Warcraft Rumble - Gnomeregan - Cairne Bloodhoof - Horde Dungeon - June 2024
The Horde Dungeon was offered between June 2, 2024 through June 8, 2024.
This video shows the completion of the Horde Dungeon for June 2024. Each dungeon lasts one (1) week and consists of three (3) levels which must be completed as a gauntlet. No swapping of leaders or troops is allowed and must be completed by a leader of the faction of the week. Completing the dungeon allows for Army Upgrades which allows certain minis in certain spots to gain up to three (3) levels.
Warcraft Rumble was released on November 3, 2023. Based on the World of Warcraft cast of characters, Warcraft Rumble is a miniature 4X game where each round lasts no more than four (4) minutes.
This game is designed to be played on a mobile device and does require an internet connection, although it does run quite well in an emulated mode on a personal computer.
Bucking the trend of most mobile games, Warcraft Rumble has NO ADVERTISING! We appreciate this trend by Blizzard. That said, they do have a store for micro-transactions. After all, the bills need to be paid somehow. We'd rather have a store than the constant barrage of annoying, intrusive and data-sucking advertisements.

Plants vs Zombies 2 - Plant of the Week - Gumnut - June 2024
35 Gumnut seeds are awarded for completing this event consisting of five (5) levels.
Plant of the Week - Gumnut - was offered between June 1, 2024 through June 8, 2024.
Gumnut is a member of the Reinforce-Mint family.
Gumnut costs 125 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 3, 7 and 10.)
When a zombie reaches Gumnut, it will explode encasing the zombie in sticky bubble gum.
This Gumnut prison has 8,000 hit points. (+1,000 per level. An additional 3,000 at level 10.)
The trapped zombie will block all zombies behind it, effectively stopping the zombie advance.
When given plant food, Gumnut will blow a bubble. This bubble will explode encasing five (5) zombies, prioritizing “dangerous” zombies. (+1 zombie on levels 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10.)
This effect is repeated for each Gumnut on the lawn when Reinforce-Mint is planted.
Commentary:
One would be hard-pressed to name a better stalling than Gumnut. Stopping all zombies in a lane and being able to absorb punishment like Tall-nut makes this plant a great staller.
Bottom Line:
As good as this plant is at stalling zombies, it will never eliminate a zombie. Eventually, the zombies will eat through Gumnut's bubblegum prison and continue their advance.
However, on levels where surviving the level is the goal versus eliminating all zombies, Gumnut is an excellent choice.
Gumnut is worth considering where one needs time to complete a Penny's Pursuit objective or to set up defense.
Chain 3, Chain Pop, Chain Puzzle game, puzzle, match 3, child-safe game,
~~~~~ What is Chain Pop / Chain 3? ~~~~~
Chains 3 is a match 3 game where one must rotate a link of chain to create a chain link of at least three (3) links.
Chain Pop is a match 3 game where one must move a chain link to create a chain link of at least three (3) links.
This is a different twist on your generic match 3 game. We appreciate that.
~~~~~ Is Chain 3 / Chain Pop to Win? What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~
The developers seem to be taking the standard approach here:
An advertisement after a level or two.
An advertisement to give extra moves or some other in-game benefit.
As such, one can pay to remove these ads and receive some in-game benefits.
~~~~~ Is There Any Objectionable Material in this game? ~~~~~
We're sure someone somewhere can find something objectionable with this game. We just can't find anything remotely objectionable.
~~~~~ Is Chain Pop / Chain 3 fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~
Are these games challenging? We do not think these games are overly challenging. We find them a little simplistic. But this is not a bad thing as children can get the hang of this.
As the levels are short, there really isn't much a grind.
~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of Chain Pop / Chain 3? ~~~~~
Pros:
A nice twist on the Match 3 games.
Quick, relatively easy levels.
A child-safe game.
Chain Pop requires no internet to play.
Cons:
No music or sound for Chain Pop.
Chain Pop has levels which repeat.
The game is repetitive.
What is the Bottom Line?
These games are nice to have in your library. These make for nice games for when one has a couple minutes or when one desires a light brain puzzle game.

Diablo Immortal - Introduction to Tempest - Daily Bounties - June 2024
〰️〰️〰️ What is Diablo Immortal? 〰️〰️〰️
Diablo Immortal is a Free-to-Play Large Scale MMO (Massively Multi-player Online) Game created by Blizzard.
This game continues the Diablo story and can be played on a normal desktop (which is how this video was recorded) or a mobile device. Accounts can be synchronized so progress in one form is carried onto the other.
〰️〰️〰️ What kind of game is Diablo Immortal? 〰️〰️〰️
Diablo Immortal is a “hack and slash” game which involves killing demons, beasts and other forms of adventuring dangers in the quest of doing good deeds, saving the world and of course, obtaining better loot.
〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo Immortal “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? 〰️〰️〰️
According to Blizzard, money payments can be applied to cosmetic appearances and to purchase materials. One can play the entire story without needing to spend real world cash.
My experience is that while it would speed things up, spending cash is not necessary to enjoy the game.
〰️〰️〰️ Is there any objectionable material in Diablo Immortal? 〰️〰️〰️
As you would expect in a hack-and-slash game, there is lots of animated violence - typically blood, guts and gore.
While female characters can show some cleavage, they are not overly sexualized or objectified.
〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo Immortal fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? 〰️〰️〰️
Blizzard typically makes their games a little easy on the front side and slowly ramps up the difficulty once one has spent some time with the game.
This model appears to be used here as well. One should easily get to level 15 or 20 with no real difficulty.
〰️〰️〰️ Is Diablo Immortal playable on a mobile device? 〰️〰️〰️
Blizzard says Diablo Immortal can be played on a mobile device. This game would not load in Bluestacks, an Android emulator for mobile devices, so we do not have direct experience on mobile game play.
Based on the PC version, we do not see how one can reasonably enjoy playing Diablo Immortal on a mobile device. This game takes 27 Gigabytes of space on my PC. While I expect that number to be smaller for mobile devices, even one (1) gigabyte would tax many mobile devices.
Secondly, the controls work well with a keyboard. If one has a portable controller, this would be helpful for playing this game on a mobile device. One needs to move the character and press a key which will activate the spell or action the character is to use. How this can be done without a controller and still be enjoyable, I simply do not see.
〰️〰️〰️ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? 〰️〰️〰️
While there is the customary in-game offers for in-game items, I have not encountered any 3rd party advertising. 😊️ This is definitely a good thing.
〰️〰️〰️ What is the story in Diablo Immortal? 〰️〰️〰️
The events of Diablo Immortal takes place five (5) years after Diablo 2. The story centers around a demon trying to collect shards of the Worldstone - which was destroyed in Diablo 2 - in order to do bad things. You - the hero - need to prevent this from happening.
Blizzard is not known for writing engaging stories and this one certainly follows suit.
〰️〰️〰️ Is this a commitment game or a casual game? 〰️〰️〰️
Diablo Immortal is definitely a commitment game. While there are side quests and dungeons which can be done in fifteen (15) minutes or so, this game is meant as a primary game - to be played when one has significant downtime.
〰️〰️〰️ What is this video about? 〰️〰️〰️
This video captures game play from the Tempest's perspective. This video shows the introduction from level 31 to level 32. This shows the daily bounties. One gets a fair bit of experience from doing the daily bounties so we did those to try and shorten the grind.
〰️〰️〰️ Anything else we should know? 〰️〰️〰️
Blizzard partners with NetEase to handle the micro-transactions and to handle the details of bringing the game into China. Some people may be uncomfortable with this arrangement.

Traffic Jam Cars Puzzle Legend - Level 56 through Level 60 - June 2024
Traffic Jam Cars Puzzle Legend is a combination Match 3 game with a nice dash of Parking Lot games where the player needs to clear the cars from a full and mixed up parking lot.
How difficult is this game?
So far, this appears to be a game meant for the majority of people. We've not encountered any serious difficulties. But then, we are still in the adventure / extended tutorial stage.
This game does ramp up the difficulty level.
What about advertising?
Sadly, these appear. But that's the sad reality these days. Not many people want to do micro-transactions and a game like this appears to be more filler than a commitment game.
Any objectionable material?
The Policewoman and the Nurse are attractive and portrayed in an appealing manner. They are not depicted as showing any skin or in any sexual manner; however some may view their depiction in a negative light or reinforcing negative female stereotypes.
What are the Pros and Cons?
Pros:
A nice twist on Match 3 games, adding a parking car element to the game.
Nice power-ups.
Decent challenges.
Cons:
Levels get a little challenging a little too quick. Should not be a problem for adults but children could get frustrated.
Music can get repetitive.
Too many requests for purchases.
Bottom line:
If you are a fan of puzzle games, this is a nice one to add to your collection.

Adventure Capitalist - Saturday Morning Fever Event - June 2024
Adventure Capitalist is the 1st idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. This game takes the idle clicker concept with the goal of making as much money as possible.
This video shows the beginning of the Saturday Morning Fever event which started on May 31, 2024 and ends on June 3, 2024. Since there is not a lot of time left in this event, we just wanted to get started and not worry so much about efficiency.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.

Adventure Ages - Scandinavia Scramble to Tier 3.0 - June 2024
Adventure Ages is the 3rd idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. The first was Adventure Capitalist and the second being Adventure Communist. This game takes the idle clicker concept of resource management and puts a story about fixing the space-time continuum.
This video shows the beginning of the Scandinavia Scramble mini-event to tier 3.0. We went about as far as we could go before the grind starts to take over.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.
