Trial Impressions – 13 August 2009
Eight(!) new games were released over the last 24 hours.
Note: These impressions are based off 8 minutes of gameplay and are not an accurate assessment of the full product.
360 Mega App Pack HD – 80 points – Other – Download
Several ‘apps’ like clock, massager and more in one collection. I can’t believe I’ve played 3 massage games in one week.
DESTRUCTION TANK – 240 points – Shooter – Download
3D tank deathmatch game. Not bad but very simple.
Agent MOO: Maximum Overdeath – 240 points – Shooter – Download
Online 2d Deathmatch game with vehicles. Could be great fun over LIVE but the trial doesn’t let you play online.
Music Roll – 80 points – Music- Download
Music sequencer. Those that have the skill to produce something good probably have much better apps already. It’s not terrible though.
PebbleDash – 240 points – Action & Adventure – Download
Boulder Dash clone. It’s fun and I appreciated the good level design.
Advanced Rock Paper Scissors – 80 points – Card & Board – Download
Card based rock, paper scissors game. Not much fun.
SMART SPLITTER – 240 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download
This could be a great cross between Breakout and Peggle, unfortunately I couldn’t find anywhere in the game where it actually explains what you are trying to do.
Superspace – 240 points – Racing & Flying – Download
Lunar Lander clone. Has some nice physics but seems really difficult once you are past the first couple of levels.
For SMART SPLITTER, look at the lines on the bricks, they will shoot balls in those directions when hit. Point being to make a chain reaction to get rid of as many blocks as you can.
I understood that bit. My problem was I seemed to have 5 balls and more than 5 levels to get through? Can you catch the balls or something? Or is there a way to get more?
You get one more ball at the end of each level. Oh also you can rotate your ship thing to get it to bounce off the walls, which you’ll need to do once you’re past the first handful of levels.
[...] Pebble Dash with less levels! [...]
