Mobile games. March 2013, part 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first month of spring turned out to be a time of unfulfilled hopes. Several expected games on virtual shelves did not appear, promising to debut in a month or two. However, a lot of other interesting things came out. First of all, turn on a surrealistic Year Walk<\/strong> (review in the second part of the digest), which is difficult to understand, but cannot be forgotten. Not only Valium will help to move away from it, but also Unmechanical –<\/strong> Cozy PC Platformer, looking at mobile expanses. Finally, we do not advise the owners of pocket devices on Android The Room<\/strong> and beautiful global marine strategy "Oil Rush: Marine 3D Strategy"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition, starting from this issue within the framework of the mobile digest, reviews of new browser online games will appear. The first swallow – a city dweller simulator Vircities.<\/strong> Will the henchman will solve only you. Reviews are acutely welcome!<\/p>\n

Sonic dash<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

It is difficult to say why the Sega just now decided to release their own Runner. After all, who, if not Sonic, could become the legislator of the mod in this superpopular mobile genre?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Arkada, Runner<\/p>\n

Platform:<\/strong> iOS 5.0 (iPhone 3gs, iPad and newer devices)<\/p>\n

The version of the game:<\/strong> English<\/p>\n

Developer:<\/strong> Hardlight Studios<\/p>\n

Publisher:<\/strong> Sega<\/p>\n

Cost in the App Store:<\/strong> for free<\/p>\n

Link in<\/strong> App Store<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other games of the company:<\/strong> Sonic Jump<\/strong> Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing<\/strong> Crazy Taxi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moreover, in the classic two -dimensional games from the gray -haired nineties, the Runner's mechanics already had a place to be. In bonus levels, the blue hedgehog rushed across the field in the pseudo-3D, collecting rings along the way and jumping over the obstacles. Alas, Sega has forgotten about the merits of her predecessors, and the relay was intercepted by the cult Temple Run<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As a result, the New Sonic does not dictate fashion, but only should she. The gameplay is familiar to any mobile player – a turbocharged hedgehog rushes along an endless narrow rut, performs tackles, jumps over obstacles, accelerates and becomes invulnerable for a short time. Controlled by fingers on the screen. Has become an obligatory opportunity to control some movements by a gyroscope for some reason. There are no sharp turns for ninety degrees. Only a direct "pipe".<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Diversify the process of "dead loops" and huge abysses over the water surface. The latter serve as a transition between levels. The principle \u201cTake more, throw further, rest while flies\u201d works excellently: after a tense race, a second flight allows you to take a breath. The main thing is to fly to the new firmament. Sometimes for this you need to make a couple of additional strokes with your finger. There is no need to wait for unusual levels. Green grass is replaced by white marble, and blockages of palm trees in the way – collapsed columns.<\/p>\n

Another danger is local inhabitants, old familiar robots-crabs, for example. The hedgehog copes with them, however, habitually: it turns off with a kalachik and crashes with all his strength, clearly demonstrating the law of preservation of the impulse.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It will not do without other familiar heroes – Tales, Nakles and Amy Rose, which open for money. The most offensive is the devaluation of gold rings, the ball is ruled by red stars and a wooden ruble. In a built -in store you can buy accelerators, first -aid kits and other understandable and hedgehogs, but the amount for sets of goods reach 2000 rubles. Crazy price list, given the cost of the game – 33 rubles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Journey to Hell<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The forces of the notorious mobile publisher Bulkypix finally reached the long -building from Dogbox studio. Hooray?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Action, a third -party action movie<\/p>\n

Platform:<\/strong> iOS 4.0 (iPhone 3gs, iPad and newer devices)<\/p>\n

The version of the game:<\/strong> Rus<\/p>\n

Developer:<\/strong> Dogbox<\/p>\n

Publisher:<\/strong> Bulkypix<\/p>\n

Cost in the App Store:<\/strong> 129 rub.<\/p>\n

According to game mythology, humanity has been fighting with varying success for many decades against undead from the underworld. The last alarming bell came from Sunny Texas. The Holy Shield – a non -profit military organization specializing in the extermination of rotten skeletons – sends one of its best fighters to the conflict zone.<\/p>\n

