After I Buy The Shearing Spell Velvet Carpet
The basic concept of this game is simple: Your fish must swim through dangerous waters eating the white food orbs and avoiding the black poison orbs. Level objectives change as one progresses through the game, so game play is not monotonous. I'll leave it up to you to discover each level's objective, but suffice it to say that each new task is easy to learn and challenging to master.
To change the swimming direction of the fish, one must "tilt" the device. I am not at all good at games involving the "tilt feature" of a device. In fact, my ten year old daughter usually makes fun of my lame efforts to play such games. However, the controls of this game are logically sensitive so I feel very "in control" of my environment. I like that the tilt controls can be adjusted to respond to holding one's device flat or at an angle.
I really prefer to remain positive when I write my reviews. However, this time... I have to say that I think the music in this game sounds like an ominous funeral dirge! Of course, you be the judge. One can turn off sound.
Last Fish is very similar to another game on the Amazon market called "Osmos." When I first began to play Last Fish, I actually thought it was from the developers of Osmos. Both games involve size changing orbs that one needs to avoid. However, Osmos uses finger touches instead of tilt controls and the game objectives are a bit different.
I really like this App. The intuitive nature of the game makes it so players are not easily frustrated. The game is challenging, but not impossible. This game's tilt controls might even help develop patience in its players. We all need more patience in this world, so that might be a good thing!
I am reviewing this from my copy of the original vinyl. this was a .50 find in portland oregon 2013. always need to take a chance on any george shearing lp. and was i right again. i mean this really swings. having a few tracks with the incomparable toots doing some fine blowing of the harmonica, well. it just doesn't get any better. i loved the cuban fantasy, dancing a little bosa nova into my kitchen. thanks george for more fine music.
ReplyDeleteThe Shearing Spell has proven to be a masterpiece of musical excellence. I have given many CDs to people in all kinds of life situations and they have all made a special effort to call or write with exuberant thanks for giving them "that magnificant music." Some have thereafter obtained other of his albums. "Moonray" and "Autumn in New York" were cited most often as favorates but satisfaction was spoken of the entire work. So, for all who received it---people needing emotional uplift, relaxtion, romantic background, new music to appreciate--- I have observed it to be a real winner, a masterpiece, in that it seemed to address the casual as well as the deeper needs of people that music apparently can address.
