Jumping Line Review - Don't Judge The Book by Its Cover

Image
I must admit if I'm pretty sceptic when I saw this game, it has a nice description but the graphic was so so in my mind. Moreover, I read if this game got 93/100 based on voted at Desura. Then, I'm wondering how can? Hmm, now I'm curious enough to buy the game. However, there's other game which intriguing my eyes too, they like to said "Buy me, buy me". Man, the most annoying thing in my life is keep my game budget as tight as possible :') pretty sad since I'm still a student and I don't have too much money to buy every games that I want. Alright enough for the introduction. Several days ago, I just saw the game was free for a week, wow... yeah.. I'm so lucky.. Downloading now... Alright the game has really really simple graphic, but don't let the graphic deceive you, the gameplay isn't as simple as you might think. It might has the simple concept but it execute very decent. Imagine that you become a dancing line, then you should j

Bacon Game Review - Can a Vegetarian Play This?

Image
I must admit if I'm a Vegetarian and I feel guilty for playing this game... LOL. Of course no, Bacon the game is 100% safe to be played for everyone even if you're a vegetarian. Alright, Bacon the Game is a drawing game like Impossible Line , but this one has more complicated and challenging levels. I bet there's no animal was harmed for making of this game. However, I think the dev should add the option to change the bacon into carrot for vegetarian player like me in the next update ;) You will play as a plane and your main goal is collect all the bacons in every level. Drawing is looks so easy at the first time. You just need to draw the line at first then press the "play" button and let your plane moves properly through the line. However, an easy game won't give anything fun for the players. That's why there's always something challenging inside the game. 100% Safe to be Played for Vegetarian... Bacon Game gives some obstacles, such

Please Note: This Review was made based on the first version of the game. The actual game might have been changed much now. Regarding the control, the game has better control option now and it's one of my favorite game on 2013. Don't believe my said?  Prove it here ;) Thanks It started with a beautiful opening scene, with a short touching story. You're a deleted/ died video game character but you want to figure out the peace before being deleted forever.  You don't want to be died now, and fortunately you got a second chance to life more longer. You woke up with 6 ram (lives) and 30 foo (money). Then, you will travel with a truck from one town to another town. Once you arrived at a town, you will meet several strangers. Talk to some strangers, some of them will sell an entry for room or they can give you important information. That's why reminds what have you read, and keep your attention because sometimes there's a trap behind the door. There&#

Mini Ini Mo Review - Because Teamwork is Important

Image
A friendship can't be shown by words only but also from its behaviors. Mini Ini Mo is a game about how should a friend be. Gilp Studio as the developer of this game tried to show us how teamwork is important in this game. Yes, at least that's the main lesson which I could learn from this game. In short story, far far away deep in the forest... There were 3 friendly creatures. One day, they found a yummy apple was hanging on the tree. They saw that and picked it without thinking. Unfortunately, it's a trap but here where the actual journey just begin. At the first time, you will play as Mini (the bird creature) only. Mini has ability to turn on/ off the switch and as far as you play, you will rescue your other friends, Ini (the monkey) and Mo (the big lump). Each creature has different abilities. Ini can jump from one platform to other nearby platform, and Mo can eat the boxes, barrels, etc and many other abilities can be revealed during the play. With their differ

Luxuria Superbia Review - Unusual Journey

Image
It's bit awkward for me to play this game for the first time. I found something unusual, weird, strange here. Not caused by the music nor the gameplay but the text inside this game... Yes, those texts inside really made me feel "pervert" to play this game.. wut... heck no. I have no idea what's the story behind Tale of Tales for making this kind of game. No story, no enemies... it's all about pleasure. At first, let me say if you should read the instruction or you won't get any feel to play this game. Here's the short description about this game: A flower always starts out colorless. But when you touch it, color fills the tunnel. Stay in the glowing flower as long as possible! Play slowly and gently to get a high score. Just pushing through as fast as you can will result in failure. The game wants you to take it easy and be playful. Sounds simple.. huh? Yeah, but that's not the point of this game... Re

