Online game review: Layoff

This review is about the online, free to play game by the name of "Layoff" which uses similar game mechanics to those such as Candy Crush or Bejewled  but with a twist.
The game while staying true to its switch and match 3 of same theme is based around a large problem in reality: Unemployment. I found the game simple to play, with the rules clearly shown at the beginning of the game. It's a game made out of pixel art making it appealing to me with so many small details to each icon.

Things I liked most:

1. The pixel/8-bit style to it
2. It brings attention to real life problems. When you play a game you generally play it to have fun and escape reality.
3. Detailed.

Things I didn't like.

1. It gives you a reality check as mentioned in the positives.
2. It wasn't really challenging and the game mechanic itself got dull

Graphics = 5/10

Music = 3/10

Story = 2/10

Content = 4/10

Controls = 5/10

Overall I found that the game was a unique concept which taught you the truths behind how unemployment works. The bankers survive and the regular everyday people with any other jobs can be turned unemployed just so that the company saves money.
