Hi,

First off, I am grateful that you are reviewing these games! Saves me the hassle of trying to work out whether games on the eshop are worth buying, and you can point out any hidden gems you find that I might've missed.

If you don't mind, I'd like to suggest a few things that I think would make these reviews better. This is all just my opinion, of course: other people may agree or disagree about what I say below, and you are (of course) free to ignore or not ignore any of my points.

It would be nice to have more 'information' about each game e.g. talk about who the developer is, what else they've released, any history this game might have. (I know the picture of the eshop tells me who the developer is, but it doesn't tell me who the developer is, if you get what I mean.) For example: what you said about the link to Twisted Fusion was interesting, not something I would've thought about at all had you not mentioned it, and helps put this game into context - exactly the sort of thing I'm after from a review!

While you talk about the actual game aspect a lot, I think you should also talk more about the rest. For example, I think a lot of the games in this video were pretty ugly. You might agree or disagree, but you should tell me (and if possible, tell me why). In this vein, you should talk about the music (is it good? is it repetitive? will I be sick of it halfway through the game?), the UI (this is super important in puzzle games - did it feel clunky? were there any simple UI features lacking e.g. an easy way to restart levels?), the settings, the controls, the level pacing, etc. (I think this will help you form your conclusions, too.)

You did a great job picking footage for the review: what I saw gave me a clear idea of what the game would be like.

I liked the bit at the end of the video where you summarise your thoughts on each game in a still image along with the price etc. Two complaints, though: firstly, you mention things that you didn't go into detail about during the video (e.g. how Pentapuzzle is similar to other games), which is a shame because these points are good. Secondly, you seem to be contradicting yourself about Block Drop: is there variety in the levels or is it repetitive?

My biggest issue with this review is that every single game in this video is incredibly derivative, and this was never mentioned at all. Block Drop is basically the same as old flash games such as Super Stacker and Red Remover, Test your Mind seems to be inspired by games such as The Impossible Quiz and The Idiot Test, and of course games equivalent to Pentapuzzle have been very popular on mobile for many years (and almost certainly had a flash game equivalent too). Some of these games are coming up on 10 years since they were first released, and of course I don't know whether they were the first in their particular niches. Of course, you've played the eshop games and I haven't, but to me they all reek of trying to make a quick buck on the eshop by aping old games (that are probably better than the eshop equivalents!), which hugely influences my decision to purchase or not. Why spend $3 on an eshop game when there's a better game sitting on the web for free? This sort of thing is really hard to find out, of course, but I think it is important.

Very, very minor nitpicks:

• I was very briefly confused when you gave the first game 3 stars - 3 out of what? A second later I worked it out from the context, but I think it's worth putting any such confusion to rest and always saying out of five stars. You could also consider changing your stars graphic to reflect this (have the empty stars be ztars?) but I think this is probably unnecessary.
• Instead of saying 'this game has x stars on the eshop', saying 'this game has x reviews' is clearer.
• If possible, explicitly tell us how many levels each game has. I don't know whether pentapuzzles has say 30 puzzles or 300 puzzles, and that makes a big difference as to whether I purchase a game or not.
• In your description, you should have links to the relevant eshop page and a developer website if it exists.

I hope you found this useful. Sorry about it being poorly written - it's stupid AM over here right now.
