~~~~~ 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? ~~~~~ You get hints. You can get hints by watching advertisements or by paying real world cash. ~~~~~ Is there any objectionable material in Mini Crossword? ~~~~~ There isn't any objectionable material that we have found. After all, this is a word game. ~~~~~ Is Mini Crossword fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~ For those who enjoy crossword 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 stopped that. ~~~~~ 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.

~~~~~ What is Word Search? What kind of game is Word Search? ~~~~~ Word Search is a word scramble jumble type game.

When a correct word is found, those letters are removed and the blocks rearrange themselves. ~~~~~ Is Word Search “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? ~~~~~ We have not found any benefit for spending real world money, apart from supporting the developers. ~~~~~ Is there any objectionable material in Word Search? ~~~~~ There isn't any objectionable material that we have found.

Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~~ This game gives you the option to turn ads off. We must applaud that. ~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of this game? ~~~~~ Pros: As soothing background music. A good learning curve to the game. Clues make sense. No obscure or far-fetched clues when looking back at the puzzle. Lots of levels. Daily puzzles. Suitable for children, we would say 10+. Cons: We really could not find anything wrong with this game. ~~~~~ Do you recommend this game? ~~~~~ Absolutely! This game seems to have done everything right. If you are a word-smith, you absolutely must get this game.

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 02:09 Beast 04:12 Blackrock 06:08 Horde 08:31 Undead

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.

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.

~~~~~ 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.

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 = 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 Starting Sun = 950 / 750 / 500 +Timestamps 00:00 Level 1 - Difficulty 3 01:47 Level 2 - Difficulty 3 03:04 Level 3 - Difficulty 3 04:40 Level 4 - Difficulty 3 07:23 Level 5 - Difficulty 3

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.

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.

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.

~~~~~ 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.

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. This game continues the Diablo story and can be played on a normal desktop (which is how this video was recorded) or a mobile device. 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? Do you get anything for enduring them? 〰️〰️〰️ While there is the customary in-game offers for in-game items, I have not encountered any 3rd party advertising. 😊️ This is definitely a good thing. 〰️〰️〰️ What is the story in Diablo Immortal? 〰️〰️〰️ The events of Diablo Immortal takes place five (5) years after Diablo 2. 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.
