Shopping Clutter 2: Christmas Square

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).

This game is very frustrating, because you can never fully finish a level. The way levels are finished are by the amount of items you have to collect. Instead of them setting a minimum amount to pass a level, and then letting you play out the rest of the board... the game just finishes. It feels extremely unsatisfying, which is a bummer. I also don't like that the items that you have to collect rarely or never change. That said, the game is extremely cheap, and i did enjoy playing it. If you are good at puzzle games, this game might seem kind of easy and simple. If you aren't as good, then i think this game will give you enough challenge for it to perhaps be fun for you. I also liked the Christmas music!

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 of baubles where one is in full color and the other is a single colored version of the same bauble; or, matching halves of items that have been divided into multiple pieces to complete the object. The…

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.
