Fashion Forward

Style and vogue capture all the aspects of our life including entertainment. Therefore fashion subject area becomes one of the most popular for computer games developers. Sandlot Games have recently embodied their fashion ideas in Fashion Forward. It can be called a hybrid of Time Management and Hidden Object games and will undoubtedly interest those who show preference to the trend themes.

To be objective, it should be noted, however, that Fashion Forward game has both advantages and deficiencies. The first ones include fresh and quite challenging gameplay, funny and cute storyline. The game is rich in upgrades and quirky customer characters, and it has got a smart bonus and trophies system as well. Besides, there are two gaming modes – timed or relaxed at option. One more characteristic of the gameplay is that it’s too fast paced. Let it be left at your discretion whether it’s bad or good.

As for the shortcomings of the game mentioned above, some of them are apparent. The first thing which arrests your attention is too rapid loading time. A more flowing run would definitely improve the quality of the game. Fashion Forward developers should also do a better job with the graphics, namely with the scenes depictions. You can be a bit disappointed in the razor-thin differences between the game locations. In addition, another obvious disadvantage is that the pieces of clothes hang too tightly, therefore you often cannot serve your customers in time making a number of wrong clicks.

Analyzing musical design of Fashion Forward, it leaves an ambiguous impression. Background music is quite pleasant in general. But there are several sound effects which are obnoxious indeed, when you lag behind in executing clients’ orders. Actually, it annoys and distracts from the gameplay.
