Schoolhouse Shuffle

Time-management game. Victoria Bright set to build a school for talented and gifted people. Now established, aid Principal Bright in her quest to cultivate and educate her budding geniuses. Your tasks are to shepherd students through their days at Brainiac Elementary, and maximize their learning potential. The more children in the classroom from when the bell rings until class is dismissed, the faster you build a gauge that awards report card-style grades, with "C" average minimum required to pass the level. The further you progress in the game, the more tasks inevitably piled on top of you, pupils that must be managed and employees who have to be kept in line to boot. So not only does the title boast the kind of production values you.d expect to see from a full retail product, it also offers just as much challenge. It is your chance not to study at school, but to manage it.

You are going to manage school. Characters, designed to resemble .50s-era cartoons, are all beautifully animated, and . per colorful surrounding backdrops, including transparent glass dome-covered libraries and giant hamster wheels that pass as gyms . sport a catchy retro-futuristic look. That said, though, we.re not entirely amused by the outing.s fundamental setup, which requires you to herd groups of hyperactive tykes or individual stragglers to various classes on time. So while it.s possible to upgrade grounds with better classrooms, aesthetic elements and additional workers between scenarios with cash awarded for in-game performance, it.s always a tenuous control you maintain over the proceedings at best.