There will be a sworn man with a bald eye and a harsh gaze or a curly brown -haired man – choose you. Heroes do not differ, combat portraits from the main menu are illusion. The characters are able to only overthrow and shoot at the devilish hordes. The only serious difference between them is that the main character invisingly swaying the ass while walking. It distracts a little from the process, but does not change anything.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The fighters of the \u201cshield\u201d cope with the duties of their hands badly, and the fault is not very convenient management. There is only one \u201ccorrect\u201d option for setting up virtual buttons, the fashion function of dragging the elements of the interface on the screen is not provided for. There is no interaction with the game through the gyroscope. It is difficult to aim – a sight the size of a pea. An accurate shot – a rarity and usually a pure accident. The wayward virtual button does not contribute to a comfortable game. With double touching, for some reason she unfolds the hero one hundred and eighty degrees, substituting his back with the claws of undead.<\/p>\n

In addition to standard low-sympathetic zombies, the local fauna is represented by a monster-girdya, a sword, a legless slider and other guys, with whom no one wants to be friends. The final of each of the ten stages is marked by the battle with the boss. You don\u2019t have to study habits and look for special approaches, the principle for everyone is one: to see small pain points on the body and plant several clips in them. Arsenal is great, but does not shine with diversity and ingenuity. Sorry. Any cacti with a plutonian charge or (what, also an idea) vibrators with teeth would fit perfectly into the style of the game.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

After the completion of the campaign (the plot is served through a not very dynamic slide show), you will be offered to try out the modes \u201cTreasure Hunter\u201d and \u201cSurvival\u201d. The names say for themselves. In the first, you need to look for all kinds of usefulness at already familiar levels, in the second – to fight off the waves of attacking. It can hardly be interested in for a long time, especially since the main dish is prepared according to a similar recipe. Each level is limited from all over the arena, which will not be given to leave until the streams of undead are dried up. Or character's vital forces.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ridiculous Fishing – A Tale of Redemption<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Independent indie developers from VLAMBEER have been working on a reprint for iOS widely known in particularly narrow circles of Flash-Hyrandical Fishing. During this time, he managed to erupt and subside a scandal between the developers and the Gamenauts studio. The latter without a twinge of conscience spied the game mechanics in the original \u201cflash drive\u201d and implemented in Ninja Fishing. The more interesting it was to find out how the developers in Ridiculous Fishing could answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genre :<\/strong> Arkada, fishing<\/p>\n

Platform:<\/strong> iOS 5.0 (iPhone, iPad and newer devices)<\/p>\n

The version of the game:<\/strong> English<\/p>\n

Developer:<\/strong> VLAMBEER<\/p>\n

Publisher:<\/strong> VLAMBEER<\/p>\n

Cost in the App Store:<\/strong> 99 rub.<\/p>\n

The visual component was precisely made up. A blurry caricature picture of the original Radical Fishing has found its style-pixel art game is very to the face. In the spirit of verified minimalism, the sound is worked out.<\/p>\n

The concept has not changed – before us is a cross between arcade fishing and the same hunt, in the spirit Duck Hunt<\/strong>. The fisherman Billy is trying to get away from life problems and troubles, devoting himself to extreme fishing. What was stuck in the poor fellow on the Great Earth is not known, the main thing is that in the sea he has a boat, fishing rod and shotgun.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Touching the screen throw a fishing rod. While the coil is spinning, we shake the mobile gadget, leading the hook away from small fish. The best bite and the most oily fish are at a depth. We catch a couple, wrap the fishing line, get the fish. The usual fishing on this would end, but Billy is the inventor. He throws up fish in order to have a well -aimed volley from a shotgun (with simple fingertips) to turn the entire catch into minced meat. We do not know how delicious ear is from this minced meat, and it doesn\u2019t matter. The main thing is caution. Medus is better to avoid.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In order for the "fishing ott" to argue, you will have to actively pump. Earn game dollars (microtransactions are completely absent!) and spend on longer fishing lines, the best bait, new weapons and fishing uniforms can be endlessly. In the Chinese floating fishing store, toasters are presented, melting fish with electricity, drill-melting, cutting the sea fauna right in the water, chainsaws and God knows what else. With proper zeal, Billy will turn from a loser into a dashing pirate, and a holey dish will be replaced by a luxurious VIP-plate.<\/p>\n

