Fat City
Fat City isn't a bad game at all; it's serviceable and has some genuinely fun and clever moment-to-moment mechanics. Whilst the simple graphics certainly have a charm to them, the lack of variety between each area is disappointing. The in-game economy is broken, effectively crumbling Fat City's difficulty by simply allowing you to load up on power-ups. And finally, price is unfortunately an issue; $20 for a game that offers little challenge is hard to justify. There is, however, a good game in there so perhaps it is one to keep an eye out on when it becomes cheaper.

Fat City would be pretty competent if the gameplay wasn't so vapid. The puzzles would be clever if abilities didn't serve as win buttons. And the story would be interesting if it didn't cease to exist after the first 15 seconds. Sadly, despite some fleeting positives, all of these issues combine to make a puzzler that's far from meaty.
