[Игра года по версии Apple] ELOH iPhone and iPad Review: A Beautiful Musical Relaxing Puzzle From the Creators of Old Man’s Journey

11/12/2021 by

Mobile puzzle games are as popular as shooters, platform games and racing. Tired of the hectic rhythm of everyday life, plunge into the puzzle is just the thing. Such games can both amuse and relieve your head after a busy day.

Download ELOH for iPhone and iPad (App Store)

Most puzzles have a lot in common – time constraints on completing levels, advertisements (even in paid games) and the feeling of complete frustration when you can’t complete a level for weeks. ELOH from Broken Rules gathers all these flaws into a fist and throws them out the window, because playing it is sheer pleasure.

ELOH is a relaxing puzzle game from the creators of Apple Design Award-winning Old Man’s Journey. ELOH is totally focused on music, and in order to solve the puzzle, you need to create your own rhythm.

Although the developers of the game are Austrians, the spirit of a rainforest inhabited by ancient Indian tribes reigns in it. The hand-drawn graphics and background sound design help you immerse yourself in the atmosphere. The background voice acting in ELOH is not music (collecting a melody is the main task), but various sound effects, such as chirping birds and a low, soft hum.

The sound in the game is designed to nudge the player towards the correct answer. Your job is to find the sound you want at the right endpoint, with each sound being color-coded. At first, you will use animal spirits to direct the sound, but as the game progresses, other objects will be revealed to you. Here you need to calculate the correct angles and use the squares to move the animal spirits.

The game teaches us that all problems can be solved slowly, without unnecessary stress and anxiety. By playing ELOH, you can truly relax and unwind. First you have one animal, then two. Then additional sliders are added.

All movements are carried out using the correct movements. Touch the animal and move it to the desired location. Moving animals and sliders is surprisingly smooth. No additional hassle, everything is extremely easy and fluid. A simple user interface and pleasant, intuitive controllers are great fun.

Animal spirits are presented in the form of movable square tiles of different types with different sounds. Each tile has a different facial expression that changes with every sound. Animal spirits are reminiscent of Indian totem poles, masterfully drawn by the creators of ELOH.

Each tile is not just a square with a face, but a display of the animal itself. The first animal resembling a white chimpanzee, a little silly and childishly happy. The second animal is also a chimpanzee, but more enlightened. His wisdom shines through half-closed eyelids.

Each sound is fully consistent with the character of the animal. For example, a cheerful white chimpanzee is voiced by a drumbeat, while a sage monkey is represented by a low, more dull sound.

It’s worth noting that audio in ELOH is about more than just game design. Sound here plays a direct role in solving the puzzle. When you’ve solved the level, the rhythm sounds much clearer. Why this happens is not clear. Whether the developers achieved this on purpose, or is it just such a psycho-emotional effect, it is difficult to say. One thing is clear – the sound in ELOH is tightly integrated with the puzzle at each level.

The game provides 85 levels, there is synchronization with iCloud, there are no restrictions and, importantly, there is no advertising. Advertising would definitely disrupt the smooth flow of gameplay, and the developers took care of its absence. Thanks to this, the game perfectly relieves stress and allows you to release emotions through rhythm.

The app is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch running iOS 9.0 or later.

DISCOUNT (459r → 179r) [Игра года по версии Apple] Review of the game Thumper for iPhone and iPad – a psychedelic adventure at breakneck speed

06/12/2021 by

It would seem that rhythm games have already exhausted themselves, despite recent attempts to “revive” such famous brands as Rock Band and Amplitude. It is precisely because of the stagnation of the genre that the emergence of new projects raises some doubts, but in the case of Thumper, they are unfounded. It’s an arcade rhythm game with breakneck speed, psychedelic graphics and one-touch controls. Thumper is just like any other rhythm game, but it has a lot more to offer.

