Flappy Golf Review
Cats have nine lives, but birds live forever. At least, that's the impression you might get from the tsunami of Flappy Bird clones that washed onto the App Store and Google Play once Dong Nguyen's original flapper took its leave.Most Flappy Bird clones attempt to carry on what Nguyen began, which is why we have dozens - maybe hundreds - of games about getting a bird (or a fish, or a dragon, or a tiny butt) to fly through various objects. There have been more than enough Flappy Bird facsimiles to fill the void left by the original, but Noodlecake Studios gets a gold star for actually evolving the original Flappy Bird with Flappy Golf.Flappy Golf essentially cross-breeds Flappy Bird's physics with the golf courses from the already-released Super Stickman Golf 2, a hit "extreme golf" game from Noodlecake. But whereas Super Stickman Golf 2 challenges you to hit the ball into the cup, in Flappy Golf, you are the ball (meditate on that, why don'tchya).
Knights of Puzzelot Review
It would be easy to dismiss Knights of Puzzelot as "just" another match-3 puzzle game, and I Yet while the core mechanics aren't all that different from anything else you might have already played, if you dig a little deeper you'll find a surprisingly addictive little puzzle game/RPG hybrid.Things aren't looking too good after a really big and nasty dragon goes on a rampage and torches the entire kingdom of Puzzelot. Fortunately you're around to fix it all up. As one of the Knights of Puzzelot you'll be able to explore dangerous caverns and spooky dungeons, stumble upon loot, fight monsters, and earn gold.The gold you earn is required for rebuilding the kingdom, and many of the structures you'll be putting back together will allow you to spend your earnings on upgrading your equipment as well. However, unlike some other RPG/match-3 combinations out there, you won't be solving puzzles for every single task. Instead you'll only have to worry about matching up swords, shields, gold, and so on when you're fighting monsters - and trying to open the occasional locked chest.
Snoopy’s Sugar Drop Review
The Peanuts gang has been making people smile for more than sixty years now, and Snoopy, its popular pooch, can seemingly sell anything. That's what the Schultz estate and developer Beeline Interactive is banking on anyway, having created a match-three game mobile called Snoopy's Sugar Drop.The Sugar Drop's weakness is its gameplay, which clearly hops on the Candy Crush bandwagon. Its strength, though, is its charming Peanuts-themed aesthetic.The narrative framework for Snoopy's Sugar Drop is a hunt for Snoopy's bow-making sister Belle who has recently gone missing. Players help Snoopy find clues to Belle's whereabouts by matching three or more cute, Peanuts-themed candies. The candies add some much-needed distinctiveness to the game and are cleverly conceived as baseball mitts, footballs, pianos, doghouses and Woodstock-heads. Beeline further augments the Peanuts motif by creating match blockers shaped like crackers and paw prints.
The Last Tinker: City of Colors Review
While 3D platformers in the vein of "collectathon" classics like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 have faded over the past two console generations (if you're looking for slap-stick 3D platformers it's basically just the Ratchet and Clank and the Sly Cooper franchises keeping the tradition alive), there are a number of independent game developers currently working on games designed with this nostalgic style in mind. Leading the charge of the resurgence is Mimimi Productions with their 3D platforming adventure, The Last Tinker: City of Colors.Debatably, what led to the decline of the old collectathon games was how tedious they became after awhile. Finding every golden puzzle piece or golden banana felt like a chore, and players were literally locked out of new areas until they scrapped previous areas clear of these golden collectables. The Last Tinker deals with this issue simply by not forcing players to find the golden paint brushes that are hidden within the game's environments.
KeroBlaster Review
KeroBlaster is a side-scrolling action game designed by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya - the man behind the action indie hit Cave Story. Though it's ten years old, Cave Story is still widely regarded as one of the greatest action games of all time. Concocting a worthy follow-up act couldn't have been an easy task for Amaya, and it probably explains why KeroBlaster has been subject to delays.Happily, KeroBlaster is worth the wait. Though it aesthetically resembles Cave Story, KeroBlaster is unmistakably its own adventure thanks to an emphasis on shooting (tons of it) and jumping instead of exploration.Best of all, the action is driven by what's arguably the most responsive control scheme for a mobile game yet. It's not quite perfect, but it's darn near close.
The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 3 – In Harm’s Way Review
My biggest issue with The Walking Dead Season Two premiere was how similar it felt to the first season's opener. Clementine started with a companion of sorts, encounters an emergency, meets some people, and then chooses to let one live or die. It had elements that set it apart from Lee Everett's original story, but it largely seemed like Clementine was literally, not just figuratively, mimicking his legacy.Now, between the second and third installments of season two, things have definitely diverged.My description of the first episode mirrors the rest of the game's first season. There was wandering around, getting into bad situations, but not a definite plot. The meandering felt more dramatic and less dramatized. It was a story of survivors simply surviving. The "plot" was Lee and Clem's developing father/daughter relationship, not an external conflict.
Maleficent Free Fall Review
Maleficent is the chief bad girl of Disney's Sleeping Beauty. She's best known for her subtle horn-shaped headdress, throwing a hissy fit over not being invited to baby Aurora's christening, and transforming into a dragon when she gets really mad (let's be honest with ourselves: We only hate her because we're jealous).Maleficent's titular movie aims to portray the classic villain as misunderstood, not evil. It seems terrible circumstances turned Maleficent's heart to stone, making her resentful and bitter. The film's premise is interesting and thought provoking. Unfortunately, Maleficent Free Fall is neither.Like Frozen Free Fall before it, Maleficent Free Fall is a match-three game based on the latest hot Disney property. And, like its predecessor, Maleficent Free Fall is a bog-standard puzzler that contributes nothing in the way of new ideas or even basic charm to the genre.
Aerena: Clash of Champions Review
Aerena is a free-to-play game of strategy, where being two moves ahead of your opponent is the key to victory, much like Chess. But where Chess is a medieval-themed game, with knights and kings and queens, Aerena (or Ærena as the developers sometimes spell it) is a silly blend of steampunk and Saturday morning cartoons.With players selecting three out of ten characters as their champions, they must do their best to destroy the enemy player's massive battleship. Where chess is a calm game of strategy, Aerena is more akin to a Monster Truck Show, with champions blasting one another to pieces all while an announcer shouts out the entrances of additional champions to the fight.The reasoning for the titular "arena" misspelling is apparent as soon as the battlefield is glimpsed. Taking place in the aether, or Æther (get it now?), of the realm, the conflict is high above the earth, literally within the clouds. Each player has their own giant warship (currently there are five in the game to choose from) and must destroy their opponent's ship in the ensuing battle.
