Christmas Stories 10: Yulemen for Android

I was entertained! Some of the puzzles were too hard for me. I learn thru trying. Thank you.

As usual, this Christmas Story game follows all the previous - much fun and nice winter scenery. This one however feels shorter than the previous ones although I don’t believe it is. I’d give it 6 strs if they would bring back the morphing objects - snagging the collectibles is always a fun part of the games.

I paid for this game when It was in the App Store then downloaded it and had to pay again. Not very happy. Updated December 7th To Lynx and anybody else who paid twice I tried going through the App Store twice and was turned down. I don’t know why but someone needs to fix it fast.

Attention players! The App Store is aware of the glitch and it might be an App Store glitch and NOT a developer issue. All you have to do is go to your receipt, select report a problem and request a refund for the second charge. Simple and easy. I was refunded very quickly! So truthfully we should NOT be basing our reviews on a glitch that might not be the developer’s fault! On to the review. The storyline was a combination of elements from a Christmas Carol (Hans was basically Scrooge) and Icelandic legend about the Yulemen. In the bonus adventure you learned how Hans became such a miserable person. The game was lengthy. The graphics really could have been better, but they lacked saturation, as well as visual acuity. The map indicated collectibles, which consisted of postcards and puzzle pieces. The general gameplay was terrific, with many tasks to accomplish at each location. The player was provided with a Yuleman named Glu to assist in reaching objects in locations not able to be accessed by your character. Glu could also access portals to travel to Hans’s memories. There was a great variety of HO scenes, from word lists, to silhouettes, using one object to find another, and replacing objects in the scene, as well as some others. The mini-games were alright, but many were rotational, and I am sick and tired of those. I prefer logic-based games and not rotational. Give us some artsy ones, like paint by number, embroidery, etc. We also love dominos, mah jongg , and carnival-type games! Labyrinths and mazes are always welcome. These are suggestions that Elephant needs to take to heart. I’ve been doing this a very long time and I know what the players enjoy. Please remember I have about 10,000 followers, so please use a bit more innovation in these puzzles and games! This was a good game, but in some ways it was lacking. I would have enjoyed the game more if it had magnificent graphics and more interesting mini-games. My final rating will remain at 4 stars. Gamers, if you were able to play and got your refund, please UPDATE your review. Elephant is a small company and they need as many players as possible, so kindly get your refund, play the game and leave a review. Because if you don’t, we won’t get ANY MORE GAMES! Thank you. Happy holidays, everyone!

I was sorry to see so many had a problem with paying twice, but this glitch must have been corrected. I just finished the game and had no problems with it. A wonderful Christmas game!
