~~~~~ 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.

This is the idle game "The Tower". This is a run at Tier 5.

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. +Timestamps 00:00 General Strategies 00:10 Alliance 02:40 Beast 04:57 Blackrock 06:54 Horde 08:31 Undead

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 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.

Knobsters is a game where the player rotates one knob 90 degrees clockwise. If a path can be made, the color of the receiving knob will change and that knob will be rotated and the cycle will continue until there are no more moves which can be made. This game has no advertisements. This game has no objectionable material. This game feels like a proof-of-concept project which was released. This game sorely could use a tutorial and simple levels so that the player can get a feel as to how to approach levels. Otherwise the player will just randomly turn knobs and hope for the best. Strategies like when to abandon a color and go to another one. Is there an ideal way to maximize knob turns? How should one approach a block where all the knobs are locked into themselves and not easily accessible from the rest of the group? This game has no background music. The background music is provided by https://ai-music-magic.audoir.com/ That said, there is potential here.

〰️〰️〰️ What is Diablo Immortal? 〰️〰️〰️ Diablo Immortal is a Free-to-Play Large Scale MMO (Massively Multi-player Online) Game created by Blizzard.

Accounts can be synchronized so progress in one form is carried onto the other. 〰️〰️〰️ What kind of game is Diablo Immortal? 〰️〰️〰️ Diablo Immortal is a “hack and slash” game which involves killing demons, beasts and other forms of adventuring dangers in the quest of doing good deeds, saving the world and of course, obtaining better loot. 〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo Immortal “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? 〰️〰️〰️ According to Blizzard, money payments can be applied to cosmetic appearances and to purchase materials. One can play the entire story without needing to spend real world cash. My experience is that while it would speed things up, spending cash is not necessary to enjoy the game. 〰️〰️〰️ Is there any objectionable material in Diablo Immortal? 〰️〰️〰️ As you would expect in a hack-and-slash game, there is lots of animated violence - typically blood, guts and gore. While female characters can show some cleavage, they are not overly sexualized or objectified. 〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo Immortal fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? 〰️〰️〰️ Blizzard typically makes their games a little easy on the front side and slowly ramps up the difficulty once one has spent some time with the game. This model appears to be used here as well. One should easily get to level 15 or 20 with no real difficulty. 〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo Immortal playable on a mobile device? 〰️〰️〰️ Blizzard says Diablo Immortal can be played on a mobile device. This game would not load in Bluestacks, an Android emulator for mobile devices, so we do not have direct experience on mobile game play. Based on the PC version, we do not see how one can reasonably enjoy playing Diablo Immortal on a mobile device. This game takes 27 Gigabytes of space on my PC. While I expect that number to be smaller for mobile devices, even one (1) gigabyte would tax many mobile devices. Secondly, the controls work well with a keyboard. If one has a portable controller, this would be helpful for playing this game on a mobile device. One needs to move the character and press a key which will activate the spell or action the character is to use. How this can be done without a controller and still be enjoyable, I simply do not see. 〰️〰️〰️ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they?

The story centers around a demon trying to collect shards of the Worldstone - which was destroyed in Diablo 2 - in order to do bad things. You - the hero - need to prevent this from happening. Blizzard is not known for writing engaging stories and this one certainly follows suit. 〰️〰️〰️ Is this a commitment game or a casual game? 〰️〰️〰️ Diablo Immortal is definitely a commitment game. While there are side quests and dungeons which can be done in fifteen (15) minutes or so, this game is meant as a primary game - to be played when one has significant downtime. 〰️〰️〰️ What is this video about? 〰️〰️〰️ Due to a quirk, we entered the game just before the Skeleton King boss in the Mad King's Breach dungeon. So why not take him out and get some quick and easy loot? 〰️〰️〰️ Anything else we should know? 〰️〰️〰️ Blizzard partners with NetEase to handle the micro-transactions and to handle the details of bringing the game into China.

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.

~~~~~ 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.

Farm Matching Animal Parking is a game where the player needs to clear out animal pens by guiding the animals by enticing them to move forwards or backwards. In essence, this is a parking lot game but with animals instead of vehicles. This game has no objectionable material. Well, at least that any reasonable person would find objectionable. What are the pros and cons of this game? Pros: Young children can play this game. We've encountered some mini-games which break the routine. Nothing difficult, but it is there. Cons: While the advertisements are not intrusive or mandatory, young children may activate viewing of ads "accidentally" when these windows pop up between levels. The game changes the color of the animals to increase the difficulty. While in of itself, this is not a con, the color changes are quite subtle and those individuals who have problems discerning shades - or are playing on a small screen - can get frustrated and may fail the level because of this. Distinct colors would be preferable. Even switching colors to make things more distinct. The game introduces a time-element in which one must clear the level. This can be frustrating. While so far the time has not been a factor, it can be on some of the longer levels, especially if one is distracted by real life. What's the bottom line? This is a not a bad change of pace game. It's a standard parking lot game. Children may have fun with the animals and some of their animations. But higher levels may be too difficult for children. Bottom line - this game is OK.
