Well, i downloaded Sneezies a few months ago. I think when i originally got it it was ranked pretty high in the children's section of the app store. The art, cute furry animals in bubbles, and description "Sneezies is an overload of cuteness" made it sound perfect. However...its actually a pretty standard linking game. You pop one bubble and then it goes and pops a whole bunch more. The art and game play are totally professional but they don't really go well together.
I gave the game to "Wormie", thats the 4 year old's nick name of choice, I'm going to call the 1 year old Deadly...pretty cool names i think, and she really loved it. For like 5 minutes...then she hit some button and i had to restart the game. After a few tries she was able to move from screen to screen but the bubbles that the cute little guys float in get progressively smaller and after a point it was too annoying and she gave up. In face it wasn't just the size of the bubbles she was getting annoyed with it was the fact that you only get to hit one bubble and then you watch the chain reaction as the bubbles pop each other. I think the general concept was within her grasp but the strategic component, and level of patience required, were not ideal for a four year old girl.
I think this game looks good for kids but is more suited to adults. I think i would be embarrassed to be caught playing this on the train. Ultimately it is more suited to cat lady in 11a who gives us cute styrofoam ornaments of her pets every year. I liked the game but my kid would NOT pay .99
