Shopping Clutter 2: Christmas Square

This game was fun for several hours, but then it became increasingly infuriating and, eventually, impossibly difficult. It should be noted that people who are colorblind, people who cannot see minute differences in color shade or contrast, people who do not have excellent eyesight, and people who do not have instantaneous pattern matching ability will not be able to play this game. This game has 20 "episodes" (sections), with each episode having 7 matching "puzzles" (hidden object style) and one non-matching "puzzle". All matching puzzles use the same set of objects and are time-limited; the differences in the puzzles are the rule set by which you must find matches, the starting location of the objects, and the time limit. The non-matching puzzles vary by episode, but are either sliding puzzles or tile-matching memory puzzles, and do not have a time limit. The 7 matching puzzles in each episode have a time limit, using one of two methods. The first, most common, method is a fixed...

I got this bundled with Alicia Quartermain in some Steam Christmas bundle. So I think it cost me like a quarter. For the price, I have to give it thumbs up. It's an arcade game where you match objects. I admit that the game isn't properly balanced; some levels you will be done with 5 minutes to spare, and sometimes you'll have to skip a level as it's just insane. For example, sometimes you are given 10 minutes and have to find anything that's a circle-- which is everything; other times, you have 30 seconds to find a single purple emoticon hidden under everything else.

It's an ok game, but will be hard for younger players and people who have trouble concentrating (especially when the objects move). Pros: - You can pause levels. - You can bring up the instructions at any time. - At the end of each set of levels there is a jigsaw type puzzle to complete, with varying rules and images. Cons: - There is a time limit, which prevents the game from being relaxing. - There doesn't appear to be a zen mode. - You cannot clear all objects on every level, meaning that it lacks the satisfaction of a hidden object puzzle. - It's not entirely clear how you complete a level. Sometimes the time runs out, but other times you have plenty of time left and plenty of matches left on the board but the level ends abruptly. - There are jack-o-lanterns? Which doesn't fit the Christmas theme. - Many levels have different coloured items which must be matched. Some of these colours are very similar and would be very difficult for someone with colour blindness. - Most levels ha...

Its a casual, point-and-click, timed puzzle game with Christmas theme. Has 20 episodes with 7 point-and-click hidden object (time restricted) puzzles and one sliding-tile puzzle (with no time limit) per episode. Gets a bit annoying in few levels as You need to have razor sharp eyesight along with pattern matching skills. But if You feel a level is too difficult to finish, You can skip the level (not sure how many level skip is allowed per episode). Hints are also available, but You need to recharge it. Overall, I recommend this game if You are looking for an additional perfect game on Your steam profile.

A game where basically what you have to do is to find pairs of items. There is 140 levels of that + 20 levels of minigames (puzzles). It is OK but it gets repetitive as hell after a while. But for over 6 hours of content for 0.39€ I paid for on sale I can't complain too much. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (4.11-7).

Feels like a mobile conversion, but still fun. Music and images stayed on theme and there wasn't anything off or anything about the art or the game itself. No glitches or anything. Probably not a good game for COLOR BLIND or trouble telling similar colors apart. I don't know the requirements for achievements to count on Steam, but this game did not have like crazy easy or a high number of them and they should totally count for perfect games.

I want to note that I completed EVERY SINGLE LEVEL without skipping any. I did use a couple of hints just to see what would happen. Some levels made me scream in frustration because I was short by one item and did not complete the levels. But, patience paid off and I got them all completed. I really enjoy playing this game and even look forward to starting it over again. It really works the brain to focus and take the time to consciously note the details of all of the many different (and same) items in the clutter. They used the same item graphics throughout the entire game which made it so easy to identify items at later, more difficult stages of game play! Truly brilliant!!! The graphics are pleasant to look at, and provide just the right elements to allow you to find them AND to allow the developers to use them to increase difficulty whilst still allowing the player to learn how to identify different items under different circumstances. For example, finding a matched pair o...

If you like matching items and some levels with wacky matching rules, then this is the game for you. If you are easily frustrated, have impaired vision, or are colorblind, the harder levels are going to be very challenging or impossible. I forget if I payed the full dollar price or not, but its ok for that price or on sale.

This game was brought to you by the year 1996, based on the technology they have appearing. It's so random. And the timer doesn't actually count down the time correctly. Starts at 5ish minutes, then stops somewhere around 2.5 minutes? There's no logic to the timer. It's not a fun game, even for the price.
