Among the Heavens-Waiters in hell Okay, I admit I exaggerated a little bit at this Headline. But I'm pretty sure I have a whole three grey Hairs more because of this Game.
Among the Heavens is a Time Management Game from Jetdogs Studios. The Game principle is simple: Eat your Customers (and earn as much Money as possible to unlock the next Level).
Care should be taken to ensure that there are different Types of Customers (some are more patient than others or give more Tipping). There are also bonus Points for Performing The same action in a row and Bonus Points for Placing guests at the right tables. (For Example: A Customer with a green Top, should be placed at a Table with a green Marker.)
Does the Game principle work?
No, not to me. It's way too hectic even for a Time Management Game. In addition, I find the normal Degree of Difficulty too difficult. (There is no slight Degree of Difficulty.)
Introduce different types of Customers is a nice Idea. The Implementation has only not been entirely successful, as I find even the patient customers too impatient. Often customers already come through the Door "annoyed."
Place a Driver (very impatient Customer Type) in front of a more patient type of Customer (which has come through the Door slightly irritated) and the Driver then spills his Drink? Usually doesn't Work, especially when you try to get bonus Points by performing The same action one after the other.
And yes, guests spill their Drinks. The Restaurant full of potential Customers and three Guests break up almost simultaneously spilling their Drinks and have to reorder. And that happens on a regular basis. As regularly as it gets frustrating.
To get a tip, a small Mini-game must be completed. A Circle appears on the Tables and as soon as the Pointer is found in the green Area must be pressed with the Mouse. (As long as the Circle is on the Table, you can't place new Guests.)
Unfortunately, elected Actions cannot be reversed. And in the process, it happens quickly, that something is overlooked or just clicked wrong. That takes Time (and Nerves) that you probably don't have. The Possibility of Cancelling action would have been really desirable.
Summary: + Collectible Cards + cute Graphics + Easy-to-reach achievements + Bonus level 3-Wins to get extra Bonuses-chosen Promotions can't be canceled-guests spill their Drinks far too frequently-Quite high Difficulty also on "normal"-Problems with the Cloud (?)-Save Game was gone after PC formatting-just as patiently considered customer types are not patient enough-receiving tipping only if a mini-game is successfully Completed: Small Time Management Game for little Money. Unfortunately, it is too hectic and offers little Variety through the Levels. I didn't play through it and therefore couldn't in good Conscience recommend it.
Maybe the Game would be for Players who like heavy Time Management games and don't bother with the course of the Game themselves.
