A nice, entertaining little game. It's great at killing time and doesn't take long to finish (especially in fast mode: took me like 5 minutes).

The title is self-explanatory, and the game has a nice interactive game board. The ability to play with bots is nice, as well as there being multiplayer.

However, the game isn't too graphically pleasing - it looks like it was made around 10 years before it actually was. Also, I find it really annoying how, once you pass $999k, your cash becomes $1000k instead of $1m.

For a game published by Microids, I'm extremely impressed.

I love the Telltale games. I love story-rich, choices matter games. Although this lacks originality (it's very similar to TT games), it seriously makes up for it in its immersive storyline. I often don't like dystopian games but I could not stop after finishing episode 1. Definitely plan on getting the rest of the season at some point.

One thing about this game, though, is that the acting is atrocious a very large majority of the time. However, I'll assume that this is down to budget - and is a rather menial thing.

If you like 2D "adventure" games with little story/objective rather than a few quests, then this game is the thing for you. Unfortunately, this is not for me. I found the game nearly mind-numbingly boring and got bored after not long (the 7.6 hours are from card farming).

The 2D layout seemed a bit flat, I struggled to make out what could and couldn't be jumped on. The tutorial seems to end right after the first quest, meaning I was wandering around aimlessly for a while.

A platformer game reminiscent of the classic Super Mario games (complete with old-style graphics), Adventures of Fluzz is a relaxing, not too difficult platformer. It's clearly targeted towards a younger audience, but I still enjoyed it.

The game ran perfectly fine for me: no crashing, freezing or mistakes caused by the game.

I like the ability to toggle the music, but I find the other setting too basic. I like the ability to decide if I want the game in fullscreen or windowed mode, but windowed mode appears as a bit of a strange resolution. I also find the sensitivity of the cursor too fast, and the movement of the character too slow.

There is no tutorial. Although it is easy to figure out what your objective is, and that you move with the arrow keys and jump with the spacebar, some sort of tutorial would be nice. I'd also like for there to be a bit of a story to the game (why are there bunnies in cages, with snails and snakes as enemies?), but that's more personal preference.

A rather enjoyable time killer. I don't think it's quite worth NZ$5.99 however.

Unlike others, I haven't had any problems with running the game. I've not experienced any crashes or lag, and I'm using a decent 6 year old laptop.

There are a few instances where the game seems to not count certain real words in the dictionary, but I have not experienced this enough times to find this a problem.

I definitely recommend this game - definitely consider purchasing it on sale, or seeing if you can obtain a Steam key.

The game feels more like a PC port of a free mobile game (without the ads), but regardless, is still very enjoyable. The game is not too difficult. Difficulty does increase each level but not so much that it suddenly becomes difficult to pass. The game is also quite addictive - could easily get very far and lose track of time in one sitting.

The music is calming and it's great that there is some sort of story. However, I found the game slow and boring. The idea is basic - slightly enjoyable but too basic to be engaging. It felt like the game was missing a lot in SFX; I think there should have been general ambience SFX for the puzzles (like maybe quiet sparking sounds), sounds for when you're clicking the numbers, and some sort of sound for the dialogue.

This game does have a lot of potential to be a great indie game - at least the effort has clearly been put in, and it's not just an asset flip.

Got this game free from a Steam key. I don't think it's worth the $8.59, however.

The game is interesting. It's more of an arcade-style game and is very obviously an older game. It's still enjoyable, not too easy and not overly difficult. The game runs well, but only runs in full-screen. Also, I found that if I ALT + TABBED out of the game, I would have to close the game through task manager - Steam could not close it.

The gameplay is enjoyable, the graphics are OK for a little 2003 arcade game, but there are still a few problems that need fixing.

This game is simple - it's very easy to get the hang of quickly. There are enough features for this game to be "basic", but not missing anything. There are plenty of maps and vehicles to choose from, and characters and poses to customise your carnage even further. And when you tire of the maps, there's more to be found in the workshop. The game also includes a level editor for if you wish to make maps yourself!

Overall, it's a great game, and definitely worth the NZ$11.99.

I enjoy playing a good game of UNO in real life... but even more so in this game. The classic and 2v2 games are always fun to play, whether that's by yourself or with friends. Sometimes, there are a few problems with the servers, and my friend and I had problems getting multiplayer to work the first time we played. The game also requires uPlay (which I already use, hence why I don't find it a problem).

This game is best played with friends. We haven't had a round yet where there has been some sort of short-term vendetta has occurred. The AI also serve as proper competitors that will make mistakes and switch between playing good and bad in a round - you're not up against AI that will play good for the entire round and win, or play bad the entire round.

Annoyingly, however, the online servers will sometimes randomly kick you. You will randomly get a message saying "quitting online match" and be booted for "network timeout" (despite my network not actually timing out).
