Progress - A Mind Boggling Game About Manipulating Your Device

By -

Progress is a game that attract my interest from the beginning. You might underestimate this game just because it has too simple appearance. However, once you watched the trailer I bet if you will be curious enough to know more about this game. I saw Progress for the first time on Pocket Gamer site and already put that game into my watchlist. Few weeks ago, when I browse on TA forum as usual, I just saw a thread about this game and said if it looking for some testers.

Guess what? Of course, I signed up without even thinking twice. Just as my guess, the game is brilliant even since my first play. I can tell you if Progress really amaze me and made me say :'Wow.. Cool.. How can.. Well done...' almost for each level inside. As you can see above, you may think if I'm too exaggerate about this game. In fact, I'm not lying Progress is a genius game I ever played this year. It might not has a sweet visual as Monument Valley did, but it brings a great experiment like what a good game should be.


The experience I had during my play time made me smile, laugh, also wondering at the same time. I really admiring the uniqueness and originality 'quest' of this game. For example: at first you might only tap, tap and hold, tilt, or flip your device only. However, the more you play it, the more you'll discover interesting things. Some 'quests' also tricky enough and sometimes require you to think out of the box your mind or actually you just need to imagine if you're the one who doing it. I love how the game present a clue for you to solve. Every clue can be solved by manipulating your device only and those are brilliant while I never expect if an iPad/ iPhone can be so much powerful for this kind of thing.

I won't spoil you too much about the game since Progress is an experimental game, but it'll be disappointing if you passed it out once its released because you have no hint about this game. So here, I'll add some gifs to give you bit clues what will you do inside this game. The 'Hot Potato' level will let you imitate how your hand works while holding a hot potato, it's kind of holding dropping over and over, but just be careful don't drop your device on the floor. Interesting right? Well, that's just a beginning of 100 experiences that waiting for you to be unfold.


From TA forum, it said if Progress will be released about 1-2 months from now. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact release date for this game, but if you like to try the game by yourself, you can go to their official site and sign up for early access. The 'beta' build just reveal probably half of the game and let's wait for the released :D. Ah, one more info I think I can clearly see if Progress will be one of my favorite iOS game this year ;).

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

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...
