Snailboy - Is this a Game or a Movie?

By -
When I see the trailer for the first time, I think I was watching a DISNEY movie trailer. It made me so excited to see the actual movie. Unfortunately, my thought was wrong. It's a puzzle game... Yes, buddy it's a game... A game which developed by Thoopid, indie developers from Cape Town, South Africa.

Snailboy is an unique physics based puzzle game. Wait... did I just say physics? Don't worry friend, this one absolutely not an angry bird game. The game might uses 'catapult' concept, but definitely not an angry bird game. That has been a long time ago. Now, it's time for a snail to prove his existence as a hero.

Play as a snail which looking for justice? No no... not that... He looking for his perfect shells. All of his precious shells has been gone. Help him to bring back his shells.
The game is so easy to be played. You just need to pull, set aim for flinging the snailboy. You need to collect all the apples as quick as possible if you want to get 3 stars. Get the shell to unlock the next stages. Be careful with those spikes, bees, and bugs. It'll make you died.



So, what are you looking for from a physics game? Jump? Snailboy can jump. Slap? Yes, he can do that too, just swipe to make him walks.. slow swipe for small slap, fast swipe for big slap... but remember, he is a snail so he walks slower than you :P and the last one... Slide.. For doing that, you need to stick the snailboy in the mossy part, and he'll do the 'slide action'. Unfortunately, as a Superhero he can't fly... He's too fat for doing that. It'll be more cool if he can fly. LOL.

As you can see in the screenshots, I can't complain anything about the graphic. It looks great in my eyes. The background feels as good as DISNEY movie. Like I have said before, I think it's a movie not a game :P.
I was lucky enough can try this game before it's released.

The game consists of more than 40 levels and was planned to be released on iOS, Android also OUYA. The iOS version will be released at September 2013, Android will follow shortly after. About the price, I haven't know yet. Probably, about $1.99 - 2.99, but who knows. I'll confirm again once I got more info.

The game is out at App Store now. You can download it for $1.99 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...
