    Man, I really liked this one! Say what you will about the gameplay, this app had oodles of style, with great effect. Highly Recommended.

    This game is absolutely brilliant. I've never played Phoenix Wright so I have no idea how it compares. That said:

    • Lovely graphics and fantastic 'Disney-esque' character designs
    • Solid gameplay, feels like a simplified card battler type game. Simple rules, but complexity in which abilities to use when/against which character.
    • Nice difficulty ramp-up, with new abilities earned at timely intevals.
    • Characters are really well voiced
    • Really funny dialog/quips in the conversations before the case.
    • Addictive "one more turn" feel
    • Individual cases only take 1-2 minutes to beat (at least in the beginning), so it's good for mobile

    EDIT: Almost forgot the brilliant Saturday Morning Cartoon style animated intro!

    Awesome, AWESOME game. Highly recommended. Really fresh and unique.

    I have not enjoyed it.
    Gameplay is not interesting for me.

    Yeah, style is present. Voice acting is good.
    But the game itself... IDK. And it is too short.

    That PW hype was really out of the place.

    Just finished the game, and I did the stupid thing of tapping the screen right after the final cutscene (
    right after the date when it shows him playing the guitar
    ). Anybody wanna tell me if anything happens after that?

    Ok so I'm giving this game a 5/5. It's that good. I've won 41 cases so far.... I just want to play more!! This game deserves a high rating because its original, polished and has great dialogue! And no IAP's. just a fantastic game.

    Since there is no Game Center, how do you keep achievements between saves? I only played one game so far and didn't max any one column out so the following is assumption since I don't want to delete my save file to redo all of this. Say I am missing an achievement like max out decadence, but I maxed out materialism in two save slots and vanity in the last. I would need a fourth save slot to get that last achievement. I am confused as to why the achievements aren't saved separate from the save slots. I would also like to know how many accessories there are and why show so many accessory slots if there aren't that many accessories? It almost seems as if that the accessory slot is pointless or misleading or confusing.

    The achievements thing needs to be fixed because there is no way to max out all three columns (decadence, materialism...) in one game nor is there a way to max out bonus's in normal and hard mode in one game and they disappear between save games.

    You should be able to go back and play all your cases and get other purchases when you finish the game. That would solve all these problems. Instead of having on vacation signs, you can go into each store and the cases are all there. Same with upgrades in the apartments and just buy one again and again. It would give it infinite replay value.

    for 3 bucks, I recommend it. Support the devs. The more people that buy this game, the better chance for more great updates. We need original games like this on iOS.

    This game is really good, and absolutely worth your three bucks.

    Well polished, and plays great. Excited at the potential of this dev.

    It was particularly hard to choose between Girls Like Robots and Devil's Attorney for GotW this week, but I had to give the nod to DA for its 80's vibe, and for having the greatest iOS game intro of all time.

    Love this game. I am on the final trial already. It was worth the money. I had a lot of fun with it. I came across a glitch yesterday where I somehow got something like 4 million action points. I took a screenshot. Needless to say, that was an easy win.
