One-Note but at Least it’s Cute

This one was fun for about an hour. After that it got a little tedious. I kept playing because it was keeping my kid engaged and even as the game introduced new elements it never really took the game out of first gear.

The art in this game is very cute. The colors harmonious, the palette from which we can select is limited to keep the look of all the buildings in the street matching. It's good that it was a short game as I wouldn't want to spend more time on it. I liked the concept but wished it was less clickety and more detailed regarding people's tastes in the shops.
