that it can be seen from the amount of mobile user, Indonesia still being a
consumtive market share. So, chance in mobile
segment could be said is bigger than desktop and web market. But
still, there are so many challenges in Indonesia’s market mobile, those which
made Creacle Studio interested for focusing in mobile segment.

startup line for Indonesia to appear in global world, compete with others

Suggestion for The Game
Suggestion
for the game is realted to the difficulty. When we play this game, the opened
difficulty that we could play are Easy and Medium. For Hard and Insane
difficulty cannot be played because we have to wait for the updates from the
game developer. That thing make gamers dissappointed, waiting for the updates
without a clear date when the updates released. And for the Ads-Banner that is
really disturbing when we turned on our cellular data.
Related
to the difficulty again, sub-game divided into 4 different difficulty actually
is not really affecting. Because, there are sub-games in Easy difficullty those
have same hardship as the Normal or Hard difficulty. Make those sub-games
looked like ungroup and do not fit to the difficulty class.
Suggestion for Gamers
For the players of this games, expected not too
addicted. Because, this game caused ‘greget’ to raise the highest score in
every sub-game. So, that thing which make gamers try again and again. Watch for
the playing time, and don’t play this game too long. Beside make our eyes
troubled, it could make our socialization to other people reduced.
