~~~~~ What is Connect? ~~~~~ Connect is a tile match puzzle game where the player removes like tiles that are adjacent to each other or can be reached by drawing an unobstructed path between the tiles. ~~~~~ Is Connect Pay to Win? 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 advertising or payment structure in this game. Games without those features are few and far between and we celebrate those games. One can pay $0.99 to remove the banner ads. One can pay $0.99 to unlock all tile skins. ~~~~~ Is There Any Objectionable Material in this game? ~~~~~ We're sure someone somewhere can find something objectionable with this game. We just can't find anything remotely objectionable. ~~~~~ Is Connect fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~ Connect is a good “change of pace” type of game. This is a game where can you play when you have a few minutes to kill. We wouldn't use the word “challenging”; but this game can get frustrating. We wouldn't use the word “grind”; but this game can get repetitive. ~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of Connect? ~~~~~ Pros: Easy to play. Young children can play this game. Simple mechanics. Generous number of reshuffles granted - eight (8). At most, only two (2) shuffles are needed to clear a level. Cons: No soothing background music. No music at all. Only two (2) tile skins are given. One can watch an advertisement to unlock another tile skin or pay $0.99 to unlock all skins. Bottom Line: This game could use some music. Apart from that, this is a great game to let young children play and add to their library.

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.

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

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 beginning of the Musical Mischief mini-event to tier 6.0. 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 the Stone State until tier 4.3. 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.

What is Water Sort 2023? Water Sort 2023 is a puzzle game where the player needs to combine colored liquids (or balls) until the entire test tube (or bottle) is completely filled up. Review of the game? This is your typical Water/Ball sorting game. The graphics are OK. The music is OK. There are times though when the colors tend to be too close which can cause confusion. We would prefer more contrast so these near shades are not mistaken for the other. What about advertisements? When connected to the Internet, an advertisement will appear every 3 or so levels. This game uses a cloud save feature over local storage. So if you enter airplane mode to play, remember to connect before you close out the game to keep your progress. Any objectionable material? We have not found any objectionable material in this game. We haven't even found anything remotely close to objectionable.

~~~~~ 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. 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.

〰️〰️〰️ What is Defense Grid? What kind of game is Defense Grid? 〰️〰️〰️ Defense Grid is a “tower defense” game where you need to protect power cores from an invading insect army. More information can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Grid:_The_Awakening 〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? 〰️〰️〰️ Unlike many games today, this game is not supported by advertising. One purchases the game and can play the game - in this case on Steam - for as long as desired. While each player will try different strategies and tower setups, the experience otherwise is the same. 〰️〰️〰️ Is there any objectionable material in Defense Grid? 〰️〰️〰️ I'm sure someone somewhere may object to the massacre of insects or the transfer of a personality into a computer or some other far fetched idea. But for most otherwise normal people, there is no objectionable material in this game. 〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? 〰️〰️〰️ Defense Grid will appeal to those players who prefer a more tactical and strategic kind of game. Defense Grid can be challenging. Some achievements can be frustrating to obtain but the story mode is not going to frustrate many players. Being a purchased game, there is no incentive to create levels or make current levels longer just to keep players in the game. As such, there is no grind in this game. 〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid playable on a mobile device? 〰️〰️〰️ Defense Grid is made for the Personal Computer and some gaming consoles. While it may be possible to play Defense Grid in an emulated environment on a mobile device, this game is not designed as such. 〰️〰️〰️ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? 〰️〰️〰️ As Defense Grid is a game one purchases, there is no need for in-game advertisements. 〰️〰️〰️ What is the story in Defense Grid? 〰️〰️〰️ The story is based on alien invasion of a planet that has a dormant defense grid. As the player is re-activating the defense system with the assistance of a computer to control the machinery and with only limited resources, the aliens attempt to steal power cores. Power cores are "tiny floating orbs" that provide vital power to the defense grid. Cores are carried by aliens, and when the aliens carrying them die, the cores are dropped, and will slowly float back to their central holder. Once all power cores have been taken from the level, the game is over. Only one power core needs to remain when the last wave of aliens are defeated to complete a level. 〰️〰️〰️ Is this a commitment game or a casual game? 〰️〰️〰️ As with any game one purchases, there is a commitment factor to it. After all, why pay for a game and not play it? That said, Defense Grid is more a casual game with levels lasting no more than 10-15 minutes. 〰️〰️〰️ What is this video about? 〰️〰️〰️ This video captures the story mode difficulty of the Awakening Story line. The Awakening story line is more a tutorial with more challenging levels played later. 〰️〰️〰️ Anything else we should know? 〰️〰️〰️ Defense Grid is a nice casual tower defense game. If you are a fan of Tower Defense games, give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed.

