Great Deals Of Pyrosphere Last Fish
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!
It's a fun game. I'm playing it on the Kindle Fire HD, and have had no problems with force closes, and the game plays extremely smoothly. The controls are very responsive. It starts out very easy, and does (as other reviews have alluded to) get difficult. It never gets impossible though, and for long term value I'd rather it did get difficult instead of just have different levels that are easily passed.
ReplyDeleteThe big question I had about this game was going to be the presentation. I wondered if it looked professional. It does. The graphics, while black and white and nothing amazing, are good. The game has a stylish look to it, and it is has a similar look to World of Goo. The menu's look good (between levels), the fish and on screen graphics all look good, they have a nice glow look to them that is brighter than the pictures represent.
The game does have varied tasks for the levels, such as capture a number of air bubbles while avoiding pollution, survive the pollution for a number of seconds, capture so many air bubbles in a certain amount of time, exc. It does a good job of mixing tasks up so that you aren't doing the same thing over and over.
All in all, it's a good game that you should definitely pick up as the app of the day, and it's a game that is worth 0.99 cents for someone who is looking to pass time with a stylish, fun, tilt based sensory game.
Nice game with fluid motion and controls. Even though I got this as a faotd (free app of the day) I would definitely pay $0.99 for this app.
ReplyDeleteHad no problem with the tilt feature on my Kindle, this game is really fun to play and I love the look of the game. I'm glad I checked what the free game of the day was! Even if it wasn't free, I think it's more than worth the 99 cents!

ReplyDeleteI have never enjoyed motioned controlled games because they always seems inaccurate. This is not the case it goes exactly where I want it to.. Amazingly good motion control.
