Grandma Cleaning Simulator – Family Business Tycoon (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: GOGAME CONSOLE PUBLISHER What I Paid: $4.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: “Made by Unity”. I am starting to dread seeing this message when starting up a game, since Unity seems to be the engine of choice of Shovelware creators. The suspicious key word spamming is another clue. Anyhow, this “game” is awful. The…

Fantasy Saga Frenzy (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: RuWaMo Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: This game’s title is quite misleading. I was expecting some sort of RPG. What it actually is is a bit of a mash-up between Tetris and a 2048 game. Falling objects accumulate at the bottom of the screen. Matching objects results in the…

Construct Farm (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: Nerd Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: This is one of the worst Shovelware titles I have ever had the displeasure of reviewing. Firstly, the A and B buttons are reversed in their usual actions. This is always annoying. Secondly, there is no actual gameplay as such. You pick from…

Good Guys (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: DillyFrame What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: This is a comic. Read the image. Press ‘A’. Repeat. The story is short and…bizarre. Read “What They Say” below – it truly is that weird. There is a second story – entirely black-and-white – which is conveniently not shown in the…

Hentai Solitaire (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: RedDeer.Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: This is a bare bones solitaire game with two modes of play. The “Hentai” label comes from the tiny “Hentai” pictures on the back of the cards, of which there are 10 choices only. When the most titillating image in this game is the…

Steam Engine (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: RandomSpin Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. Very Short. What I Say: RandomSpin Games have a ton of Xxxxx Engine games available on the Nintendo eShop. All of them have the same premise: click ‘Y’ for a bit to build up an Xxxxx Engine. Soon after starting, the clicking becomes optional.…

Bike Courier: Bistro Express Delivery (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: GOGAME CONSOLE PUBLISHER What I Paid: $4.74 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: Steer a bicycle around from circle to circle in a very small open world area which all looks much the same. Rarely see cars on the road. See pedestrians. Earn $10 per “delivery” for bike “upgrades” that cost a huge amount of…

AAA PRO CLOCK 2023 (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: DEZVOLT GAMES What I Paid: $1.59 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: 3 clock types. 9 digit colours. 5 or 6 backgrounds. I forget. Can’t be bothered going back to look. Clock. Alarm. And…that’s all. No game. Reading through the description of this title took longer than actually exploring all of its features. Starting with…

Alien Engine (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: RandomSpin Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware What I Say: This is an incremental clicker game where you gradually build up an alien structure by simply clicking ‘A’. Clicking builds up cash for upgrades, including faster cash increments. Fairly soon into the game, you can purchase an automatic clicker and then after that…
