Word Slicer - Play-through and Review - Levels 26 - 30 - June 2024
~~~~~ What is Word Slicer? What kind of game is Word Slicer? ~~~~~
Word Slicer is a word scramble jumble type game. The player is given a clue and a blocks of letters and the player is tasked with completing the words.
~~~~~ Is Word Slicer “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? ~~~~~
You get hints. You can get hints by watching advertisements or by paying real world cash.
~~~~~ Is there any objectionable material in Word Slicer? ~~~~~
There isn't any objectionable material that we have found. After all, this is a word game.
~~~~~ Is Word Slicer fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~
For those who enjoy jumble-style puzzles, this game can give you a nice dose without the commitment of larger puzzles.
As with any word puzzle games, challenging is a relative term. It all depends on your skill level and vocabulary.
Is this a grind? Only if you need to do multiples in a short time.
~~~~~ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~~
We have encountered mandatory advertisements. 😢️
Fortunately, these were skippable.
Putting the device in airplane mode stops that.
~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of this game? ~~~~~
Pros:
Small crossword puzzles.
Levels are short.
Hint system which can assist a word or solve the puzzle.
Cons:
No background music.
Limited sounds.
Unable to shuffle or move blocks around.
Some of the words are not found in a standard dictionary.
Some of the words do not make obvious sense in relation to the given clue.
Some of these puzzles require a large English vocabulary. While I would expect a difficulty increase at level 500, having uncommon words in the early levels detracts and is mildly depressive.
~~~~~ Do you recommend this game? ~~~~~
We would like to. In of itself, there is nothing majorly wrong with this game. Sure, it could use music and different background skins but those are not deal-breakers.
This game could do very well with children and teenagers if the game was geared towards their vocabulary level. Level 1's category was Medical Occupation. One of the answers is Pharmacist. While correct, this would frustrate a youngster who might be able to get the other clues. Mind you - this is level 1! Level 2 wasn't better.
The bottom line is that we just think this is a lost opportunity.

Warcraft Rumble - Heroic Missions - Map 15 Area 4 - Hezrul Bloodmark - June 2024
Heroic Missions are unlocked once the player has completed the requisite fifty (50) levels in adventure mode - through Tier 10 Map 5. In order to clear each Heroic Mission, each boss must be defeated by a leader from each faction. In other words, five (5) separate defeats. This is made more difficult as the mini levels for each boss is increased by ten (10), in addition to other unique effects that these bosses have. We show how to defeat each boss with each and every faction. When defeating a heroic boss, the player receives a major tome of the leader's faction.

Mini Crossword - Play-through and Review - Levels 31-35 - May 2024
~~~~~ What is Mini Crossword? What kind of game is Mini Crossword? ~~~~~
Mini Crossword is what it sounds like - a miniature crossword puzzle.
~~~~~ Is Mini Crossword “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? ~~~~~

~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of this game? ~~~~~
Pros:
Small crossword puzzles.
Levels are short.
Hint system which can eliminate letters, give a letter or solve the puzzle.
Cons:
No background music.
Limited sounds.
Can only solve the puzzle from the top down. Can not use process of elimination to solve the puzzle. Can only select letters once you have incorrectly submitted a solution.
Some of the words are not found in a standard dictionary.
~~~~~ Do you recommend this game? ~~~~~
While the lack of skins and music are not deal-breakers, we simply find the lack of solving the puzzle your way instead of the forced method to be a deal breaker.
We have a policy here of not using hints or power ups to clear a level. We want to show that the games and puzzles have solutions. When we need to use a hint on a puzzle game because we could not solve it - even with online dictionary assistance - we just do not think this game will be enjoyable to anyone outside of the dedicated crossword puzzle crowd.

Jewel Charms and Clones - Levels 66 to 70 - June 2024
Jewel Charms and clones like this are a Match-3 game. Players make matches of three (3) or more to complete objectives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ How does this differ from the other Match 3 games out there?
The graphics are pretty. Combos of 4 or more give power ups. There are other variants that make this game interesting.