Scandinavia Scramble went from May 31, 2024 to June 5, 2024.
Jewel Charms and Clones - Levels 56 to 60 - May 2024
Jewel Charms and clones like this are a Match-3 game. Players make matches of three (3) or more to complete objectives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ How does this differ from the other Match 3 games out there?
The graphics are pretty. Combos of 4 or more give power ups. There are other variants that make this game interesting.
Jewel Charms and its clones appear to be more of a campaign type game with options - free, advertising and real money. We will progress through this game as needed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any objectionable material?
As with many games, there is an attractive woman who guides you. While not objectionable in itself, there are some individuals who would not appreciate the reinforcing of negative female stereotypes.
We have discovered that Jewel Planet and its clones are indeed the same game with very minor differences. It appears that one copied/stole the game from the original author, re-branded the game and have released it under their banner. We find this practice disgusting; and we do not know who the original author is.
We've actually found four (4) games under the "Jewel" name.
All these games can be found in the Google Play store so Google hasn't discovered any is clone of the other.
Adventure Ages - From Tier 10.5 to 11.3 - May 2024
Adventure Ages is the 3rd idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. The first was Adventure Capitalist and the second being Adventure Communist. This game takes the idle clicker concept of resource management and puts a story about fixing the space-time continuum.
This video shows the progression of the game from the tiers listed above. We went about as far as we could go before the grind starts to take over.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.
Warcraft Rumble - Heroic Missions - Map 14 Area 1 - Jin'do the Hexxer - May 2024
Heroic Missions are unlocked once the player has completed the requisite fifty (50) levels in adventure mode - through Tier 10 Map 5. In order to clear each Heroic Mission, each boss must be defeated by a leader from each faction. In other words, five (5) separate defeats. This is made more difficult as the mini levels for each boss is increased by ten (10), in addition to other unique effects that these bosses have. We show how to defeat each boss with each and every faction. When defeating a heroic boss, the player receives a major tome of the leader's faction.

Word Search - Daily Puzzle for May 30, 2024 - May 2024
~~~~~ What is Word Search? What kind of game is Word Search? ~~~~~
Word Search is a word scramble jumble type game. The player is given a block of letters, sometimes with a clue, and must create words using some of the letters. When a correct word is found, those letters are removed and the blocks rearrange themselves.
~~~~~ Is Word Search “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? ~~~~~
We have not found any benefit for spending real world money, apart from supporting the developers.
~~~~~ Is there any objectionable material in Word Search? ~~~~~
There isn't any objectionable material that we have found. After all, this is a word game.
~~~~~ Is Word Search fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? ~~~~~
For those who enjoy jumble-style puzzles, this game can give you a nice dose without the commitment of larger puzzles.
As with any word puzzle games, challenging is a relative term. It all depends on your skill level and vocabulary.
Is this a grind? Only if you need to do multiples in a short time.
~~~~~ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? ~~~~~~
This game gives you the option to turn ads off. We must applaud that.
~~~~~ What are the pros and cons of this game? ~~~~~
Pros:
As soothing background music.
A good learning curve to the game.
Clues make sense. No obscure or far-fetched clues when looking back at the puzzle.
Lots of levels.
Daily puzzles.
Suitable for children, we would say 10+.
Cons:
We really could not find anything wrong with this game.
~~~~~ Do you recommend this game? ~~~~~
Absolutely! This game seems to have done everything right. If you are a word-smith, you absolutely must get this game.

Adventure Communist - From Tier 11.3 to Tier 12.3 - May 2024

Defense Grid - Borderlands - Level 2 - Forge - Story Difficulty - May 2024
〰️〰️〰️ What is Defense Grid? What kind of game is Defense Grid? 〰️〰️〰️
Defense Grid is a “tower defense” game where you need to protect power cores from an invading insect army. More information can be found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Grid:_The_Awakening
〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? 〰️〰️〰️
Unlike many games today, this game is not supported by advertising. One purchases the game and can play the game - in this case on Steam - for as long as desired. While each player will try different strategies and tower setups, the experience otherwise is the same.
〰️〰️〰️ Is there any objectionable material in Defense Grid? 〰️〰️〰️
I'm sure someone somewhere may object to the massacre of insects or the transfer of a personality into a computer or some other far fetched idea.
But for most otherwise normal people, there is no objectionable material in this game.
〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? 〰️〰️〰️
Defense Grid will appeal to those players who prefer a more tactical and strategic kind of game.
Defense Grid can be challenging. Some achievements can be frustrating to obtain but the story mode is not going to frustrate many players.
Being a purchased game, there is no incentive to create levels or make current levels longer just to keep players in the game. As such, there is no grind in this game.
〰️〰️〰️ Is Defense Grid playable on a mobile device? 〰️〰️〰️
Defense Grid is made for the Personal Computer and some gaming consoles. While it may be possible to play Defense Grid in an emulated environment on a mobile device, this game is not designed as such.
