Ms. Holmes: The Milverton Plot by LynxMinx
The storyline was very confusing, and I did not care for the annoying and repetitive deductions. Sometimes, the map failed to indicate ANY available actions. Also, some of the characters talked and there was no text on the screen, so I had no idea what was said. (I play on mute.) In addition, the lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface was appalling. It was especially frustrating to find objects in the HO scenes when Elephant no longer provides a zoom feature (all of our other developers do so, but Elephant is creating these games cheaply and it shows in their quality assurance). It was difficult to obtain certain collectibles as they were located behind the menu and strategy guide icons. The entire game was very short. However, the general gameplay was fast-paced and enjoyable, I completed all of the mini-games, and there was some innovation taken with inventory usage. I was able to follow the bonus chapter storyline with ease. Despite the quality assurance issues, I liked the gameplay. My true rating will be 3.5 stars, and would have been higher if the quality control had been up to par. Keep the crime stories coming! They are so much better than fantasy! Note to Elephant: the sort filter on the App Store does not work, so you are losing revenue because your games do not show up. One can only find your new releases on your hub. Truthfully, since I have never been given an unlock code for all the help I have given you, I will not be bothered to tell anyone in my population when you have a new release. Every other developer sends me codes to recognize the time and work I put in, as well as the huge amount of revenues I incur, but you have never so much as thanked me. So be grateful that I told you about the sort filter.