Jewel Charms and its clones appear to be more of a campaign type game with options - free, advertising and real money. We will progress through this game as needed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any objectionable material?
As with many games, there is an attractive woman who guides you. While not objectionable in itself, there are some individuals who would not appreciate the reinforcing of negative female stereotypes.
We have discovered that Jewel Planet and its clones are indeed the same game with very minor differences. It appears that one copied/stole the game from the original author, re-branded the game and have released it under their banner. We find this practice disgusting; and we do not know who the original author is.
We've actually found four (4) games under the "Jewel" name.
All these games can be found in the Google Play store so Google hasn't discovered any is clone of the other.

Boomland - Play-through and Review - Levels 26 - 30 - June 2024
~~~~~ What is Boomland? What kind of game is Boomland? ~~~~~
Boomland is a destruction game along the lines of Angry Birds. Unlike Angry Birds where the player launches birds using a giant sling, the player places explosives in strategic places and attempts to do as much damage as possible.
~~~~~ Is Boomland “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? ~~~~~
We have not found any money transactions in this game.
~~~~~ Is there any objectionable material in Boomland? ~~~~~
If the player is comfortable with the idea of blowing stuff up, then nothing else in the game will be objectionable.
~~~~~ Is Boomland fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~
There are times when someone will have the desire to blow stuff up. There are times when someone wants a different kind of game to play. Boomland fits that description.
Boomland can be challenging although we have found this game more frustrating than challenging. We do not mind learning and experimenting to clear a level. However when one is failing dozens of times, we believe the game may be too frustrating. When we are failing dozens of times, we believe that the level is too difficult.
~~~~~ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~~
We have not encountered any in-game advertisements.
We applaud this game for that feature.
~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of this game? ~~~~~
Pros:
A simple game to pick up and understand.
The player gets to blow stuff up - sometimes sky high.
Has background music.
Cons:
Very difficult game, especially in the early levels.
While this game has a 3 level tutorial, this game could use a longer one to learn the nuances of the game.
~~~~~ Do you recommend this game? ~~~~~
If one played Angry Birds and got frustrated because one could not get the birds to do what was desired, this game eliminates some of that frustration.
If one enjoys destruction-type games, this one will suffice.
As far as children goes, we will leave that up to the parents. While we have found nothing beyond the obvious, it is that obvious that some parents may object to the idea of blowing stuff up.

Traffic Jam Cars Puzzle Legend - Level 61 through Level 65 - June 2024
Traffic Jam Cars Puzzle Legend is a combination Match 3 game with a nice dash of Parking Lot games where the player needs to clear the cars from a full and mixed up parking lot.
How difficult is this game?
So far, this appears to be a game meant for the majority of people. We've not encountered any serious difficulties. But then, we are still in the adventure / extended tutorial stage.
This game does ramp up the difficulty level.
What about advertising?
Sadly, these appear. But that's the sad reality these days. Not many people want to do micro-transactions and a game like this appears to be more filler than a commitment game.
Any objectionable material?
The Policewoman and the Nurse are attractive and portrayed in an appealing manner. They are not depicted as showing any skin or in any sexual manner; however some may view their depiction in a negative light or reinforcing negative female stereotypes.
What are the Pros and Cons?
Pros:
A nice twist on Match 3 games, adding a parking car element to the game.
Nice power-ups.
Decent challenges.
Cons:
Levels get a little challenging a little too quick. Should not be a problem for adults but children could get frustrated.
Music can get repetitive.
Too many requests for purchases.
Bottom line:
If you are a fan of puzzle games, this is a nice one to add to your collection.

Cooking Kawaii - Level 16 to Level 20 - June 2024
~~~~~ What is Cooking Kawaii? ~~~~~
Cooking Kawaii is a time management cooking game with a sushi bar theme.
~~~~~ Is Cooking Kawaii Pay to Win? What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~
We've not encountered any mandatory ads.
Watching advertisements will give the player temporary perks or in-game currency which can be used to upgrade the kitchen. This in turn will make levels easier.