Download Thumper for iPhone and iPad (App Store)

Imagine that you are a chrome beetle racing at high speed along a neon track through a psychedelic void filled with floating cables, rainbow halos and laser beams. And all this is accompanied by a rumbling soundtrack. The only way to survive on the high-speed, dangerous track is to completely immerse yourself in the rhythm and play on your instincts, trying to fit into the corners and hit the markers at the right time. Failed to turn, jump or change rails in time, and you will face inevitable death. Success – to hold out long enough before meeting the main boss, in the role of which is a floating head with fiery eyes and spiked tentacles protruding from all sides.

In Thumper, you need not so much to create music as to overcome obstacles thrown up by the game at great speed. Seemingly simple, one-button control practically gives no room for error. If you do not hold on to a turn or do not have time to press the button, you crash (video of the gameplay at the end of the article). On the “spiked” areas you will need to jump, and a series of obstacles can be passed only by holding the “bit” button. At times, the track splits into several lanes, with metal tentacles blocking the path, forcing you to move from side to side.

♥ ON TOPIC: The best games for iPhone and iPad according to the version of Yablyk: 100 most-most.

One of the differences between Thumper and other rhythm games is that it doesn’t force you to create your own melodies. For example, you don’t have to click on the “beat” icon (for lack of a better term) every time it appears on the track, except for boss fights on every level. But such moments in the game do not appear often.

Thumper is an extremely fast game. It offers only nine levels, but they are long lasting and ruthless. In some cases, you will have to go through three turns in just a second, jump over the hole and land on the marker.

You can also score points and improve your rating using other methods, for example, jumping to get on a floating circle, but extra movements here are akin to calling fate. Couldn’t press the button at the right moment, lost concentration for half a second and now you crash into a barrier.

Thumper can be played in both regular and virtual reality, with the latter offering a level of immersion far beyond other games. Thumper literally stuns you with a cacophony of sounds and a psychedelic picture, so much so that in moments of rest you will not even be able to remember what happened in the past seconds.

Thumper’s only drawback is the repetition of the music tracks. The levels are divided into several dozen segments, and at times each of them resembles the stages already passed. In general, the problem is not so noticeable against the background of changing shapes and bright colors, but I would like more musical variety.

However, music is not the main thing in Thumper. The project benefits from a combination of breakneck speed, simple controls and a mesmerizing atmosphere. The game is more enjoyable in VR mode, when external stimuli do not distract from the virtual world. However, no matter how you play, Thumper is too good to pass by.

To download the game, you need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 11.0 or higher.

DISCOUNT (459r → 279r) [Лучшая игра 2018 г по версии Apple] Donut Country for iPhone and iPad: a story-driven puzzle game with real physics

29/11/2021 by

Donut County is a story-driven physics puzzle from the hit studio Gorogoa, Florence and Flower in which you play as BK, a raccoon who works as a dispatcher for a donut delivery service. But instead of sending donuts, he is engaged in sending holes (through the interface of a mobile game), dragging objects, people and other animals. He does this for two reasons: 1) raccoons LOVE to collect garbage and 2) BK really wants to improve his level in the game and win the coveted quadcopter.

Download Donut Country for iPhone and iPad (App Store)

After he fell into one of his own holes, in which by that time almost the entire population of the town is already located, VK, together with his best friend Mira, begins to act. Continuing to control the hole, the raccoon becomes the cause of events, complaints about which he then listens to from the rest of the inhabitants, represented in the game by various animals.

The game is touching, fun and funny in equal measure. The piece of the puzzle is pretty simple but fun at the same time. The player moves the hole with the cursor, and if something on the surface above it is small enough, it will fall directly into it. The more debris (pebbles, geckos, houses, mopeds, etc.) you collect, the larger the hole will be, eventually swallowing up entire areas of the terrain. In addition to tightening things up, you can also throw them away sometimes, collecting hard-to-reach items like bird nests and bee hives.

Each completed section grants BK experience and brings it closer to level 10 (as well as an explanation of what exactly happened to his coveted drone).

