Review of 'Change It!'

Rating:2 User: Digital Prawn

A simple "matching pairs" game where you use QAOP & <SPACE> to pick out pairs from a 8x4 grid of hidden items. Time limit is something around eight minutes which is insanely generous for a grid of this small size.

The grid of items appears nice and colourful but unfortunately doesn't quite make up for the fact the hidden items themselves are in black and white. If you play this, you may well wish (like I did) that the items themselves had some colour in them. This is particularly because a few of the finely detailed black and white objects are difficult to identify.

The game lacks either a CPU opponent or a limited number of lives (which I'd much prefer) and these things tend to make games of this genre more challenging (c.f. a certain matching pairs One-Liner game :) ).

So, this one could have been much better, but is marred mainly by being rather too easy making the replay value quite low, despite the fact that it is presented well overall.
