Archipelago -- so many possibilities
This is a very simple game like Collapse, but in 3D. Don't be scared by 3D, you won't need to solve any logical tasks or fly in 3D. It's just that field where you click rotates and gives you a lot of possibilities. There are so many unique features in this game - dozens of achievements (for completion of worlds, doing tricks, collecting stuff), awards for each level (gold/silver/bronze) for doing tricks RIGHT in levels (perfects, combos, speed and something else). A lot of gorgeous and beautiful landscapes - forest, island, volcano, canyon, skies, caves... didn't go further than that YET. As for the gameplay - every level gives a new challenge as an in any other games. First levels are quite easy - collect some cubes, learn to move mouse and sometimes right click, collect cubes on 2 fields at once and then various gravity levels, challenge levels and speed levels. Plenty of variety and growing difficulty curve.
There's arcade mode which unlocks after first few levels, it allows to play some of the coolest forever -- not quite the best choice, but it's very good for practicing various techniques.
So how does the gameplay look? You've got a stack of blocks that grow from the bottom (like 1 row per second) and sometimes drop from the top. You need to match 2 or more adjacent blocks of the same time to remove them. CLICK and they fly away with super cool 3D effect and entire stack collapses with very cool movement.
You need to click on all of the blocks in each level and reach the target of the level, which could be a number of blocks or number of specifically colored blocks.
Plus while you are playing you need to make combos (click on the same colored cubes), perfects (remove everything from the screen), remove big groups (quite a tactical thingie) and complete level really quick. For doing all that stuff you get rated in the end of the level and receive various awards. The better awards you get, the quicker achievements you'll receive.
This is a great game, |