〰️〰️〰️ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? 〰️〰️〰️
As Defense Grid is a game one purchases, there is no need for in-game advertisements.
〰️〰️〰️ What is the story in Defense Grid? 〰️〰️〰️
The story is based on alien invasion of a planet that has a dormant defense grid. As the player is re-activating the defense system with the assistance of a computer to control the machinery and with only limited resources, the aliens attempt to steal power cores. Power cores are "tiny floating orbs" that provide vital power to the defense grid. Cores are carried by aliens, and when the aliens carrying them die, the cores are dropped, and will slowly float back to their central holder. Once all power cores have been taken from the level, the game is over. Only one power core needs to remain when the last wave of aliens are defeated to complete a level.
〰️〰️〰️ Is this a commitment game or a casual game? 〰️〰️〰️
As with any game one purchases, there is a commitment factor to it. After all, why pay for a game and not play it?
That said, Defense Grid is more a casual game with levels lasting no more than 10-15 minutes.
〰️〰️〰️ What is this video about? 〰️〰️〰️
This video captures the story mode difficulty of the Awakening Story line. The Awakening story line is more a tutorial with more challenging levels played later.
〰️〰️〰️ Anything else we should know? 〰️〰️〰️
Defense Grid is a nice casual tower defense game. If you are a fan of Tower Defense games, give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed.

Knobsters - Easy Mode - May 2024
Knobsters is a game where the player rotates one knob 90 degrees clockwise. If a path can be made, the color of the receiving knob will change and that knob will be rotated and the cycle will continue until there are no more moves which can be made.
This game has no advertisements.
This game has no objectionable material.
This game feels like a proof-of-concept project which was released. This game sorely could use a tutorial and simple levels so that the player can get a feel as to how to approach levels. Otherwise the player will just randomly turn knobs and hope for the best.
Strategies like when to abandon a color and go to another one. Is there an ideal way to maximize knob turns? How should one approach a block where all the knobs are locked into themselves and not easily accessible from the rest of the group?
This game has no background music.
The background music is provided by https://ai-music-magic.audoir.com/
That said, there is potential here.

Diablo Immortal is definitely a commitment game. While there are side quests and dungeons which can be done in fifteen (15) minutes or so, this game is meant as a primary game - to be played when one has significant downtime.
〰️〰️〰️ What is this video about? 〰️〰️〰️
This video captures game play from the Tempest's perspective. This video shows the introduction from level 30 to level 31. This continues the main story from the beginning of the Dark Woods area and includes claiming a daily bounty. We stopped when reaching a town inside of the Dark Wood.
〰️〰️〰️ Anything else we should know? 〰️〰️〰️
Blizzard partners with NetEase to handle the micro-transactions and to handle the details of bringing the game into China. Some people may be uncomfortable with this arrangement.

Warcraft Rumble - Heroic Missions - Map 13 Area 5 - Abercrombie - May 2024
Heroic Missions are unlocked once the player has completed the requisite fifty (50) levels in adventure mode - through Tier 10 Map 5. In order to clear each Heroic Mission, each boss must be defeated by a leader from each faction. In other words, five (5) separate defeats. This is made more difficult as the mini levels for each boss is increased by ten (10), in addition to other unique effects that these bosses have. We show how to defeat each boss with each and every faction. When defeating a heroic boss, the player receives a major tome of the leader's faction.

Adventure Capitalist - Pew Pew Pew Event - May 28, 2024 to May 30, 2024
Adventure Capitalist is the 1st idle clicker game from Hyper Hippo. This game takes the idle clicker concept with the goal of making as much money as possible.
This video shows the beginning of the Pew Pew Pew event which started on May 28, 2024 and ends on May 30, 2024. Since there is not a lot of time left in this event, we just wanted to get started and not worry so much about efficiency.
As you would expect from a mobile game, there is advertising and micro-transactions. However, none of these were forced - just optional.

Emoji Guess Challenge - Review and Walk-through - Levels 26-30 - May 2024
What is Emoji Guess Challenge?
Emoji Guess Challenge is a game where a word is given and the player complete the word using the supplied emojis. It makes more sense once you have done a level or two.
Is there any objectionable material?
This game has no objectionable material. At least that any reasonable person would find objectionable.
What are the pros and cons of this game?
Pros:
Young children can play this game.
People who are not thrilled about playing games but who can converse in emojis can have fun with this game.
Cons:
There is no soothing background music. That would have been nice.
Some of these puzzles are puzzling.
A skippable ad appears after every three (3) levels.
What's the bottom line?
Emoji puzzle games are definitely a change of pace from word games, puzzle games, Match 3 games and games based on some sort of violence. But that is all that it is. The ads break any kind of rhythm one can get into.
Bottom line - this game is OK.
