In a shocking turn of events, DSI Games continues to work on a Betty Boop game despite the fact that linear time continues to move away from the 1930's. If time moved backwards, or perhaps in a cycle, such that we would some day approach the first half of the 20th century, we'd totally understand, but no. Betty Boop is continually losing relevance as we speak.As expected, Betty Boop: Double Shift features Betty dashing through a diner. For what it's worth, it includes ... a bunch of other cartoon characters we vaguely recognize but can't identify. But it's not all Diner Dash. There's an extraordinarily simple rhythm minigame as well!
Keep in mind that DSI is also publishing Barnyard Blast, which more than balances out one or two projects like this.

For the record: The first line of this post amused me enough that I had to read it aloud to innocent bystanders.

Surely this "Betty Boop" of which you speak is a blatant ripoff of "Toot" from Drawn Together. They have cleaned up her image, removed the drugs and alcohol, and given her a different name so as not to incur the wrath of the lawyers representing the Drawn Together writers. To assume anything else would be inconceivable. . .
Actually, I think that Betty Boop might be much more relevant now than a few years ago, due to Drawn Together. The massive amount of Boop-themed material seems to be growing by the day in stores everywhere. There was already a niche market for Boop, but I think that DT may have sparked an interest for the younger generation (of which I am a part, I just happened to grow up in a house of Boop junkies) who would have otherwise not known of the questionable comedic value of the Boop.
