Reminds me of MySims, sort of.
Cutesy characters, 3D, and business simulation...sounds like MySims to me!

Going to try this out later, as soon as I can get a hold of it.

NVM:
I judged to quickly! I judged first by looking at screenies online.
After i downloaded it, I COULDNT EVEN FIND MY OWN SHOP =O
And the "3D" thing, you cant even see ur characters head, its like a tilted Birds Eye view.
So..
4/10

I think if got a hold of a manual you would be able to find your shop no problem =P Don't think "I don't have a manual" is a good enough reason to give poor score review. And I don't know what you mean by you cant even see ur characters head. Do you mean their faces?


I'm on day 19 of Summer, year 1. Making $1250~$1400 profit a day. Early game was seriously a chore, but once I got some toys to level 20+ and expanded the shop, it became much more fun. Tweaking prices, shop layout, toy "tech-tree", side quests and hidden blueprints are good enough for a store sim.
If you can withstand the repetetive workshop in early game, I'd give 8/10. Personally this beats Animal Crossing and My Sims on single player, but the lack of online interaction hurt the score quite a bit.
I'd say over half of people would think "this is so repetetive and feels like work instead of fun" and quit. Probably it's a hir or miss kind of game.

This is surprisingly fun. I expected another "Build-a-Bear workshop" clone, but this actually had some thought and creativity put into it. It's not Zelda or Final Fantasy by any means, but worth checking out if you need to kill some time. And, of course, kids will love it.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
