Fill Blocks- Review

Pryvitannie(Belorussian- Hey! )

Got to say, I am more a fan of RPGs and MMORPG, but also like to, like most people, every now and then I get the "Itchy" urge to relax and "tickle'' my (That is what my Geometry Teacher used to call it ) - Visualisation Eye. 
So I got introduced to one Puzzle game, what I believe needs some attention.
So, Again I will go trough the fallowing Criteria:  

  • The Graphics
  • Controls
  • Play
  • Free play Options
  • How fast You get Bored of it .

But ...(Super Intense Drum sounds)..... Introduction!

Fill Blocks

 
Developed by 
they Are New, they are Fresh, They have a huge potential!
So Some Game details
  • Size: 13M
  • Requires Android 2.3 and up 
  • Free Game play (Has in app purchases)
  • 2500 Levels (I have not got yet to the 100th)
  • Multi-player service
  • Auto Match - Play with any random player online
  • 5 difficulty Packs (Beginner, Medium, Hard, Expert, OutOfBox)
  •  Easy controls and game play.


Remember when You where a Kid, and did this amazing game - Tangram Shapes ?
I was soo dayum  good in it, We started to game on it.That time biggest thing where Pogs Pogs?-Ohh Yeah Pogs, Was Like a Pog Big Deal in those times.Made some collectors Cry ....         

And I believe Tetris Is well known by us Right?!
Why do I just mentioned these 90's Coolness things?
Because This Game  Combines Both of these.


The Graphics


* Colorful block
* Stunning graphics
That is what The Developers say. And They are not 
aggrandizing . They Seem Childishly Colorful and Puffy in the graphics, but They did not over do it.So It gives a nice Feeling for the Eye. And boosts up the mood. And as the awesome statement says, they Proved that Less can be more.
 
If I would have to rate it in a scale of 10/10
I would give 8 for the details, 8 for the creativity. 
 

Controls and Play


Easy - Pull and Drag....(see video)
But not everything is as Easy as it may seem on the first glance. The developers made it so that You start with Easy- Peazy till ....God,deamn this is a level made by The Devil...BUUUUUUURN!!!
And what is nice is that the solution is actually more easy than it seemed in the beginning.
And you can Choose the Difficulty.So they provide enough of Brain tickling relaxation . And In case if you get Stuck- Hints it is (Just wished there are more options how to gain them)

 
 But All in all a good casual Puzzle game for free time killing. From Young to Old, Fill the Blocks as if it is the best Thing in the world 
For the Developers, Compliments. They did a Good Job and I believe if they work a bit more on their PR and Marketing Strategy they could make a Break -Trough! 
I Highly Recommend it to my other mates who are looking for some nice Android fun time.
Try it , You know you want it 
and Here a nice background song of some awesome boys From Chasing the Riots

Dark Legends (Android game review)

Aloha!
Another week, another review ,for Android games, is here
This time about my favourite game Genre - MMORPG
So, Again I will go trough the fallowing Criteria:  
  • The Graphics
  • Controls
  • Play
  • Free play Options
  • Plot/Story 
  • How fast You get Bored of it .

But First- The introduction

Dark Legends (Android)
Get it here  

Developed by SpaceTime Games
And same as Hungry Shark Evo, had it since there were just a couple k players
Details :
Size: 12M
  • Requires Android:2.2 and up 
  • Free features and game play
  • Has In-App Purchases  (Does not offer free earnings)
  • Detailed 3D Graphics
  • Touch controls, 
  • Ability to personalise Your character
  • Multiplayer & Solo – Play in Co-Op, PVP (BAD THING , Does not work for 95% of the Time), or Solo Mode.
  • Can Play Android or Desktop(What is a Big Plus)
Official web Page 
 
 


The Graphics

The graphics are having a nice detailed feature, but unfortunately, not so creative on the design of the missions. (Yeah there is the Mass media platform, like in every MMORPG and a Platform for the missions, where there is a lack of creativity. The fact that the "enemy is different in every district'' does not hide the fact that the rest stays the same.) . 
But You can manage the Camera options. 
If I would have to rate it in a scale of 10/10
I would give 7 for the details, 4 for the creativity
 This one has a nice realistic preview of the actual game

