Betty Boop's Double Shift is a puzzle game, developed and published by DSI Games. The game is based on the popular Betty Boop cartoon series.
The gameplay is similar to the Diner Dash formula.

After a while, however, Betty Boop's Double Shift changes gears, and becomes a game more akin to Elite Beat Agents . Betty gets called to the front of the diner to sing a song, and the player must tap the stylus on the buttons that correspond to the note she sings. [1]
