Gazzoline Game: Like High School All Over Again
If you liked all those little casual cake baking and waitressing games, then you might just enjoy Gazzoline from the folks at Addicting Games. Now you too can see just how badly the service industry sucks for yourself by waiting on idiots who want way too much too fast, dealing with drive-offs and trying to fit three sports cars at the one sports car pump.
Gazzoline is exactly like those other games–click on the pump to start it, click on the gas station hot dog someone’s feeling suicidal enough to eat (seriously, who eats gas station food unless they have to? Are there no McDonalds around? That’s at least supposed to serve food.), click on the car to bring the item to it, take the money, repeat until your index finger falls off.
It’s fast–maybe a little TOO fast–and it’s also a quick, engaging little play. You’ll have to survive ten days as a gas station jock in a station where people are really impatient, and you’ll discover that you can get pretty annoyed with customers really quickly. This is, of course, nothing new to anyone who’s actually worked retail (served five years in a video store, thank you very much), but just in case you’d like a lesson in how the other half works, then you’ll get it fairly nicely from Gazzoline. Otherwise, spare yourself the misery of reliving your part-time summer job.