Despite the well-written fishing and reference gameplay, there is nothing more to do in the game. Proofing a dozen fish and buzz from this process, you are most likely to launch one of the last Gameloft militants. Or leave the subway car at your station.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Unmechanical<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Last year, Teotl Studios released a chamber adventure about a small robot with a propeller on the crown on PC, which was based on three whales: physics resembling Newtonon (but still distant), the ability of the robot to attract objects with a light beam and an abundance of puzzles. Now – and on the "apple" gadgets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Arkada, logic<\/p>\n

Platform:<\/strong> iOS 4.0 (iPhone 3gs, iPad and newer devices)<\/p>\n

The version of the game:<\/strong> Rus<\/p>\n

Developer:<\/strong> Teotl Studios, Talawa Games<\/p>\n

Publisher:<\/strong> Teotl Studios, Talawa Games<\/p>\n

Cost in the App Store:<\/strong> 99 rub.<\/p>\n

There are very few levels. From the moment when the protagonist is pulled out of the pack and dragged into the dungeons, three, well, five hours will pass to one of two possible interchanges. Depending on your ability to think.<\/p>\n

There is no one to shoot at, and therefore it is impossible to die. Only occasionally there are peacefully tuned robots involved in their everyday robotel. It will not work to chat with them, and the main character is laconic. Except for mournful squeaks at the time of impact on the obstacle, you will not hear anything from him. But there is an opportunity to read his thoughts-subscriptions.<\/p>\n

And yet you will have to sit in the pose of the thinker. Each of the five stages is a collection of puzzles. The most part of them will be the search for energy plasmoid spheres that feed the giant biomechanical heart, which gives the life of the entire underground system. To get them, we will play with a press that rhythmically tamping the remains of mechanisms into briquettes, in the \u201cGuess the Melody\u201d, to decorate futuristic coloring and perform many other useful and not so things.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

New puzzles, when compared with the PC version, did not appear. But by what is, they increased the degree of difficulties or provided them with several ways of solving. In addition, they corrected critical mistakes that forced to reboot the game, but, alas, not all. Energy ball, sent on a trip through a pneumatic wir, for example, can still get stuck in it. The situation is saved by automatic conservations that occur even more often than corruption scandals in our country.<\/p>\n

In the chest of the game is still beating Unreal Engine 3<\/strong> , Reding 2.5D cropping. However, the frequency of contractions of the main muscle has become clearly less often. The picture faded and lost many visual effects. There was no trace of the game of light and shadow. The flashlight in the forehead of the \u201cMetal Carlson\u201d no longer illuminates the surrounding space and has turned into a lifeless white point, and underwater stages catch up.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Management adaptation as a whole was successful if you forget about monstrous virtual buttons. By default, the game offers to direct the character by touching any point of the screen, and launch a light beam with touches to the robot itself. And it is this option that is optimal. Betti Casino<\/a> And if the hero grabbed an excessively heavy or overall load, you will feel it. The severity effect is transmitted very believable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Migratory birds<\/p>\n

The Room<\/strong> – A nightmare for a person suffering from claustrophobia and a find for a fan of complex atmospheric puzzles. FireProof Games<\/strong> conquered the owners of gadgets on iOS with her game, and now I re -released the project on Android. The task has not changed – to get out of the locked room, deciding a dozen cunning puzzles and hacking a dozen caskets. Visual style and musical design create a chilling soul atmosphere. The rare case when a game for a mobile device is close to art.<\/p>\n

Price The Room<\/strong> In App Store and Google Play: 66 rub. \/ 61 rub. 69 kopecks. Link to App Store and Google Play<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A pleasant trend has been traced recently: cantilever games of four- or five years ago move to modern pocket devices. In March High Voltage Software<\/strong> Issued The Conduit<\/strong> on Android, supplying high resolution. Previously, the game wore a proud exclusive title for WII. There was no new content with a move, but the game is pretending to be free (mission will have to be bought in the internal menu). To start, you need a modern mobile device with Tegra 3.<\/p>\n

A hellish cocktail from steampunk and wild West. Experienced Warrior William Glaston returns to his native outback to lead the calm life of the alcoholic farmer. However, instead of a hoe and a glass of whiskey, a revolver again falls into his hands – unknown creatures attacked the city. BladesLinger<\/strong> – A rather mediocre action movie in the spirit of the console Damnation<\/strong>. On iOS, the game was very quickly lost in the stream of hits, but maybe Android users will like?<\/p>\n
