The touch-screen interface is easy to navigate, the controls are simple, and it doesn't take long to get relatively decent results out of the item creation system. It's not the best-looking game on the DS, as the animations are pretty choppy and the work on the grid-based isometric plane feels very cheap, like a flash PC title. The music also gets really annoying after an hour or so, but the gameplay is surprisingly fun, so it's worth checking out if you enjoy the shop management sub-genre of sim titles.
