Only One Qualm
Game was ok. Graphics were ok too. I'm just glad they didn't use the traditional chinese characters for tiles 'cause those are hard to differentiate!!
My only qualms with the game is when you match a clue or suspect tile, the information pops up with every single match you make. I'd be happier if there was an option to uncheck that setting, but none are offered. I prefer to finish pairing up all the tiles in a few different locations, then looking through all the information I have and deciding on the perp, instead of reading information as I go along 'cause it's not like I'm going to be memorizing everything that pops up while playing!
Overall, a good game. The mahjong part gets a little tiring after a while, but if you're like me and enjoy solving whodunnits... you'll endure the tile matching just to solve the crime. :)) |

Intriguing Storyline
I wasn't going to try this game out because the reviews reported that it was only so-so, and I too am getting a little bored of normal Hidden Object games.
However, due to extreme boredom I decided to try it out anyway.
The storyline is intriguing, if not very sad. I think what kept me going level after level was the urge to know the end of the story. This is one of the few games where I actually bothered to read and keep up with the storyline.
I agree that sometimes it was difficult to know what object we were looking for for the minigames, but after a while those broken items seem to stick out like a sore thumb... because they're broken pieces and everything else on screen is whole. For example, they require you to find a spyglass, but the spyglass is in 3 different pieces, and you'll see three different weird looking things on screen... those are the parts of the item that you are looking for. Not very hard to discern after a while.
Additionally there are interesting facts and information about the Titanic and it's sinking before you start every level.
All in all, it's an ok Hidden Object game, with the storyline being the glue that held it together. |

Brings Back Great Memories of the Good Ol' Days
I don't care what anyone says about this game.... I LOVE IT. It brings back such great memories of the first few computer games I played such as Montezuma's Revenge and Lode Runner. I wish more computer game designers would continue creating games that remind us of pioneer computer games. Simple, yet addictive and fun. I don't need nor appreciate 3D fantastic graphics, complicated story lines and missions, or a million keys to control and navigate.
I say you can never go wrong with clean, simple, good fun.
I don't have anything bad to say about this game because I absolutely love these old school type platform games. Everything was perfect. The size of the character, the humor involved, the missions, the goals, the playability, the length of the game (although I would not complain if they extended the length of the game *wink*).
Excellent game. I will forever buy games like these. A+++++. |

Need More Games Like This On Reflexive
Absolutely fantastic game. Well thought out storyline, graphics are great, easy enough to play without it being too challenging or too easy. You can tell by the quality of the game that the developers spent a lot of time and effort to create a high quality game. I wish there were more games like this available on Reflexive. |

Could Have Been a Success
When you're someone that has finished playing Diner Dash and similar games, and have run out of these click and serve games to play, you become a beggar who can't choose. :p
It would have been nice if a hiring upgrade was offered. I could've used an assistant to clean up the fitting room, or to man the customer service desk, or even a cashier so you don't have to do everything by yourself. Since when do you have only one person working in a retail clothing store all by herself anyway? You have at least a few people working at the same time. Also, the customers get impatient waaaaay to quickly. It was also dissapointing that you could not replay a level that you did not score an "expert" on. Lastly, I wish there was more space for the clothes on tables instead of 2 or 3 items per table.
Oh, it was also really weird how the customers would get impatient from the minute they walked in the door regardless of whether you served them or not. For example, a customer would go in the fitting room with only a little bit of "heart" (patience level) remaining, and when they came out of the fitting room, they would explode in anger and disappear (i.e. leave the store), meaning that while they are trying on clothes ("being served"), their patience level would still drop!! It was quite annoying for me when they would come out of the fitting room and explode in a fit and "disappear" or "leave the store" even when they were served. Sheesh! There's just no pleasing some people. ;)
On the positive end, it was nice that there was a wide variety of customers, each different with their own "personalities", needs, likes and dislikes. The trendy girls were the most annoying 'cause they required customer desk service and fitting room service. No wait... maybe the models were the most annoying 'cause they'd require fitting room service three times per time they went in.
This game could've been a smashing success if some elements were added, some removed, and some changed. |