♥ ON TOPIC: The best games for iPhone and iPad according to the version of Yablyk editorial board: 100 most-most…

The in-game concept of play works surprisingly well, allowing a story to be told throughout the gameplay while simultaneously conveying the idea of a silly but addictive and destructive app at the same time. The levels are short and fun, the characters are interesting, and the story moves at a comfortable pace. Even if you complete the game in a couple of hours, it will be a very busy time.

The game has the so-called Trashopedia, which describes objects from the point of view of a raccoon and wonderful animations that give the animals their personality.

There are very few puzzles to get stuck on in the game. In the worst case, the player will repeat the same actions until he finally achieves the desired result.

Donut Country is available in the App Store for RUB 459. To download the game, you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch running iOS 10 or later. The game has a localization into Russian.

[Игра года по версии Apple] Inside review for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV from the creators of Limbo

13/09/2021 by ALOK DAS

Following the success of the horror-platformer Limbo, developers from the Danish studio Playdead decided to keep the same dark style and structure in their next project. Inside also tells the story of a boy escaping the forces of evil and solving puzzles, but this is only at first glance, inside the game is not at all like Limbo, at least in that it is much more integral and fun, and makes you think about a lot.

Download Inside for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV (App Store)

Already in the first minutes, Inside evokes ambiguous feelings: it intrigues, terrifies and shocks. While technically just a 2D puzzle platformer, Inside is one of the more beautiful and detailed games out there. The developers have carefully polished every detail, from dust particles floating in the air to rain drops and sun rays penetrating through the window. At times, you just want to stop the game for a minute and enjoy the animation, the dark atmosphere, the sharply contrasting color palette and the soundtrack, which makes you feel a little uncomfortable. We can hear the boy breathing and see him stumble after a jump. The scenery is mostly gray, but the more attention is drawn to the colored fragments, which sharply contrast with the rest of the environment.

Inside doesn’t offer any clues, so you’ll have to figure out what’s going on for yourself. Throughout the game, you will make your way through a mysterious military base, exploring its secrets. As you progress through the game will constantly change, and not only the view, but the gameplay itself.

♥ BY THEME: The best games for iPhone and iPad according to Yablyk.com: 100 most-most.

Inside’s gameplay is very similar to Limbo. You will often have to die here, and although at first glance death seems inevitable and unfair, in fact it allows you to figure out what should be done and what should not. Compared to Limbo, the puzzles in Inside are much simpler, taking only a few minutes to solve. Some involve interaction with certain objects, for example, boxes, while others require the activation of strange flying cubes that soar into the air and hover in it before sinking to the ground. The puzzles are quite varied and sometimes they mix, forcing you to experiment with physics to get everything right. Sometimes your enemy will be the military complex itself, where you have to overcome huge heights, face unexplained explosions or dive into the water, while trying not to drown.

Along the way, you will come across live enemies, for example, dogs and … more exotic forms of life (we will not reveal all the secrets). Such meetings are so well planned that you barely manage to stay alive, and if not, a vile picture awaits you. The game has adopted a powerful, but not the most pleasant trick from Limbo – mistakes are punished very severely here. Crunching and chomping quickly engrave in memory and cause not the best sensations, therefore, all actions that require a quick reaction, you involuntarily try to perform correctly, at least just so as not to see how the error will turn out for the hero.

Inside’s puzzles are the main driving force of the story. The game does not explain why the boy was alone at night in the forest, what made him sneak into the mysterious base, what it is for, and who is trying to stop him. Inside is hard to describe in words. In many indie games that claim to be semantic depth, the plot is often brought to the fore, and the gameplay is simplified almost to a rudimentary state. Inside has managed to maintain a delicate balance between storytelling, atmosphere and gameplay. Although the game cannot boast of innovative gameplay, once played, you will not remember puzzles at all.

Inside is a puzzle platformer on the App Store for free. It should be noted that only the beginning of the story is free, the full version is available through in-app purchases.

