Cutie Tutti Frutti Reviews

Cutie Tutti Frutti is an overly generic match three game more than likely ported from mobile. I got this day of release with a hefty discount, swayed into the purchase by what seemed like an easy set if achievements. The hunter in me craved what I assumed would be some fun, moderately easy points. Oh, how woefully mistaken I was. The further I got, the buggier Cutie Tutti Frutti became, not to mention how basic it truly was. Find x amount of y fruit (in the end a total of six) before z (time) runs out. You earn one, two or three stars depending on the speed of completion. Power-ups exist, though don't offer much. You can hit a clock to freeze time for five seconds, a heart to restore a sliver of health, and last but not least two damage types. Hit the bomb for a three x three square demolition, or the butchers blade for straignt horizontal and vertical lines. Both count to the fruit removal numbersm but the smiley blue square does not, offer8ing a chance to remove one fruit from the tile set at random temporarily. How you get these powers are not like most other games. You don't match four or more for a specific one, or in a ninety degree angle, nor in a cross formation. Just match three or more seems to be it, and what appears on screen is ultimately randomized. So on later levels, pray to whatever deity you owe your mortal soul to that you get what you need to rack up the fruits with the most sparsity. And that becomes the biggest problem. While map structure plays a role inkicking you square in the dick, the lack of drops in later stages from milk cartons and coconuts are the steel toe to the, well... coconuts. The combination of these factors really make the last five stages difficult, especially twenty-nine which features a donut hole layout and odd fruit drop mannerisms as if a sign the game is telling you to get fucked. Thirty is a bit easier with its exhorbitant amount of matches needed, but the limited room of the zone prior really will leave you raging enough to hit alt+f4 more than once. This game is as generic as it is poorly designed. I cvan see this a freemium game offering you to buy lives or watch ads for another minute of hell with stage twenty-nine. Honestly, if something like that existed in this title then the end wouldn't be so barbarically cruel when time is running out, you've run out of power-ups, and exhausted all possible matches. There are so many better titles on this platform worth their retail price such as my personal favorite Grindstone. This, hoiwever, is not even worth the time and frustration a sale price of forty-nine cents US would give you. Though forty-nine cents would make for the perfect gag gift to someone you hate...
