The level to which the game was reviewed

The game was played for several hours

App description

Little Shop 2 requires players to collect the Little Shop 2 mini collectables by making purchases at Coles. Players are to collect as many ‘collectables’ as possible and scan each one in to the app. Each collectable unlocks a ‘Little Dancer’, with 30 to collect, each with its own Little Dancer. The more mini collectables players have, the more Little Dancers players can unlock. Once the mini collectables have been scanned and Little Dancers unlocked, players can click play game. Players then select the Little Dancer they wish to use and control its dancing by waiting for the dance moves to line up with the centre of the screen, then swiping or tapping in motions across the screen to make their character dance. Once the dance has finished, players are presented with the option to either save their video to gallery or share their video to social media platforms.

Reviewers comments

Whilst Little Shop 2 does not include any content that should be concerning for younger players, parents are reminded that in order to play the game, purchases must be made at Coles to receive the Little Shop 2 Mini Collectable items. The game cannot be played without these mini collectables, which may prove inconvenient for parents. In addition, online connectivity includes the easily accessible Coles Website where Little Shop 2 merchandise can readily be purchased.
