99Moves (Nintendo Switch 2)
Publisher: Top Hat Studios What I Paid: $1.49 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: 99Moves is from the same publisher and developer as 99Seconds and the same comments [BRAAAK!] apply here. You have 99 changes in direction to avoid the fast-moving background [BLARPPPP!] and get to the end. I managed to complete the first mission before…

99Seconds (Nintendo Switch 2)
Publisher: SuperPowerUpGames What I Paid: $1.49 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: 99Seconds is a fast-moving game where [BREEEP!] you try to avoid the on-screen [BLERK!] obstacles and [BRRAAAP!] collect bonus points and [BLAMMO!] and time extenders [BLEEP!]. It has the most [BLLAAARRK!] annoying and LOUD [BRAAAK!] collision noise I have ever come across [BREEEEEK!] in…

Hentai Gallery: Cute Girls (Nintendo Switch 2)
Publisher: 17Studio What I Paid: $6.00 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. Very Short. What I Say: I’ve noticed more and more “Hentai” titles appearing in the Nintendo Switch eShop lately. For a long time, these titles were anime-inspired, but lately lots of photorealistic titles have appeared. They follow a familiar pattern price wise, and soon end…

Story of Abandoned School – Silent Escape Horror (Nintendo Switch 2)
Publisher: Testagamercreations What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. Made by Unity Logo. What I Say: The “Made by Unity” logo at game start-up and the publisher name – Testagamercreations – sum this game up succinctly. This is more like someone’s first attempts at creation with the Unity engine than an actual game worth…

Acrylic Nails!: Complete Edition (Nintendo Switch 2)
Publisher: QubicGames What I Paid: $2.10 (Acrylic Nails!, Spooky Painting DLC, Winter Marble DLC) Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: A while ago I reviewed Dentist Bling: Complete Edition and deemed it shovelware.

Aaron – The Little Detective (Nintendo Switch 2)
Publisher: Asylum Square Interactive What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: Aaron – The Little Detective is a basic Hidden Object game targeted at children. 12 screens hide a varying assortment of 9 objects, a surprising number of which are hidden behind the object list. The game is voiced and completing…

2048 Colorful (XBox Series X)
Publisher: LVF Studios What I Paid: $1.45 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: When my XBox was almost brand new, I would occasionally take a look in the Store. This title would often feature as a 90% discount title. I ignored it for a while, but eventually succumbed and bought it. Back then I…

Escape game R00M02 (Nintendo Switch 2)
Publisher: AlignmentSharp What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: This is a very basic puzzle game written using the Unity game engine. Like its predecessor, you have a small number of rooms to navigate and puzzles to solve in these rooms. Hints are located throughout the rooms and you can get…

Escape game & Card search game R01M (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: AlignmentSharp What I Paid: $1.39 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: I debated for a little while about whether I’d let this title slide by without earning the “Shovelware” moniker, but in the end there were too many characteristic Shovelware features to let it go. In this laboriously-named game, you explore the insides…

What I Say: Candy Puzzles (or Candy Puzzler – always a red flag when the game’s name isn’t consistent – release date 24-Dec-2024) is an Asset Flip of Fantasy Saga Frenzy (release date 29-June-2024). This time the falling objects are confectionary and cakes, as…
