I was a huge fan of the Time Management games featured on Big Fish. However over the past year every single new TM game released is a poor imitation of previous games in the same series. Here are my major complaints:
Dumbed Down Graphics: Everything is flat with no hint of depth of field or perspective. The field of play has been reduced in order to make room for the overly large and color saturated characters. Every single game looks like it was developed with a 3-year old consultant and the maps look like something you would find on a children's placemat at a cheap family restaurant.
Stupid Game Play: How many times can you pick berries from the same bush or chop wood from the same tree without getting bored enough to bail on the game? There is no longer any hint of surprise or something to actually challenge the player. Gone are the games where you would actually have to figure out a strategy in order to get to the next level. Instead all we have is the same old, same old.
Hideous Music: Again, a 3-year old consultant picks the music, apparently. It is repetitive, dull, unsophisticated and insulting to anyone with an ounce of musical appreciation.
Please, guys, get it together. Not all of your players are young children and we miss games that were challenging, beautiful to look at and listen to, and above all fun to play.
The graphics are very poor, flat with no dimension or perspective, overly large and cartoonish. The music is very annoying and repetitive. The game play is nothing special, just a cookie cutter reproduction of a zillion other time management games.
