Jones On Fire reviews

(If you want a detailed Impression of the Game, you can watch the following Video: Do you know what?-Jones On Fire) A Runner where you collect Cats and run away from Fire. You'd think as a Firefighter or woman you'd kind of try to put out Fires, but No: Apparently the Fire brigade's only Job is collecting cats. Fair enough. The Problem of the Game anyway is not the Cats, but the bad Graphics and the equally lousy Sound. The Game principle is very simple, which is normal for a Game Of this Genre, but a bit more could have been come up with. In this Form and with this Presentation, it's just not Fun. The Developers are still trying to make the Game interesting Through an Upgrade System. The collected Cats serve as Currency for Upgrade, for golden Cats you get special Upgrades. Additional Currency can be earned by Completing small Missions. That all doesn't do anything if the Game is just bad at Its core. Getting into these Upgrade systems and reading through the Missions already takes more Time than Jones On Fire is worth.

My first Thoughts: Wow, this is actually not a bad Game! A nice little Car Scroller for Kids, not finding bugs, even has good Soundtrack, seems pretty well done ... Then I thought a little more and saw the numerous negative Sites, this is obviously a No-brainer, so why is it ... 1st ... So time-consuming? To be honest, I never made it to the End, but if I had a good Run and got to level 7 or so that Took about 20-30 Minutes! Most Children are forbidden by their Parents to use the Computer for more than half an hour or a ne hour a Day ... Many won't even have the Time to play through! 2nd.... So difficult? Explains myself, I'm not necessarily bad at Games like this, but I haven't made it beyond Level 7 yet. If I can't do that, then most Children won't either, quite apart from the Fact that Children's Games should always be possible for them, otherwise they will quickly get bored. 3rd.... So text-heavy? Many Texts could be drastically shortened or omitted altogether, Children take longer to Read if they don't even have Problems with it or are at an Age when they can't even. Nor do they have an easier time filtering out the essential Information. After a created Level, a simple Summary of the rescued Cats would be enough, but instead about 3 Sentences are displayed, which are already strenuous to read, because of their Size, Color and font, either way, in which this is described and that is Just one Example. 4th.... So unbalanced? In such a repetitive Game, there should be No Upgrades where it takes Hours to farm the necessary Resources for them, especially if they are merely cosmetic. 5th.... So varied? The Upgrades are boring, each Level looks the same and I've already seen better voxel Graphics (take an Example at Cube World, even for Voxel simplistic, but looks 10 times better) However, I have to say that playing with €3. Satisfactory Price. Here I am faced with a Dilemma: For a PC game it is definitely favorable for what it offers (€530 it could have been) but it acts like a Game, which would be more suitable for a Smartphone, but it would be too expensive for that. Overall, the Game gets a 3/10 from me, on my Profile I recorded what Which score means
