Gameplay

Plot

Flo and her friend Darla go on a vacation, but while boarding the ship, Flo's suitcase containing her clothes accidentally falls overboard thanks to the ship's crew members leaving in a fit of rage. As the pair eat at the on-board restaurant, a waiter slips, dropping his tray, only for Flo to catch it. Upon learning of how Flo was able to handle that tray, the manager of the ship asks for help from Flo and Darla to work with the ship's crew at the restaurant, promising to refund their tickets in return, as well as pay them for their services. Using the money from this offer, Flo plans to buy herself some new clothes on the on-board store. The vacation takes the pair through the cruise, riding the rails, exploring the deep, waiting tables in the sky, and into the reaches of space.
