I made it only a couple of minutes through the trial before I uninstalled this game . . . First the sounds made me crazy. Did they try to pick the most annoying sounds possible??? Couldn't have been accidental . . . maybe it gets better but, for time management games, there are just so many fun ones that I'd hope there's something more to this. I'm sure someone will try it and let us know!!

 

Schoolhouse Shuffle STINKS

I could turn down the annoying noises, but there are so many things that make this game frustrating and bad that can't be turned down. First, the caregivers don't go where you tell them to. Once things get out of control, you can't find anyone (sometimes even when not out of control) because the language graphics cover them. The stupid principal has a huge voice text box that covers people. The caregivers get lost in the kids and when they have text boxes you can't get to anyone.

Apparently no one but the designers played this game. You need to beta test and get some outside input. I had a daycare for years and this seemed like a game I would love. I played the whole trail hour, but couldn't wait for it to end.

Also, download changes graphic configuration on computer that is not restored when deleted.

Better luck next iteration!

Ok before I downloaded the trial for this game, I really should have read these posts! This game is really blah. I have to agree, the sounds suck and for a TM game its a waste of "tm" hehe Half of the time when I clicked on something, the little kids and the teacher did not cooperate. I thought it was my computer but I dont know.

I think younger players would like this game, but I found it very boring. Only played about 5 minutes before I uninstalled it. Even my 11 year old daughter had no interest in it.

I too found this one Boring . didn't use the full trial period, but did feel alot longer than an hour of playing. I agree with all the above comments, sounds awful, speech bubbles cover half the action, characters with "artificial attitude", and not artificial intelligence, refusing to go where I clicked.

Not one of your best i'm afraid

i really like the game because you get absorbed in the frustrating noises and trying to find your staff

i like this game so much i think i'm going to buy it purely so i have an excuse to get stressed

I played the trail hour, and could not wait for the game to get better with higher levels (as some games do). It did not. I happily uninstalled it after the hour. I'm surprized, I thought it would be something that I liked.

Good luck to those who continue past the hour trial, I'm off to find a game to actually USE my game credits on.

I actually really enjoyed this game, and spent a game cerdit on it. I didnt find it that frustrating. After a while of game play you pick up on subtle sounds that allow you to find the kids causing problems. Upgrades also help the kids move faster and need less attention

I guess it isnt for everyone though

I think the game is nice for kids. I'm a teacher and it is nice for a classroom game as it helps students see the scenario in school.

its not really for adults, so the comments that people have posted really don't apply to age level that the game is soliciting for.

My 7th graders love it. We are having a contest to see who can complete the game.

Anyone know how many levels before completion?

thanks