Pirate Seas Skirmish was offered between April 22, 2024 through May 6, 2024. These eight (8) levels are more difficult than the original Pirate Seas levels and is intended for those players with leveled up plants. Completing these eight (8) levels awards the player 25 Gems. The plants used are the Core plants + the three (3) most recently released seedium plants: • Bud'uh Boom • Ice-shroom • Dragon Bruit If you do not have these plants, please visit my walk-through of these levels with CORE PLANTS ONLY: https://rumble.com/vywapp-plants-vs-zombies-2-epic-adventure-quest-pirate-seas-skirmish-marchapril-20.html As always, if you appreciate these videos, learned something from them, please subscribe. This incentives me to continue making these videos. +Timestamps 00:00 Level 28 - Day 1 of 8 - Spend no more than 2,000 Sun / Never have more than 15 plants. 01:43 Level 29 - Day 2 of 8 - Locked and Loaded level / Defeat 20 zombies in 8 seconds. 04:42 Level 30 - Day 3 of 8 - Normal Adventure Level - Player Choice 06:26 Level 31 - Day 4 of 8 - Last Stand - 1,850 Sun / No Trample line between columns 4 & 5.

Block Blast is a game reminiscent of old 8-bit console games where the player needs to slide a block on a rising stack of blocks over its color. Once there is a match, then the entire row disappears. This goes on until the top block reaches the top of the screen. This is one of those situations where the descriptions which will make sense once you see the video. This game has no advertisements. This game has no objectionable material. This game feels like a proof-of-concept project which was released. Probably one of those code-camp challenges and the author just released it because the author could. A tutorial or instruction screen would be nice but not really needed as you can figure out the game fairly quickly. So what's the bottom line? As a code challenge, this game passes. The game works. This game has music. This game has no bugs that we were able to see. As a game though, this game will get boring very quickly. How could the game be made better? We are not sure. Making the block rise faster doesn't make the game challenging. That just makes it difficult and frustrating.

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 01:29 Beast 03:22 Blackrock 05:09 Horde 07:44 Undead

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

What does this video show? This video shows Word Connect for the levels listed in the title. What is Word Connect Pro? Word Connect Pro is a Cross-word lite game where a group of letters are given and the player needs to fill the puzzle using only those letters given. How to play The player drags the pointer across the letters to make a combination. If this combination is a word, the player will be rewarded. Review of the game? The music is relaxing. The concept is fine. This game is good for those people where English is their primary language. Some of these words may not be known to non-native English speakers. However the word list leaves much to be desired: Some words are not known to the game - like MAGE. Some words are known but their plural is not - GAME is acceptable and GAMES is not. Some words are accepted in some levels but not in others. The game considers SAGEM, GPS and DIY as words. They are not. (Sagem is the name of a French company and GPS is an acronym while DIY is shorthand for Do It Yourself.) So this game needs to reconsider its dictionary file. We used a Scrabble dictionary to find words which stumped us - and still got stumped. What about advertisements? When connected to the Internet, an advertisement will appear every 3 or so levels. This game uses a cloud save feature over local storage. So if you enter airplane mode to play, remember to connect before you close out the game to keep your progress. Any objectionable material? You have to really go deep to find anything objectionable in a word sorting game. Words like SHIFT can be rearranged to have a naughty word shown. While the word is not counted as an acceptable word, or even a bonus word, some parents would be bothered if their young child accidentally saw it. So what is the bottom line? Is this a worthwhile game? As word puzzle games go, this is not a bad game - but with the aforementioned caveats. Just be warned that this game may frustrate you at times.

