Connected Hearts: Lost Beauty

Too many commercials

The brief preview revealed nothing about the game, with meaningless tasks like putting on make-up, sequencing a drink, and finding food. DO Games have become so boring, lack voice actors, don’t allow players to turn in ‘collected’ items for objects, HO games are largely focused on finding patterns, not objects, (why would I want another one for finding lame seashells?), and bonus chapters are sold separately. And all this can be mine for the low, low price of fifteen dollars! Deleted, not purchased.

Although this was always one of my favorite series, because I enjoy playing from the vantage point of two romantic protagonists, this game fell short. The first issue was the annoying cultist storyline. Domini, you did a great job of alienating people, especially women, who don’t feel like they possess the beauty they so desire! The other issue, which was major, was the horrendous lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface! I feel like I am getting carpal tunnel from tapping so hard. In addition, I collected all of those annoying shells (more, actually as there were 143) and I was not awarded the extra HO! That’s poor quality assurance on your part. I did however enjoy the gameplay, the graphics and the fact that it was a lengthy game. If not for those negatives, this would have been a 5 star game.