Controls

As the majority of Android RPGs the movement controller is on the left (But You can change the location).
And the Ability/special power deck is on the right,
 You can only have 4 special powers
Oh and see that Round thing in the Middle? that is Your life . Only good thing is if You kill enough monsters You can use the Thirst ability to boost up Your life or use Blood packs, what You can buy in the Vampire District


Play

Same as controls also the Game play is just average,Yes in the Beginning it is interesting, but with time, because of the lack of change it becomes boring.
You have 2 platforms, where one is the Mission district 
Where You can earn EXP and Loots and Minions- those dudes on the right.
[ In the beginning I did not understood Why my Vampire had an energy bar and why there are minions, but then I got it!-
 By just doing the missions and clearing the city it takes a hell lot of time to level up, but with the help of minions You can do the trick faster .
 An the Players District, where You can meet other players
Trade, purchase Outfits (Not useful as they don't boost anything, but costs a lot of the coins), guilds and PVP (What don't work!!!and as I checked A lot of players are complaining about it.)


And Basically it becomes boring with time. So there are 2 options- Hack it or You uninstall it and install it back after some time(If You are Signed up, You will be saved in the server and be able to continue where You left )

Plot Story 

In the First Play moments You actually find the Plot interesting, It is a mix of like resident Evil, Hellsing(The manga)
You are a Vampire Who fights Bad and is looking for the "Father Figure" But the father it goes the more You understand that in  the Plot and game construction is no goals. Just a messy mash up.
I actually had the feeling the developers rushed the game release and have no plans of making  the game more up to its potentials,

Taking away another star Because I'm not being awarded my platnum anymore after downloading apps and I'm probably missing at least 80-100 this is bullshit

Keeps disconnecting It won't download the update and just keeps saying"you have been disconnected from server" whats goin on? 

This is what an action RPG for mobile should feel like. Spacetime has done pretty much everything right with this and Pocket Legends. It's hard to find a good game for mobiles. Harder to find one that so openly drop-in multiplays. Spacetime has done that again, now. Sharp controls that are in all the right spots, good graphics, and engaging gameplay. What are we missing?

Needs updates, but great game! I love this game I've been playing it for about 6 months now, and it's still one of my favorites. However, once you've completed the last level, that's it. You then just play them all over again, which I don't mind but, I would like to get new levels, challenges, graphic updates, and new powers. Other than that the game is great. 
 
 
I am not saying Dark Legends is Bad, but After playing Arcane Legends,I am disappointed. When I got it, it was still a fresh one so, It is understandable that there are problems and so, but the developers claim to have a lot of rewards, You would expect more.
Still have my hopes in it!
But for the try out, it is fun, for dark Gloomy nights.

The Mass Effect - Funny edition

Buonasera(Italian- good evening)
I love the mass effect!
It is amazing how Your brain will pick up something and categorise it in a special way only because others do so.
An example was here - why-news-will-post-bad-things 

and here good-bad 
And that goes for everything, even when we think we dont go with the mass, we still are, just a different one. And I loved the coment one of my FB.com Friends said {J.Ozols, mēs neesam personīgi pazīstami, bet tavs komentārs man tiešām tik ļoti patika, ka pat esu to izrakstījusi savā 'melnrakstu' kladē };
[Viena no cilvēka pamatvajadzībām ir būt daļai no kādas lielākas kopienas. Katrs "ES" vēlas būt kādā "MĒS".]...
translation- 
[ one of the most basic human needs is to be part of a larger community. Each of the "I" wants to be in a "WE". ]
And he is right, we are programmed to do so, 
But this time I want to drag Your attention to the funny side of mass thinking/alike thinking .

You know how the listings in Google go right? the more Clicks, the more people like it and believe it as it is .