The Dreamcatcher Review - Finger Rolling Defense Game

Image
Tower Defense/ Castle defense is one of the most popular genre at the App Store. Don't know what is that? Let's said Kingdom Rush, Fieldrunner, Anomaly 2, etc. They're the example of Tower Defense game. The Dreamcatcher by Sunnyside Interactive is another example of tower defense game. However, it's not a pure tower defense game. This is more into strategy defense game. You will help Anoki to protect the three dreaming camps here. All you need to do is protect the camps from the monsters. For doing that, draw a circle with your finger around the monsters. Draw it continously until the monsters disappear. However, you have limited energy here so pay attention with your energy too. If the monster reach the dream, it'll become a bad dream. You will game over if all of your dreams became the bad dreams. ... Keep your finger rolling Beside drawing the circle, sometimes you need to swipe too. Such as when you face the Goo Ball or other special enemies. To help you

Morphopolis Review - Beautiful Art, Relaxing Game

Image
It's has been a long time since the last time I played Hidden Object game. I've been so bored with almost all hidden object games have similar gameplay and puzzle aspect nowadays. Until last week, I've been lucky enough can found this little gem. Morphopolis, a game which developed by  Micro Macro Games was a game with great combination between hidden object, adventure and puzzle aspect. There's no story like in fairy tale inside, but let me tell you why you should get this game. In your first time playing, there'll be brief tutorial about how to play the game. As long as you play the game, you should learn and found anything inside by yourself. Don't be too rush, this is not a game with timer nor enemies. You should explore everything with relax. I admit that I interest the game because its art. If you think art is the only value from this game, you might be wrong. I found the mind-boggling puzzle game accompanied with ambient soundtracks inside.

Deadly Bullet Review - Watch out! Enemies is Everywhere

Image
There're so many shooter games in the AppStore or Google Play nowadays, and you might think shooter game is shmup or FPS/ TPS game only. However, Monobrowgames tried to bring a cool way to implement a shooter game. The game might be feels weird at the first time, but for me this is a game that you must try. Deadly Bullet isn't an ordinary shooter game. Yes, in general this game is include in shooter category but it's bit different. May be, there's already similar game like this outside there which I didn't know, but come on friends... just forget it for a while and let's see what's inside this game. In short story, you worked in organization called Deadly Bullet. This isn't a superhero story who looking for justice, help some people, or something. However, in here your main goal is to eliminate all of the enemies without exception. You will play as a single bullet, walk? ehmm.. no. You will fly through the enemies and killed them. For the first

Duet Game Review - Not Impossible, Just Need More Efforts

Image
If we talk about duet, what's on your mind? Duet singers, twin sisters, etc? Today, I'll talk about a Duet game. Well, Duet Game which was developed by Kumobius can be one of the hardest game I ever play on iOS. For me, it's a game about harmony and effort. Like its title, Duet game will forced you to play as two balls together. They were connected by a circle ring. For controlling them, you can tap the left or the right screen. The ring will be rotated following your instruction. So, what's your enemies here? It's easy actually, you only face some blocks.. Yes, static and rotating blocks. However, marks my said now... It isn't easy as you might think. At least for the first time. You need to master the controls at first. It's not a fast game nor a slow game, the one who make it fast or slow was you. You're the one who decide your own path on this game. There're 9 stages on this game consist of 5-8 levels in average. The levels here call

Hookball Review - How Long Can You Survive From This Game?

Image
Honestly, I never played ZiGGURAT before. Hookball is a game which inspired by ZiGGURAT, I won't compared both of these games and said if one of them was a clone or something, I don't have any right for doing like that. The developer, Nachobeard clearly said if the game was inspired by ZiGGURAT, Noitu Love 2 and the "coffee break" game in Mario Paint. So, enough for the intro and let's move to see the gameplay of the game. Actually, you won't be feel too hard for playing this game since the tutorial was clearly enough to be learned. However, let me tell you about the control of the game once again. Your main goal here is survive as long as you can. You have 2 challenges here.. No, may be more.. but the focus are 2; first be careful of the enemies, second watch out for the timer. In conclusion, you need to survive as long as you can without getting hurt? Hmm, really :P You will be a flying man here, but you don't have wings bro.. you need to h