[Игра года по версии Apple] The Gardens Between for iPhone, iPad and Mac

11/07/2021 by ALOK DAS

This game is about the interaction and adventures of two best friends, Arina and Friend. They live next to each other, but prefer to spend time in their treehouse. There, the guys immerse themselves in their own world from drawings, invented memories, games and adventures, and, perhaps, even their own language. Arina is a little older, she clearly has the makings of a leader. Friend, on the other hand, is a classic, modest nerd with glasses. On the last night before parting, the rain-drenched house where the friends took refuge will become their ship in the ocean of memories.

The game does not offer a storyline. The story is not presented in text or voice, but through images and actions. But this is exactly how memory works – from memory to memory. And each island-garden, where the children get, becomes a separate three-dimensional puzzle.

Decision rules are not unique, not only new details appear, but even additional dimensions. But you won’t have to puzzle over the passage of the game – its meaning is in the return of those childhood emotions that many of us would like to experience. Thinking about looking for a way out is also not worth it – together with friends we float in some kind of fabulous stream of memories. And it will not work to manage it in your own way – after all, this is their fantasy. The goal of each level is to light the lamp and bring the fireball to the top of the island-location.

The familiar control mechanics in The Gardens Between are not to be seen. We cannot control either the heroes or the environment at all. All that is available to us is time. With the help of the on-screen stick, you can rewind and rewind, from time to time activating special objects in certain places. They just make an additional change in a somewhat static memory.

So, in one place, by rewinding in time, it will be possible to dial the secret code, in another – to start the generator, in the third – to saw off the board by jumping on a saw. And the further we delve into the memories of the heroes, the more difficult it will be to form the sequence of their actions.

Such games are not taken with tricky riddles and not unrestrained action. The Australians at The Voxel Agents tried to appeal to the deepest feelings of each of us. The game is full of numerous and subtle details, with some of which you will probably be able to find your own, if not a child’s, then certainly a significant memory.

It is no coincidence that the entire entourage is designed in the style of the 80s – 90s, where most of us come from. Relevant parts of the landscape are videotape, laser disc, calculator or CRT television. So that nothing would interfere with full immersion in the process, even the heroes themselves turned out to be wordless.

Visually, the creation of The Voxel Agents studio looks simple, but neat, corresponding to the task set by the game. The animation world is characterized by lovingly written details. Following the movements of the heroes, the camera moves in a spiral, and in the background, in the fog, the outlines of other worlds can be seen, not necessarily belonging to our heroes.

The video is accompanied by lyrical and slightly melancholic music, which emphasizes the emotional depth of what is happening and allows you to focus on the puzzles. With the rewinding of time, the sounds, moreover, increase and decrease.

The Gardens Between is a fun game. She suggests not to think, but to sympathize. Original and unhurried puzzles are part of the overall idea. The simple and touching story of the characters is understandable and does not need a deep disclosure of images and plot. It will take 4-5 hours to complete the game, so it will not have time to get bored. But you will want to spend a couple of evenings at The Gardens Betweens. There are several drawbacks in the game: fixed position of the camera, presence of stamps, and excessive simplicity. But that does not stop you from enjoying this worthy representative of the indie genre.

DISCOUNT (299r → 99r) [Игра года по версии Apple] Chameleon Run for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV

29/11/2020 by ALOK DAS

It is useless to expect something revolutionary from new runners – everything that could be thought of worthwhile has long been invented. The genre itself belongs rather to the category of timekillers, the creators of which rarely worry about the uniqueness of the content of their projects, relying on the features of the gameplay.

Download Chameleon Run for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV (App Store)

In general, Chameleon Run is no exception to this rule. Its developers did not invent a bicycle and remained within the framework of the given genre, perhaps slightly adjusting the gameplay.

The game does not have a menu and unnecessary introductions – as soon as we launch the runner, a world of multi-colored platforms and a wide variety of obstacles that the protagonist – a small nimble man – has to overcome level by level, opens up before us.

Unlike the standard representatives of the genre, in Chameleon Run the gamer will expect slightly changed rules of the game – it will be important not so much to overcome obstacles as to change their own color in time in accordance with the change in the color of the platforms, while not forgetting to collect the balls necessary to move to the next stage and crystals. The character will remain alive even when falling into the abyss, provided that he managed to “repaint” in time. The only obstacle that can destroy the main character in any case is the various blocks and platforms in black.

