First, what a lousy bunch of reviews for a game that is familiar and comforting for this ol' lady. I am so very glad that they got rid of the super large pictures and suns. Those were like kindergarten. But this one is more like game 9 and I really enjoyed that one.

First, what a lousy bunch of reviews for a game that is familiar and comforting for this ol' lady. I am so very glad that they got rid of the super large pictures and suns. Those were like kindergarten. But this one is more like game 9 and I really enjoyed that one. This is supposed to be a fairy/magic theme so I would have loved to see more magical things like charms, potions, and items like that.

Remember, children play these games too, so if you're an adult crying that it's "too boring," keep that in mind and go find something else to occupy your time. This is a good game and I will recommend it for those of us who find that (structural) change is not always better.

I do miss the challenge of the memory/flip-over mini-games. Why they took those away in favor of more "move the squares" I'll never understand. I also wish they would include more of the small/large challenges. These do not structurally change the game, just add more fun.

And again, thank you for that "skip" button that allows me to bypass some of the "divided" games...I don't love those but I understand others do, so I'm happy to be able to skip them while others play them out. Show less

I recommend this game!

I'm really liking these games. I have had so many club credits that have expired and these are fun games to play to get my mind off of things.

I recommend this game!

It's true, this is another dismal entry into the Big Fish world of gaming. If you've played any of the previous games in this series, you've played them all. What the pictures are doesn't bother me one way or the other. As long as they are different from game to game, I'm fine with whatever the developers select. I click on all of the "sun" symbols first thing just to get them out of the way since ...Show more

It's true, this is another dismal entry into the Big Fish world of gaming. If you've played any of the previous games in this series, you've played them all. What the pictures are doesn't bother me one way or the other. As long as they are different from game to game, I'm fine with whatever the developers select. I click on all of the "sun" symbols first thing just to get them out of the way since there are so many of them. But, as bad as this game is since nothing new is ever introduced, I did purchase it for 2 reasons. 1) I had a free game coupon and 2) I play two or three levels of this game between other games just to give me some variety. I am a huge clutter fan in general so squeezing in a few levels between other games is okay. Not superior, but okay. I am mostly scratching my head and asking why these games are the same all the time. Where is the developer's imagination or enthusiasm for challenging players with some new ideas? I agree with some reviewers of past games in this series - the bubbles are just flat out irritating. Not fun in any way - ever. I can't strongly recommend this game, but I can't say "no" either since I got it even though I used a free coupon. Show less

The original Clutter games are super fun but Shopping Clutter is just boring. They have huge repetitive objects, giant suns, and annoying features. Shopping Clutter pales in comparison to the original Clutter games which are constantly adding really cool features. The look and feel of those games make Shopping Clutter appear as if it were a High School class project, the differences are astounding.

Most of the levels involve finding Matching pairs or occasionally Triplets of objects, and some of the levels have semi-transparent objects, but for the most part, there's no variety. The same objects are repeated over and over in every scene and it quickly becomes monotonous and boring not to mention the fact that many of the objects are completely unidentifiable and will leave you clueless as to what you are actually matching over and over.

There are two modes of difficulty, Easy Mode which has no time restraints, and a Difficult, Limited-time Mode that gives you extra points for not using Hints. There are 140 Clutter-type levels that can be replayed if you want to earn a better score, the developer always seems to have the top score which seems rather conceited when you think about it, right?
After playing 7 Clutter levels, you can play a Jigsaw Puzzle variation such as Square Tile Swaps (adjacent, diagonal, etc.) Sliders, or Memory Match games where you flip over two cards at a time to try to make matches of identical objects (20 Total Puzzles)

Each scene has a ton of GIANT Sun Emblems scattered among the junkpiles to recharge the Hint Meter, seriously, what's the ratio of the number of objects required to find versus how many Sun Hints there actually are? The only reason I click on them is that their presence annoys me and they are always in the way, they need to be smaller, much smaller!

I really don't see that anything has changed or that any new varieties were added. When this series first came out, it seemed that the objects to find were more interesting, but as of late, they don't seem to be putting a lot of effort into these games to make things more interesting, at least pick categories that are interesting! (FOOD or PAPER OBJECTS is the best you can come up with?)

I don't recommend this game.

I have all of these games and usually I really enjoy them. The last one was a let down so I should have seen this coming. This one is just ridiculous as it is literally full of dragons, unicorns, fish and that are so small, incredibly similar in colour and extremely annoying as the time limit doesn't allow for this.

I'm glad to see they had reduced the number of levels with those annoying bubbles in, but this game was far more repetitive than usual, no real fun.
Shopping Clutter?? Shopping Disaster, more like. Show less

First level was taking away sweets. Couldn't identify any objects as sweets; had a few goes then passed. Next level was pairs, but objects were just too silly. Lots of unicorns and other kid stuff. Just couldn't be bothered with this.

I don't recommend this game.

To messy, everything is the same color, terrible. Nowhere near the first clutter games. To bad!! Wont be playing Clutter anymore. This one actually hurt my eyes it was so bright and busy. Just a money maker for developer now. So sad, they were fun once! !!

I don't recommend this game.

If you have never played one of these Shopping Clutter games, I suggest you try one of the very first ones that came out. This 11th installment is a train wreck in my opinion.

The music, or should I say the tinny, digital noise passing for music, is the same as almost all the other games. In our glorious, vast world, can't they come up with some different tunes??

If you have never played one of these Shopping Clutter games, I suggest you try one of the very first ones that came out. This 11th installment is a train wreck in my opinion.

The music, or should I say the tinny, digital noise passing for music, is the same as almost all the other games. In our glorious, vast world, can't they come up with some different tunes??

The objects you need to match may be new this time around, but they are gaudy, bright, and cartoonish. I was getting a headache and my eyes were burning after ten minutes.

The mini games in all Shopping Clutters are the same type. Nothing ever changes, no added thought or creativity went into this 11th game. Also, you can click on a ton of gaudy yellow suns but all you'll ever get is one or two hints for all that clicking. And taking time to click on the suns instead of making matches dwindles down your allotted time.

Like I mentioned, I lasted ten minutes playing this one and it looks like most of the other reviewers didn't last much longer. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
