Sentence 12+

I downloaded this game once a while back and I didn’t enjoy it very much, I thought it was slow and the actual game itself was too simple. I redownloaded it recently not realizing it was the same game and this time around I really enjoy it. I’m not very far into it yet but the only thing I’m not really fond of is the way of gaining stars. I don’t mind the way of playing the folder multiple times gives you a star each time and it’s not dependent on how many moves remain. But what I don’t enjoy too much is the actual like connect the dots game on how you gain stars. I don’t know if maybe there are different ones the further into the game you get but I fear if it’s just the little color matching game the entire way through I’ll get bored quickly. And I enjoy the storyline too much to just give up. But I really hope there’s more types of mini games to gain stars later on.

I waited a long time to write a review and I usually don’t review games. This game has an amazing concept. Love the story line- I don’t even mind the mini games yet- however they are very hard. I have been stuck on level 23 for a while and still need another star to progress. A few suggestions - have daily deals on coins half off or small packs like unlimited lives for 2 hours plus 50 gold and a few boosts for 5 bucks etc. it would make all the difference. I also obviously haven’t beaten the game yet but i did see from someone else that after you complete this story, there is no more. I am very sad about that. If developers chose to add another story- please restart the levels as they get so hard it would be impossible to continue.
I also wouldn’t mind the mini games being a bit more game related. Like maybe connect the colored squares to find clues in a crime scene picture, or just show us a picture and have us solve the crime based off of it etc. I really love the concept of this game but really would like a little more.

When quarantine started I began looking for alternatives to pass the time. I’ve always loved true crime & figured that I’d try out a few of these types of games but this one is about 80% mini games and 20% plot. The minigames increase in difficulty the farther along you are (I’m at level 80) to a point that you’re tempted to spend the money for additional moves or more lives, luckily I’m patient enough to wait it out & eventually end up moving on without any purchases. However, I’m now at the point where I’m about to scrap the game. The plot is no longer compelling and it seems like things are added to just to take up space. You also waste time playing these minigames to be rewarded with a 30 second text exchange that’s not relevant.
Also to note is that you’re not actually solving anything, your merely tapping a prewritten response (or choosing between 2) & literally just playing minigames while the story unfolds. I’ve tried out a couple other of these types of games throughout the pandemic & this is by far the least enjoyable for me.