Since the speed of the game is high enough, and besides, there are many surprises in the form of elements that arbitrarily change color or interfere with the movement of fans, not everyone will be able to overcome even the initial levels the first time. But you can get used to such features of Chameleon Run over time, so the creators have included in the runner the possibility of competing with users all over the world. The essence of the competition is mainly to accumulate the maximum number of points. To do this, you will need to go through the levels extremely quickly, diligently collecting all the bonuses and never making mistakes when changing colors and overcoming obstacles.

For exemplary completed tasks, they give awards and open up new opportunities. Thus, it will be possible to get, for example, a jet board or increase the character’s running speed.

The runner is also different in design, for which he received an award from Apple. The visual component of the game, although minimalistic and made in pixel style, is still implemented at the highest level. The monotonous musical accompaniment slightly spoils the impression, but if you wish, you can simply turn it off.

In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”

In addition, there are no in-app purchases in Chameleon Run – each of the gamers will initially be on an equal footing. The game is available in the App Store at a price of 299 rubles.

In conclusion, it should be noted that in 2016 the game Chameleon Run won the annual Apple Design Awards, where Cupertinos reward the most interesting games and applications for iOS and macOS in terms of visual design.

ELOH is a relaxing puzzle game from the creators of Apple Design Award-winning Old Man’s Journey. ELOH is totally focused on music, and in order to solve the puzzle you need to create your own beat.

DISCOUNT (299р → 149р) [Игра года] Overview of Ordia for iPhone and iPad

02/05/2020 by ALOK DAS

The creator of the catchy Causality puzzle, Loju LTD, has unveiled its new product. Ordia was not as relaxing as her predecessor, but she definitely has her own face. A simple-looking game is addictive and forces you to make efforts for its passage. Ordia looks like a quality-made product that deserves attention.

Download Ordia for iPhone and iPad (App Store)

In this game, the player needs to control a small green ball resembling an eye that makes its way through a living and dangerous world. The character jumps from one green node to another, rising up to the exit. It’s kind of like climbing. Management is very simple – you need to pull the ball in the right direction and release it along the trajectory traced. Correct aiming will allow you to reach a new site. Otherwise, the ball will fall down until it comes across a deadly obstacle or clings to a new node.

I must say that this is not the first game using a similar control scheme. A similar mechanism is used in the famous Angry Birds. But if in similar games the levels are static, then in Ordia our ball constantly scrambles up. Only part of the map is visible on the screen. The ball does not need to be constantly on the move – in most places you can stop for a break or think, rarely when it is life threatening. Because of this, the pace of the game may seem relaxed and pacifying.

The first levels are quite simple and allow you to gain confidence. The subsequent stages are already more difficult, but the control points save the passage into small fragments. At the very beginning, one can only be afraid of the wrong path and slippery walls, but gradually the number of active enemies of our ball increases. These are thorns, and carnivorous worms, and wind tunnels.

And to make the passage even more interesting, in Ordia, 10 collectibles are hidden at each level. It is tempting to assemble them, especially since this leads to new, more interesting problems and trajectories. These additional elements complicate the game, but they can be completely ignored. And at the end of the stage, you can go to the next or even jump over one. In Ordia, everything is unobtrusively done so that the gaming experience is enjoyable.

♥ BY TOPIC: The best games for iPhone and iPad according to the version of the Yablyk edition: 100 of the most-most.

Synchronization with iCloud allows you to switch between iPhone and iPad – yet for the smartphone, the playing field is cramped. And switching between devices allows you to play even on the go, especially since the game consumes battery power very economically. It will take a lot of time to complete 30 levels in 3 different worlds, and even with bonus stages and achievements.

Ordia is a fun platformer with many interesting ideas. Obstacles are thought out here not without creativity. Ordia is not a revolutionary product, but is not trying to be one.
