Luxuria Superbia Review - Unusual Journey

By -
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... Read that fourth sentence once again... Play slowly and gently to get a high score. I just abandoned this instruction at first, until I aware of something really.. really... mmm.. "You make me disappointed" "Let's do this again!" Wait... is this just me.. or it sounds like... hmmm *if you know what i mean...
as long as you play the game, you will read some unusual texts such as "Touch me", "Suck my berries", "Desire Me", "I give you everything". 

Enjoy unusual journey...


Well, nothing wrong with all of those messages... However, you read those messages while playing this game... and  you touch, touch and slide the screen like... That's weird for me.. but hey.. may be, I should repair my brain now... lol Alright, forget what I've said above (*I'm bit crazy after finished my exams)


Luxuria Superbia is a simple pleasure experience game. There're 12 levels inside this game. The next level will be unlocked once you got one circle (Bronze plate) in the previous level. However, it's not as quick as you might think. There's such as a gazebo with 12 pillars. It's showed the levels inside the game, and each pillar represent one color. Start from pink color and ended in dark purple. Everytime you play the game (level), you will fill the pillar with the level's color but it's not an easy step. At least, you should play 3-4 times with golden plate score to full fill the pillar.

Kiss Me... Touch Me.. Press Me...


The one that make Luxuria Superbia is very unique is the idea behind it. You need to color all the flower's walls but at the same time you may not play this too quick or you'll be failed. For the control, you just need to touch or slide (swipe). It supports multi-touch control, so use all your fingers (no.. just 4-6) to play this game easier, but remember... just enjoy your journey.. don't be too rush or you won't get anything. You should stay at the coloring wall and let the score increase by itself.


Jump over the buds by touching at them too and here the weird thing appear once again.. It's still okay if you see flower, bee, butterfly, tree inside a flower tunnel.. but how about candle, cake, owl, dolphin, until windows... yeah, it's unreasonable for me... can't imagine all of those things inside a flower. Hello... Miss.. wake up... it's a game, where anything is possible inside the game. The game is stopped when all of the walls have been colored by you. Anyway, I found a pretty funny text.. when you play the game too long.. Here's the text "You make me exhausted". Duh bro, what I've done to you? You make me feel guilty.. :P

In conclusion, actually Luxuria Superbia isn't a game... It's more about an experience and pleasure. An unusual journey which can't be said by words. It's not for everyone too, but if you curious enough to feel the pleasure inside, you should check this game for sure ;)

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

[Opinion] How Much Actually A Mobile Game Should Be Priced?

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
