About Coded Clothing Mall:
It’s super glitchy; even after multiple years of being released. If you don’t buy all the combinations at mall rank 1 forget it you never will; collecting money is ridiculously tedious; game days are too short (1.5mins which isn’t even enough time for a shopper to explore the whole mall), and there’s no customization. If all the money from a shop isn’t collected when the TINIEST coin in the world appears in the upper right corner of THAT particular shop you lose out on that profit by half! Really… there isn’t a “collect all profit” option still…? It has potential but it needs major tweaking… Saw this game available on Chrono.gg for $2.50 and saw that the reviews were mostly positive, so I decided to take a punt. What a complete waste of $2.50. There’s really nothing here that resembles strategy or even gameplay, for the most part. You buy store blueprints with a “heart” currency, build new stores with money, sell products to gain money and hearts, rinse and repeat. There doesn’t seem to be anything more to it other than the relentless clicking. To collect money from the stores you have to click on the store (which has a 4×4 pixel icon on it if there’s money to be collected), then click on a menu icon to collect its money. As stores sell goods they’ll level up, get a 4×4 upgrade icon and then need to be clicked on and upgraded by clicking on the menu bar, putting 5 points into two mysterious stats using tiny, tiny buttons, then click the close button on the upgrade window, then click the close button on the next “You have successfully upgraded your store with these exact stats that appeared on the previous menu” window. The whole experience is a miserable UI disaster that would be far more comfortable in a touch-based interface, but which would still be terrible even then. It would just be less terrible. The developers seem to have abandoned the game back in April, and probably aren’t coming back; I don’t think there’s anything worth saving/patching here anyway. Not without totally redesigning the game from the ground up. The soundtrack is pretty sweet though, I’ll give them that much. But yeah, the only reason to write this review is to try and counter the ridiculous number of positive reviews this game has. This is not a positive-review game. It’s a terrible, terrible game, and you should not buy it.
