Vegas Stripping:
Somehow, I managed to stick with this game, more out of determined anger than any real enjoyment. The storyline is pretty amusing. Some of the puzzles are clever, and fun to solve. The animation-style graphics are bright and appealing. As a person with a sophomoric sense of humor, I appreciate the tone of the game. But the overall execution was lacking. It nearly wore out my mouse. Pick it up if you're positively bored some evening, and/or you're really missing Las Vegas. But no one would fault you if you played it for a bit and then never gave it another thought.

It's also an incredibly niche genre compared to shooters and RPGs. Which means that unless you're asking for a fraction of what you really need chances are good that you'll end up not making it. Outside of titles like Broken Age, Dreamfall Chapters and Obduction, none have breached seven digits."
Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter is well-known for being a platform to get ideas funded by fans and without the need to have a publisher breathing down their collective necks. And while it should be enough to give from the kindness of one's own heart there still needs to be a carrot dangling from the stick to make backers reach deep into their wallets. And that's where the reward tiers come into play."