As I love to use .gif in my Blogs I use a lot of keywords and noticed one thing- about 70% of the .gif are not what it should be, but if they are listed as the first, that means there are people who do ''the mass thing'' (I should make a video dance/ song of this :D) 
So, Let me show You 10 amusing samples where Mass thinking saved a wrong and made it a right :

10. The most useful gif ever 


Sweet Irony


 






9.Cosmic Power

 

Yes, indeed, so much power...



8.Seductive look

the Power is Strong with this one (Now I have to sleep with lights on)


7.Bad Play 


Wrong in so many ways
 
 
6. Hard Rock Dude 
 
Actually love This one

5. Worlds Neatest gif

 
Who had the imagination to make this?

4.Water Terror 

the terror has its sound-Plump....

3.Amazing

Amazing,amazing.

2.Destructive

 

Yeah I understand  the person, but to categoraze it as destructive? I imagined more like, bombings, an old greasy man with a bass guitar-chain saw thing. not KPOP in Cooper


 

1.Life is Good

As much as I love Adventure Time , But to hold it under this??? Yes well, my future is in safe hands, so positive
and there is a lot more.Funny, but it kinda also describes kinda our society, If I would be a psychologist  I would probably write books about the hidden meanings of this. But. I Am actually too lazy and it is also a bit Funny, So thank You for looking at it and have  great time ....

Hungry Shark Evolution game review- Let's Feed the Fishy

WOW!Hey !
Yeah,I am also one of those who Love to play games, and to be Honest- On a Tablet You can do it quite nicely.
So when I play a game I pay attention to:
  • The Graphics
  • Controls
  • Play
  • Free play Options
  • Plot/Story 
and How fast You get Bored of it .

So I would like to Tell You about
Hungry Shark Evolution and give a game review as it has been on my tablet for quiet some time

Hungry Shark Evolution 
Developed By Future games of London-
You can Get it here

So Let us start With the Details
  • Size-60M
  • Requires Android 4.0 and up 
  • Free features and game play
  • Has In-App Purchases (But also offers Free earnings-video)
  • Beautiful Graphics 
  • 2 Type controller- Tilt and Touch  
  • 5 Shark species to grow & upgrade(But To get the next Shark You have to pay game coins )
  • 3 extra Sharks - Ice, Robt and Electricity  
  • And more Look it up in this Link 
My Game Play
I got it when there were just some couple 'k  Downloads so I know this one for some time.

 The Graphics
As You can see, the Graphics are nice and smooth, as someone who pays much attention to such, I want to give credit for it. I loved all the small details, for all the creatures- crabs, fishes and so on, Plus the Background. Because of that it is not so Heavy on the eye while playing in long time. 
Controls
I tried Tilt,  did not work for me, as I put a lot of emotions to my game and I move from side to side while damaging everything around me, like- a cup of tea, plates, books, walls, Husbands face. 
So I changed to the Touch control that basically works like this- You put Your Finger on the screen and a virtual moving controller/circle will allow You to navigate Your shark. What Is nice is that the movements are smooth and natural, not so nice- when You are on a prey with a very Speedy Gonzales type Shark You miss a lot of prey and Die because of that .
Play
It has a lot of adventures,45missions, Hidden objects, You can buy a lot of extras for Your shark to boost it Plus they look Stylish afterwards. I would Rate it as medium for Difficulty as some tasks take time and Practice to Finish. 
Free Play Options
If You like to mess around with app type games, You probably know that the majority is like - WOW SO AWESOME, and while playing You get stuck and it becomes UN-enjoyable unless You pay or Crack the game. A good marketing Strategy- Drug Dealers do the same - 1st ride free, more will be on Your Pocket. But FGOL Actually made it possible to make the game playable and free and gave a possibility to do also the "expensive" things, just You need to spend more time on getting them. But the most important ones are easy to achieve.

Plot Story
Well there is  no plot,just swim around the ocean and spread terror. But it has amusing comments while hunting,  same with some tasks, and also some of the actions of the characters are made with some nice dark humor- I am talking about the victims
And Yeah I badly want one
A game that is cool to play when You need to Brutally destroy some of your time
and have some little fun every now and then . With Beautiful graphics dual control options and enchanting real game experience. 
This is a Game I can definitely recommend to every one.