So far, we've not encountered any pay-to-win feel to the game.
~~~~~ Is There Any Objectionable Material in this game? ~~~~~
We have not found any objectionable material in this game. Although these days, we are sure someone somewhere may be offended by the use of a knife or the diversity aspects of the customers.
~~~~~ Is Cooking Kawaii fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~
After 15 levels, we are just beginning to get a feel for the game. We feel the challenging aspects are yet to come.
Is this game a grind? Since this is a level-based game, the grind would come if levels needed to be repeated in order to obtain enough in-game currency to make necessary purchases.
~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of Cooking Kawaii? ~~~~~
Pros:
Decent graphics.
Children can learn the benefits of efficiency.
Decent pace to the game.
Cons:
Game feels like it can get repetitive over time. While all games suffer from that trait, we feel that may start soon..
Bottom Line:
We've seen better games and we've seen worse games. Watch the videos and make your own determination.

Plants vs Zombies 2 - Penny's Pursuit - Seedium Showcase - Reinforce-Mint - June 2024
Reinforce-Mint - was offered between June 2, 2024 through June 9, 2024.
Reinforce-Mint is a member of the Reinforce-Mint family.
Reinforce-Mint costs 125 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 3, 7 and 10.)
When a zombie reaches Reinforce-Mint, it will explode encasing the zombie in sticky bubble gum.
This Reinforce-Mint prison has 8,000 hit points. (+1,000 per level. An additional 3,000 at level 10.)
The trapped zombie will block all zombies behind it, effectively stopping the zombie advance.
When given plant food, Reinforce-Mint will blow a bubble. This bubble will explode encasing five (5) zombies, prioritizing “dangerous” zombies. (+1 zombie on levels 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10.)
This effect is repeated for each Reinforce-Mint on the lawn when Reinforce-Mint is planted.
Commentary:
One would be hard-pressed to name a better stalling plant than Reinforce-Mint. Stopping all zombies in a lane and being able to absorb punishment like Tall-nut makes this plant a great staller.
Bottom Line:
As good as this plant is at stalling zombies, it will never eliminate a zombie. Eventually, the zombies will eat through Reinforce-Mint's bubblegum prison and continue their advance.
However, on levels where surviving the level is the goal versus eliminating all zombies, Reinforce-Mint is an excellent choice.
Reinforce-Mint is worth considering where one needs time to complete a Penny's Pursuit objective or to set up defense.
Level 1 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 2 of 2.
Survive for 3 minutes.
Chosen Perk is Sun Break. Sun drops from sky.
Score more than 2,500,000 / 4,500,000 / 8,000,000
Defeat Z-Mech not offered / 2 / 3 times.
Starting Sun = 1,500 / 1,300 / 1,050
Level 2 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 1 of 2
Survive the zombie attack.
Chosen Perk is JALAPEÑO. 🌶️🌶️
Survive and protect the endangered plants - Starburst on column 6
There are precious flowers on the lawn which can not be trampled - not offered / 2 & 3 / 3 & 4
Level 3 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 1 of 2
Survive for 3 minutes - Last Stand Style.
Chosen Perk is Score Multiplier
Score to beat = 4,500,000 / 7,000,000 / 20,000,000
Defeat not offered / 300 / 600 zombies in not offered / 180 / 180 seconds.
Starting Sun = 7,700 / 7,500 / 7,250
It is quite difficult to eliminate 600 zombies when barely 300 appear, especially when the score is more than doubled.
Level 4 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 0 of 2
Survive the zombie attack.
Chosen Perk is JALAPEÑO. 🌶️🌶️
Stall zombies not offered / 100 / 100 times.
There are precious flowers on the lawn which can not be trampled - 2 & 3 / 3 & 4 / 4 & 5
We can live with failing some bonus objectives, but we find an early sandstorm zombies pushed over the trample line to be slightly unfair.
