This review of Shopkins:Welcome to Shopville contains the following information:
This app does not contain levels but was reviewed through all available mini games.
Shopkins: Welcome to Shopville is an app that is based around the Shopkins characters, where the player can play four mini games.
Shopkins: Welcome to Shopville includes four mini games based around the Shopkins' franchise. All of the games are click and drag. In each game, if you complete the task correctly the player is rewarded with coins. When you have enough coins you can win a Shopkins character. The aim of the app is to collect all of the characters.
The first location is the Cupcake Store, where a Shopkins character asks for a specific cupcake and the player must replicate the cupcake by clicking on ingredients. The second location is the Shopkins Store where the player must swipe to try and throw Shopkins food characters into a shopping basket. The basket moves back and forth, therefore the player must continually adjust their swiping aim. The third location is Homewares, where the player must click and drag Shopkins appliance characters into the door that matches their colour. The last location is the Candy Store where candy falls from the ceiling and the player must try and catch a certain type of candy by swiping the basket.
The app games are based around shopping, however, no in-app purchasing was found.
