I just saw someone in the "Selfie Dating" section asking about any games to relieve my boredom recently. I finished testing "The Growth of a Boss" and handed in my homework. Let me talk about the conclusion first: I give this game a 7.8 score. It is the kind of casual sketch that "you can't stop talking about something outrageous" and is suitable for having fun during spare time.
Picture: Refreshing but not crude, character expressions are the essence
The art adopts a bright cartoon style, and the color scheme is very comfortable, without the plastic feel of cheap web games. The contrast between the rags of the beggar period and the suits and leather shoes of the later period is quite interesting, and the vertical painting of the secretary is also eye-catching. The most outstanding thing is the expression of the character - the protagonist has a cute face that says "Although I am poor, but I have the halo of the protagonist", combined with the hot internet memes in the dialogue box, the impact is full. The UI layout is smooth and there are no fancy animations, which is a good point.
How to play: Puzzle solving + development + prank, the stitching is so smooth that it doesn't violate the rules.
The core gameplay is to click on items in the scene to trigger the plot, which belongs to the traditional puzzle-solving framework, but the surprise lies in the "imaginative usage" of the props. For example, using smelly socks to stun security guards, using fake gold chains to fool passers-by, all kinds of nonsensical operations are completely worthy of the joking title of "Domineering President". The development part is relatively light. You can unlock clothing and office decorations through levels. There is not much numerical pressure, it is more like collecting fun. What got me the most was the funny plot between levels. The planning was very clever, and jokes like "Pinduoduo hacked his way to his ex-girlfriend's house with a knife." Even though they were silly, I couldn't help but laugh.
Krypton gold: You can still enjoy it for 0 yuan, and it's not as conscientious as domestic manufacturers
The marked charging mode is 0. I played for more than three hours. There are no pop-ups to recharge, no physical restrictions, and even watching ads is voluntary (only to speed up the upgrade). Dressing up and secretaries are basically level rewards or achievement unlocks. The only "in-app purchase" is to watch ads in exchange for gold coins, but the amount of gold coins obtained is enough, and it is not compulsive at all. This point must be praised. In today's environment where 648 is often used, it is considered a breath of fresh air.
Social: Almost none, but good news for single-player players
There is basically no social system in this game. You cannot add friends or chat. The only relevant thing is the ranking list, but the rankings are all robot scores. The advantage is that you can play it cleanly and no one will send you mocking emoticons when you make a mistake in clearing the level. It's suitable for people like me who are afraid of social problems. After I finish the game, I can secretly enjoy it and share it with my friends. Since everyone is at the same progress, we can also share solutions to each level.
Let's talk about the shortcomings: the puzzles in the middle and later stages are routine, and some levels have to be played again with a new skin, which reduces the freshness; the plot is funny but the coherence is average, more like a collection of jokes; the adaptation to Android 5.0 is no problem, but there are occasional slight frame drops, and I hope to optimize it.
Summary: If you are looking for a game that is mindless and relaxing, can make you laugh like a pig, and does not cost a penny, you can try "The Growth of the Overbearing President". It doesn't pursue depth, but it excels in easily relieving stress, just like the spicy strips in a convenience store—not a big meal, but chewing it makes you happy. My rating: Picture 7.5/Gameplay 8.0/Krypton Gold 9.5/Social 5.0, an overall score of 7.8. I recommend it to friends who like prank solving puzzles and fragmented entertainment.
