Developer fixed the bug. Now works. Still got to try it out some more. Tentative buy.
Old review:
I bought this and it doesn't automatically install. I checked it so it said it was installed. It still didn't unlock. Until the developer gets this fixed, you may not want to buy.

Only need to use the mouse

Really enjoy this Katamari style game. Controls easily with just the mouse.

One of the first things I got was a notice saying that a season was over and my level would be reset. There are tutorial videos apparently instead of tutorial play sessions. I set auto adjust on quality and that improved things. It makes sense to me that it should have been set at default. It said it could not join a game with no additional error information when I chose quick game.
I have since had the free copy revoked, but the Silent Hill DLC looked interesting so I bought it so I could buy the Silent Hill DLC. I have hardware upgrades too, so I'll see what's changed.

The preview video is very misleading. You do not drag the icons from the green dot, you click on the green dot and the icons appear on the fox/wolf/whatever animal's head. I don't know why they feel there should be a default sound as opposed to no sound at all, or why it should be scratching, but they do and it is. I found the startup sound before you get to anything to be annoying. And what is taking so long to load? The graphics are very sparse, there are sliders, buttons the vertical scrollbar the text, the animal head, the green thing, and the circles that sounds are attached to. It would be nice to have a wide array of icons at least. Couldn't pull off that getting the circle sliding from side to side thing yet. No tingling sensation, pleasant or otherwise experineced.

It feels like this software requires you to already know stuff you might consider downloading this program to learn. What does it mean to "rig" a character and why is it separate from "animate" for example. And why am I not put into an animation editor when I click on animate? Instead. I am prompted to log into Maximo in order to "rig and animate". I guess for Maximo's Fuse rigging and animating are assets and not something you bring into existence by editing or something? Why, oh why?

Breasts and buttocks aren't able to be sized as big as you might like. This can be offset some by making other parts smaller, but it's trickier to get a whole package right. your ZZZ bra back busting buxom beauty is not going to happen in this program.

Elements you might think you should be able to access by right-clicking are instead accessed by clicking on "Customize" along the top to access a cascading menu along the left hand side that replaces the initial body part selection screen, which actually looks more like presets of the customize menu than a separate thing. Going back to the first menu and selecting something different didn't seem to result in a change.

I still haven't gone through all the activities and will keep you updated.
Some activities you can play with the sound off and some you can't.
Navigation between rooms is a game of chance. There is a hard to discover warp option though. I think it appears when you bring the cursor to the bottom edge of the screen. Also at the bottom of the screen is the hippo bank.There is a book remarkably like the record book that you click on then type Y for yes to quit. Why the couldn't have made it all mouse clicks, I don't know. They should have put the record book there and the ability to exit on the record book screen.
At first there are empty stars. Clicking on them results in a not very helpful "You don't have any of those stars yet". Well buddy will ya mind telling the kid how to get some of them there stars? Maybe even take him to where he can get some? After the star is filled in, it tells you one place you can get more of that color star, although there may be more than one place and in different rooms.
Always seems to reward two and only two starts. Not parent configurable.
You cannot set specific drills for your child.

Clock Activity:
You can't play it with the sound off. Seems to only have an hour activity and not a minute activity.
When you click on the clock, you have to click on the hands and not simply where you want the hands to go

Fridge How many products high am I:
Limited amount of products. There are products that peek out but are never used.

This may be the first media player I've seen that inisists on runnig full screen. I also had Windows 10 default font sizes at 20 and the program's interface was completely broken.

A game best played with turning on the ability to turn clipping on and off so you can get to areas of the stages you simply can't get to with clipping turned on. Also there is a payoff for doing things contrary to what the narration suggests you do/ And look at the text files in this games directories. Hey, Davey Wreden started it!

These games have low-quality graphics and the apparent DRM means the game won't start if you've temporarily lost your internet connection or Steam is in offline mode.