Level 5 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 2 of 2
Survive for 2.7 minutes - Last Stand style
Chosen Perk is Score Multiplier
Score to beat = 4,500,000 / 7,500,000 / 20,000,000
Ash zombies not offered / 100 / 100 times

Plants vs Zombies 2 - Zomboss - Seedium Showcase - Reinforce-Mint - June 2024
Reinforce-Mint - was offered between June 8, 2024 through June 15, 2024.
Reinforce-Mint is a mint and consists of the following plants:
• Aloe
• Bean Sprout
• Blockoli
• Chard Guard
• Endurian
• Reinforce-Mint
• Holly Barrier
• Infi-nut
• Pea-nut
• Primal Wall-nut
• Pumpkin
• Sweet Potato
• Tall-nut
• Wall-nut
When planted, Reinforce-Mint knocks back all zombies 1.4 tiles and activates all plant food effects for all Reinforce-Mint plants on the lawn.
Commentary:
While the knockback of all zombies isn't all that spectacular - Spring Bean's plant food effect does that - it is the activating of all Reinforce-Mint plants is interesting.
That said, these are all defensive plants - apart from Pea-Nut. However, on a level where defensive is more important than eliminating zombies, this is good plant.
Bottom Line:
It isn't the most useful mint.
It isn't the most pretty mint.
It's not even the most effective mint.
But it's not a bad mint to have. So obtain and level this mint if you can.
Perks = Jalapeño / Hypnotize zombies / Boss Buster (Damages Zomboss)
+Timestamps
00:00 | Difficulty 3 = Sling Pea + Blastberry Vine + Guard-shroom
01:38 | Difficulty 3 = Dandelion + Pokra
03:44 | Difficulty 3 = Bowling Bulb + Arma-Mint + Guard-shroom - Did not record.
Level 1 Objective - Remove three (3) health bars in three (3) minutes.
Reward is 10 Reinforce-Mint seeds.
Players start with 1,750 Sun.
Level 2 Objective - Remove five (5) health bars in three (3) minutes.
Reward is 15 Reinforce-Mint seeds.
Players start with 1,750 Sun.
Level 3 Objective - Remove seven (7) health bars in three (3) minutes.
Reward is 20 Reinforce-Mint seeds.
Players start with 1,750 Sun.
We do not get a preview of Penny's Pursuit before it is released. So what you see is what players get.
We also try to vary the strategies from week to week and showcasing different plants and strategies and ideas. Using the same strategy week after week would be boring to see.
As always, if you appreciate these videos, learned something from them, please subscribe. This incentives me to continue making these videos.

Warcraft Rumble - Blackfathom Deeps - Emperor Thaurissan - Blackrock Dungeon - June 2024
The Blackrock Dungeon was offered between June 9, 2024 through June 15, 2024.
This video shows the completion of the Blackrock Dungeon for June 2024. Each dungeon lasts one (1) week and consists of three (3) levels which must be completed as a gauntlet. No swapping of leaders or troops is allowed and must be completed by a leader of the faction of the week. Completing the dungeon allows for Army Upgrades which allows certain minis in certain spots to gain up to three (3) levels.
Warcraft Rumble was released on November 3, 2023. Based on the World of Warcraft cast of characters, Warcraft Rumble is a miniature 4X game where each round lasts no more than four (4) minutes.
This game is designed to be played on a mobile device and does require an internet connection, although it does run quite well in an emulated mode on a personal computer.
Bucking the trend of most mobile games, Warcraft Rumble has NO ADVERTISING! We appreciate this trend by Blizzard. That said, they do have a store for micro-transactions. After all, the bills need to be paid somehow. We'd rather have a store than the constant barrage of annoying, intrusive and data-sucking advertisements.

Adventure Ages - From Tier 12.9 to 13.4 - June 2024
Adventure Ages is the 3rd idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. The first was Adventure Capitalist and the second being Adventure Communist. This game takes the idle clicker concept of resource management and puts a story about fixing the space-time continuum.
This video shows the progression of the game from the tiers listed above. We went about as far as we could go before the grind starts to take over.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.
