Does this game have any replayabillity or have many stages? ROGER-NL Well-Known Member May 21, 2012 4,030 340 83 Male Gamer. THE NETHERLANDS #6 ROGER-NL, Sep 24, 2020 Yeah it has replayability for the Leaderboards, you can alway’s improve your score.

You know how many stages does this game have, btw? Ijipop Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2012 557 268 63 #8 Ijipop, Sep 24, 2020 After a 45 seconds stare contest, buy button indeed won. After 30 minutes of gameplay. Either I really don’t get it. Or I am dumb. Everything speaks to me, visuals, music, sense of humour. But damn... Will edit if I figure things out. Seems more like a puzzle (with very limited solutions for each stage) But then again. I’m not even sure how things works... sebgo, solarnya and Jstorm like this.

I really want to like it. All seems to makes senses now. But I’m still pretty sure, after completing 5 « missions ». That there is only a few way to finish each stages. While I am not against a good puzzler once in while. It’s not really what I thought it was. There is tower elements in the form that you can upgrade your boutiques and there is waves of consumers. But that’s it. I thought there might be a little of mini metro here. In the sense that each run is different enough that you want to insta-restart a new run. But for now I don’t see me coming back to earlier levels since there is not enough space to improve. What is cool though is that you can restart from any waves you completed. I am still scratching the surface. Maybe something will open up soonish. edit : after a couple of stages you unlock the « daily map » sort of. Wich is nice.

Except for the first levels which are there to teach you the mechanics, there are multiple solutions in each stage. You can compete for the best score in the leaderboards in each level (starting level Hamelin, previous level being considered as tutorials). Most of the cities are split into different steps, with different objectives, each step has its own leaderboard, and there are many ways to reach the objectives.

StratAll Well-Known Member Dec 24, 2009 160 17 18 #17 StratAll, Sep 27, 2020 Interesting, lovely art style, not for very casual players though as the puzzles quickly ramp up in complexity and there is a quite narrow margin for success (or I am still too noob ). The option to restart from any previous day does however give plenty of room to tweak strategy. To the devs, you give an overview of income per store after each day, but the real parameter for success of course is 'lost sales due to full stores'. Would you consider also showing the number of customers that passed a store without entering at the end of a day? Perhaps as an easier mode? I find myself frantically looking and counting as the day passes, but I feel the game would still be entertaining and challenging for number crunchers if you simply display this info. Also it would go a long way towards more casual players who might be too scared to plunge into this very innovative game. Thx! Stefan. TheSilveryWolf, sebgo and MatLoz like this.
