Fish & Shark Short Review - Endless 'Runner' is Doing Right Once Again

Image
You might surprised with the guys behind this game. Odenis Studio has been experienced in nintendo Gaming world since 2007, before they decided to expand their work into iOS platform now. Their first iOS game has been released since July 25 which was came as a free endless swimmer game, yes a free game without IAP. So what's make this different with other endless game, beside the swimming part of course. Though, to be honest there're already several endless swimmer too outside there. I won't say if they use a pretty fresh new concept in this game. It just an endless swimmer game, but as long as I play iOS games, I haven't met any interesting endless 'runner' game again, after the Temple Run 2 era. However, in my opinion this game has enough 'power' to attract gamers for playing it, at least to try it once. Fish & Shark will let you choose to play as a good fish or bad shark. Actually, the good fish is like an easy or may be normal mode in th...

[Opinion] Female Gamer?

Image
It might be funny when I talk about this topic, but seriously I'm feeling bad with this kind of label as a gamer. If you take a look into wikipedia or search about 'female gamer' on google, the result comes with; girl gamer was such kind of sex material only. Even there's a difference between girl gamer with gamer girl, which to be true, I don't see any necessary for doing that. I won't post any pictures of that, you can search it by yourself. In fact, I also read if so many people said gaming world needs more women, but what should we do if we're just 'used' as 'sexism symbol' only. Do we want for that? Of course, Not. To make it brief, there're 2 different type of  female gamers in this world in my opinion. First, the one who actually play games. Second, the one who only act as a gamer and feeling great because of that. via Herbalcell So, you're asking how about me? I'm playing games, because I like them, I won't say.....

[iOS Playlist] Some iOS Games I've Played Lately :)

Image
Hi, this is not a review. This is just my quick post about my iOS playlist. I played them randomly and made gameplay video of them. I played LEX from my friend's recommendation (check his blog too here ), played Super Digestion Moose because it's hilarious as bell.. yes the bell :p. Then I played Ettetetta because occasionally I grabbed it when it's free. The last is Preplexity, I played it because I'm curious with that game, never played the first one, but this one with neon color is good enough to be tried.

[Bulk Review] Super Ccatch, Farting Felix, HexSweep, Alphabeats, and The Day of The Totem

Image
I'm so sorry, folks, because no posting since the last month. Well, I was so busy with exams and school projects last month. However, It's so disturbing me when a great game doesn't get enough attention from audience. That's why today I decided to make bulk review (only) from now. It'll come as short review for 5 games or so on in one post only. Why? Because, it's easier for me to recommend you more best indie games in once post. To be honest, it'll took a long time for me, if I should make full review for each game one by one. I don't have enough time for doing that... At least for this time. If I have enough time, sure I'll work with full review, but right now, let it go like that. I wish you can understand. Thank you :). Super Ccatch by Eduard Anton At glance this game reminds me with Intake game . To be honest, it's bit similar, but just a bit. Super Ccatch has more simple gameplay rather than Intake. You should change the color on Intak...
