Add junctions for stories to go either way. Anything other than what's on offer now.

    The price is good but there are better games out there for the same price with more longevity because i was bored within minutes; and on a PC. This game is really more suited to the mobile platform.    … Expand

    It's one of those games for kids you can find on tablets where you need to arrange a series of pictures in the correct order and after that tell a story this sequence conveys. It's typically used in kindergarten for training logic or testing IQ in pre-schoolers. Miniature however offers some stories which wouldn't be suitable for kids (a murder in a house for example).

It's typically used in kindergarten for training logic or testing IQ in pre-schoolers. Miniature however offers some stories which wouldn't be suitable for kids (a murder in a house for example). And adults like myself don't find this thing a game, rather a logic task which is too easy to solve and thus not fun at all.

    One more thing: the game lacks any explanations on what must be done there. The "tutorial" is just a single screen with vague instructions on what the on-screen buttons do, but it doesn't explain what you actually need to achieve. I went on youtube and found a guy there who, like myself, struggled on camera for 10 minutes, unable to figure out the goal of the game.

    Basically what you do in this game: press space to cycle thru the pictures in random order. After you get what story they convey if arranged correctly, keep pressing space until you see the first picture of the story, click on the dot with number "1" at the bottom of the screen, then keep pressing space until you see the second picture of the story, click "2" and so on until you've marked all 5 numbers. Then press the round button to the right of the numbers to check if your ordering of pictures is correct.

    As you see, the controls are super-clumsy. The app (can't call it a game) would feel a lot more natural if there were just 5 pictures on the screen which you need to arrange in the correct order, from left to right. But then the game would really be a tablet game for kids, right? Right.

    And one more thing: the blur. The pictures are all so blurry that often it's hard to see what's going on. Did they think this would make the game better or more interesting?

    Overall, this game is a pile of graphical assets wasted on something which could only work as a free, 2D tablet game for preschoolers.    … Expand
