Forma 8 - A mystic adventure game for iOS

By -
I like the game who has great atmosphere and bring some pleasure though I just seen it in glance. Forma 8, probably one who could hooked me up when I saw the trailer at the first time. Mixed Bag has been developed this since 2011, hopefully we can see the actual game soon.



The game might has same background story similar like other atmosphere adventure game. Stranded in strange universe, and try to survive or escape from that odd world also looking for some answers from mind-boggling puzzle aspect are the main feature of this game. I wonder what's the new features inside the game, I'm 100% sure there'll be a secret for the main key that make this game different from other.

As seen in the video, you'll play as a living ball like creature. You'll start your journey, lands in strange world. There are so many different environments inside, in my opinion it's looks like an electric factory or may be an abandoned company. Not just like that, there're desert, under sea, etc. I have no idea about the control, but definitely it'll use multi-touch control. May be tap or drag to move the character, and some other control to defend yourself/ attack the enemy. 


I doubt if the ball just run away from the enemies. As seen in the video, the ball can dodge the enemies also destroy them. There are many items such as bombs which can be used to destroy the enemies.Wait... is that enemy or... allies? Who know... Ah... I wish I can try this game now XD
For the graphic, it's really well deserved. It's bit similar like Badland, but this one is more flat and simple. However, I like the abstract scenes inside the game. 

The layers arranged perfectly, the color blends well. It's not in black-n-white like Limbo, nor black-glowing colorful like Badland. However, it's really show the artistic part of the game. Geometric shapes is well-blended behind the main stages. Color is not too light not too dark, not pastel nor glowing.... It can't be said in words. Okay, I'll let you judge it by yourself.



I have no idea, when this will be release nor the price of this game. If you want to know further informations, visit the official website here. The developer also has released their another game, Futuridium EP. It's an unique fast paced shmup with modern twist and amazing 3D graphics. More information about Futuridium, visit here.

Intake: Be Aggressive Short Review - Seriously Addictive as Drug

Intake is one of the game that declare to be aggressive, at first I might asking myself. Who should become the aggressive one? Us (as players) or the game itself? One more, the game also called itself as a shmup game but I don't think it's suitable, well... at least for the first time playing. Intake is a fast paced arcade 'tap tap' game. Yes, it's more like a tap tap game rather than a shmup game. It can be a shmup game too, but later after you unlocked the special mode. Be Aggressive Fortunately, being a tap tap game isn't a bad thing for Intake game. Actually, it's more enjoyable than a usual rhythm tap tap game. In this game, you must tap all the pills which has the same color with your color power. You can change your color power by tapping color bar in the bottom of the screen. As you can see, there's an indicator on the top of the screen which showing the remaining pills which you should tap in each level. Everytime you tap the right pills, yo...

I know this question may sounds weird and unimportant for some people. However, sometimes I'm wondering what's on your mind when you buying a mobile game. Do you always compare the playtime/ quality/ other thing with the money that you spent on it? Or you just let it go and feels like a little way to support indie developer? May be yes, may be no. So actually how much does a mobile game should be cost? Here is my opinion about how much a mobile game (iOS/ Android) should be priced. First, let's see how much in average a PC game cost.. Five until ten dollars. Then, see how much a mobile game cost in average... one until two dollars. Actually I don't see any difference why the mobile games are being so cheap in price? I believe the development cost may cheaper than a PC game did, but while we talk about effort, doesn't it feel same? The value (not money) but the game's soul, the heart which given by the developer on it. However, still most of mobile user t...

Edifier x Mosum X3 TWS Earphone Review

By -

Unfortunately, it's not a review about the game, this will be my first review for TWS earbuds. I was looking for cheap TWS that cost less than 45 USD but it should have better sound or at least equals quality with my Skull Candy headset, sounds impossible, huh? We can't deny the fact, that nowadays the smartphone doesn't have a 3.5 mm port anymore. This is a fcking serious problem for me, I still have this port in my Honor 9, but how long, I mean how many more years until I replaced this phone with the new one? Guess 1-2 years or so. Actually deep in my mind, cable headset has better quality with the same range price, but this port issue might happen to me in the future. Moreover, my previous headset was enough for 5 years of usage before its mic eventually broke :(. So, I need to rethink this carefully. In the beginning, I wish to buy 1More headset dual driver, but after several considerations, I paid 32 USD for my Edifier x Mosum TWS from Lazada, quite cheap for a TWS ear...
