pet Salon is trying new things, but the game has its share of issues as well. The freedom to customize your salon the way you want it and to juggle upgrades and purchases across multiple stores (instead of a purely linear level progression) is probably Paradise Pet Salon‘s greatest strength, and will prove a rewarding challenge for those who, for example, enjoy playing Monopoly. But Paradise Pet Salon could also have benefited from more polish and better exploitation of its cute pet subjects.