Ultomato - was offered between April 21, 2024 through April 28, 2024. Ultomato is a member of the Fila-Mint family. Ultomato costs 250 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 2, 5, 8 and 10). Ultomato can be planted on itself up to three (3) times. Ultomato's cost increases based on the number of Ultomatos previously planted. In its small state, Ultomato does 350 damage. (+25 damage per level). In its medium state, Ultomato does 750 damage. (+50 damage per level). In its large state, Ultomato does 1,600 damage. (+100 damage per level). When given plant food, Ultomato explodes dealing 1,800 damage to all zombies in a 9*7 area - basically the entire lawn. Commentary: Ultomato's damage is classified as “pass-through” damage. What this means is that not one damage is “wasted”. Contrast this with Citron. This plant does a lot of damage but dealing lots of damage to an almost defeated zombie feels like a waste. Ultomato's damaging beam will continue onto the next zombie once a zombie is defeated. Bottom Line: We want to love Ultomato. We really want to play with this plant as it is interesting. Sadly though, this plants costs a lot of Sun. With this allotment of Sun, we expect big damage. We just find that this is not the case. We've seen stage 3 Ultomatos, which deal 2,000 damage per beam, barely scratch a buckethead zombie. If that happens on one lane, imagine the Sun costs for the others. Imagine how even a few zombies are going to cause chaos if a single zombie can render a plant ineffective. We love Ultomato but find ourselves using Bloomerang or Laser Bean instead. Both are much cheaper and minimize that “wasted damage” effect. Level 1 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 2 of 2 Survive the zombie attack - Last Stand style. Chosen Perk is Sun Bank. Extra Sun at the start. Defeat not offered / 20 / 25 zombies in not offered / 20 / 10 seconds. Protect the endangered plant: Imp Pear on R3C5 Starting Sun = 2,700 / 2,500 / 2,250 Level 2 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Bonus 1 of 2 Survive for 3 minutes. Chosen Perk is SHIELDS. There are precious flowers on the lawn which can not be trampled - 2 & 3 / 3 & 4 / 4 & 5 Never have more than not offered / 18 / 15 plants. Level 3 - Difficulty 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - FAIL Survive the zombie attack - Last Stand style. Chosen Perk is Shrink Zombies Do not lose more than not offered / 3 / 0 plants. Chill zombies 100 / 100 / 100 times.

Level 3 Objective - Remove nine (9) health bars in three (3) minutes. Reward is 20 Ultomato seeds. Players start with 850 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.

Horde Dungeon was offered between April 21, 2024 through April 28, 2024. This video shows the completion of the Horde Dungeon for April 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.

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

35 Sea-shroom seeds are awarded for completing this event consisting of five (5) levels. Plant of the Week - Sea-shroom - was offered between April 20, 2024 through April 27, 2024. Sea-shroom is a member of the Ail-Mint family. Sea-shroom costs 0 Sun. Sea-shroom does 20 damage. Sea-shroom can only be planted on water tiles. Sea-shroom lasts 60 seconds. The timer will be reset upon giving her plant food. When Sea-shroom is given plant food, ALL Sea-shrooms get the plant food effect. If Low tide occurs and Sea-shroom finds herself on dry land, she will be instantly defeated. Commentary: This is basically the water-equivalent of Puff-shroom. With the puddle effect now being introduced into the game, plants from Big Wave Beach now have a chance to be played more. Bottom Line: It's tough to criticize a plant which costs 0 Sun. That said, realize what this plant is - an early plant meant to eliminate a zombie or two before expiring. By then, the player should have gathered enough resources to mount a more permanent defense. +Timestamps 00:00 Level 1 01:06 Level 2 02:20 Level 3 03:46 Level 4 05:15 Level 5

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. 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.

It appears that one copied/stole the game from the original author, re-branded the game and have released it under their banner.

This is the idle game "The Tower". This is a run at Tier 4.

~~~~~ 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. One can “pre-prep” the base of the food items before the customer order is given. We are not sure if this is intended or not. This feels like cheating. While we know fast food restaurants will do this during busy times, this feels weird doing it in game. Bottom Line: We've seen better games and we've seen worse games. Watch the videos and make your own determination.

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 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. Bottom line - this game is OK.

Heroic Missions are unlocked once the player has completed the requisite fifty (50) levels in adventure mode - through Tier 10 Map 5.
