Amber Halls

At first it seemed 1) too simplistic and 2) too unfair. I thought: This game is no good because there’s no way to get better at it. Then I finally figured out how to get better at it. Very satisfying to win my first 10-level quest. And very satisfying to realize that I could now probably win most of the time. If I pay attention, anyway :) Tips for players: Always bring everything with you; and maybe watch the replay of a daily to see it how it’s done.

It mystifies me how this company continues to fix tiny bugs on this game, when, with a little thought, this could be made into a playable game. When I could score I played it. Now it's a waste of my time. When you plan a game it's important that you make progress a vague possibility. Otherwise interest dies quickly. So it is with Amber Halls. I made the mistake of scoring 36 right off. After 36 the game is basically impossible. Well, in spite of the fact that your progress goes back to the very pre-dawn every time you start, this company got the bright idea to keep the impossibility the same as if you are at 36 points. This results is a never ending history of games that score from 0 (believe it or not), to maybe 3 if you get hot. In other words, once you get a really good game, delete. There's nowhere to go from that point onward. And it seems obvious that they don't read our reviews.