Adventure Communist - From Tier 13.8 to Tier 14.7 - June 2024
Adventure Communist is the 2nd idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. The first was Adventure Capitalist. This game takes the idle clicker concept of making as much money as possible and puts a communist twist as well as add a few features.
This video shows Tier 13.8 until Tier 14.7. Collected a bunch of stuff. Collected some rewards. Did a few objectives, until the grind started to set in.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.
Adventure Capitalist - Lunar Adventure - From 143 million to 246 billion Investor Angels - June 2024
Adventure Capitalist is the 1st idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. This game takes the idle clicker concept with the goal of making as much money as possible.
When one accumulates $100,000,000,000,000, one unlocks the Moon. The game then gives you a second option to continue making money - on Earth as well as the Moon. So you now have two (2) empires to manage.
This video shows the growth from 143 million to 246 billion Angels of the Moon phase of this game until the grind started to take over.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.

Sounds annoying but with this boost, you catch up real quick. You can start to see it here, especially if you compare this to the original start of the game.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.

Cooking Quest VIP - Daily Quest - Level 24 to Level 25 - June 2024
~~~~~ What is Cooking Quest? ~~~~~
Cooking Quest takes place in your typical medieval world where all recipes (cooking) has been lost. The player is then embarked on a quest to rediscover cooking and spread this around the world, getting rich in the process.
In the process, you hire heroes to gather ingredients and hire cooks to do the actual cooking while the player sells the delicious meals.
~~~~~ Is Cooking Quest Pay to Win? What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~
So far, we've encountered only one mandatory ad, mostly as a quest to show how it can be done. We suspect that watching these ads and/or paying money will speed things up and that one can play the full game as a free-to-play player.
~~~~~ Is There Any Objectionable Material in this game? ~~~~~
Heroes do defeat monsters using swords. This content is not central to the game and even watching this, this feels cartoony, seeing how the monsters are sugar cubes.
We do not feel that this is a reason to not play this game.
~~~~~ Is Cooking Quest fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~
After 30 minutes, we feel we are just starting to learn the game. We like the idea of cooking being the main theme of a long quest game instead of just killing random monsters.
We have not found this game to be challenging - yet. We suspect that may come later on.
We have not found this game to be a grind - yet. We suspect the cooking time to increase and the ingredient count per dish to increase making this game more of a grind.
~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of Cooking Quest? ~~~~~
Pros:
Different type of Explore-the-World adventure game.
Graphics reminiscent of early console games.
Feels like an old school computer game instead of an app.
Cons:
Cloud save preferred.
Can get a bit boring.
Lots of clicking.
Bottom Line:
This game will interest players who want a more deep experience than a match 3, jigsaw puzzle or Tetris-type of game. School-aged children can pick this game up and include it in their collection of games.

Warcraft Rumble - Heroic Missions - Map 14 Area 5 - Baron Revilgaz - June 2024
Heroic Missions are unlocked once the player has completed the requisite fifty (50) levels in adventure mode - through Tier 10 Map 5. In order to clear each Heroic Mission, each boss must be defeated by a leader from each faction. In other words, five (5) separate defeats. This is made more difficult as the mini levels for each boss is increased by ten (10), in addition to other unique effects that these bosses have. We show how to defeat each boss with each and every faction. When defeating a heroic boss, the player receives a major tome of the leader's faction.

Adventure Ages - From Tier 12.2 to 12.9 - June 2024
Adventure Ages is the 3rd idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. The first was Adventure Capitalist and the second being Adventure Communist. This game takes the idle clicker concept of resource management and puts a story about fixing the space-time continuum.
This video shows the progression of the game from the tiers listed above. We went about as far as we could go before the grind starts to take over.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.
Adventure Communist - From Tier 13.3 to Tier 13.8 - June 2024
Adventure Communist is the 2nd idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. The first was Adventure Capitalist. This game takes the idle clicker concept of making as much money as possible and puts a communist twist as well as add a few features.
This video shows Tier 13.3 until Tier 13.8. Collected a bunch of stuff. Collected some rewards. Did a few objectives, until the grind started to set in.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.
