Colorooh Developer: digiDingo ag Publisher: digiDingo ag Platforms: iPhone (reviewed), iTouch, iPad Release Date: October 18, 2012 Price: $0.99-Available Here
Overview
In Colorooh you’re supposed to do one thing and one thing only, help match them with their colors and positions. The game is as simple as it gets but there are different environments and worlds to discover as you progress through the game. The game is made up of four different game modes that are all unique in their own way.
Story
There is literally no story for the game and that is perfectly okay because the game doesn’t even need one. With its numerous amount of levels and the ever increasing difficulty, you focus more on the gameplay and less on the fact that there is no story. This being said, if they wanted to add a small bit of information as an extra if they truly felt the urge to.
Gameplay
The game is set into four different modes and each of those modes have their own special way to play the game. The first game mode is match 3-mode. In this mode, your goal is to match all the different color blocks with their proper matching color. The first three level are pretty easy but, that third level will be the final simple level in the game. After that, the puzzles get more and more challenging and you will have to begin to think really far outside the box in order to solve each puzzle.
The next game mode is Shift mode. In this mode, you are given a mini-map which tells you where all of the blocks are supposed to go. The whole game mode is technically just organizing the blocks in a certain way but you get to see some interesting formations which will make you want to continue playing the game mode.
Next on the list is Puzzle mode. This mode is the hardest one to get used to. You have to paint each one and then make sure that you have all of them set up correctly also. There is a problem with this mode because you have a very limited amount of tries so you will sometimes be stuck on a level for ten minutes (in my case).
The last mode in the game is called Memory mode and it also involves painting the white one but it comes with a twist. Yes, you may get a certain amount of tries but, once you color one though, you no longer get to use the mini-map they give you. This mode is one of the best in the game because it was fun testing how my memory was.
Visuals and Audio
The games visuals are very bright and colorful and this just doesn’t go for the colors you use to play the game. The backgrounds of the game itself usually uses brighter colors whether it be the green used on the trees or the red used to help color the lava.
There is also no lag time when playing the game and I have yet to experience one glitch. The game plays absolutely perfectly and it is completely clean and crisp. In other words, it is graphically perfect.
The game has a witty audio track when the game first starts and it fits the environments the game has which overall is fun and witty. The game features brilliant sound effects whether it be clicking a menu icon or switching the colors around. I enjoyed hearing them because every time I clicked a button I heard something that sounded like I was leveling up of some sort but it was just the menu which was perfectly okay with me!
Overview
Overall, Colorooh is a great game all around. With its outstanding and numerous levels, brilliant graphics, and wonderful sound effects, it is definitely hard to find anything wrong with this game. Maybe this game could turn into a franchise like oh so many games do on iOS but, until then we can just hope for game updates adding new levels for us to play.
DeadGrind, an upcoming Android Shooter by BulletLike, has just had a new gameplay trailer released for it. In it we see the protagonist blasting his way through a series of undead hordes, with his trusty M16 as he makes his way to what looks like a giant demons head.
This game looks set to be a grind just to play, as through the 50 seconds of gameplay footage the only changes I noticed were in the background and the introduction of two new enemy types, which brought it up to a grand total of three. However, I can confirm that there will at least be one other weapon in the game, that being an AK-47 (originality is hard ok?). The game is currently free though, so it may be worth downloading just for a short time distraction, or kid distraction… we all do it.
BulletLike’s other apps include Burn the City, Foxy’s Ride and No Demons Allowed, which have all fared quite well on the Android Marketplace.
Feel free to check the gameplay footage out below the break and make you own conclusion.
With baited breath we have all waited for this news, and so it has finally arrived. The most realistic farming simulation game, Agricultural Simulator 2012, has now been announced to have a sequel, and one that has even more realism!
Boasting a flurry of new features including:
Dynamic terrain including realistic furrows!
‘Sales Hotspots’- to make trading easier.
‘Helper-system’- enables you to hire farmhands, though no indication yet whether you will be able to hire illegal immigrants or aliens. (Pre-order bonus maybe?)
Over 100 tractors and other farm yard machinery for you to control.
Choose between creating your farm in the heart of the US mid-west, the ‘enchanting’ Tuscan country, or even among the ‘dramatic vistas’ of the alps.
Agricultural Simulator 2013 will be released first via digital distribution during November before eventually making its way slowly (slowly… tractors… get it?) into shops on December 7th.
If this article has whetted your farming taste buds then be sure to check out the video below the break, and even if it hasn’t still check out the video just for the soundtrack.
Some of you may remember a very creepy game that was released last year by XSEED Games called Corpse Party. Well, if you don’t then you will be happy to know that the former game will actually be on sale for only $9.99 until November 6. It would certainly be good to purchase it, as it will take plenty of courage to jump into XSEED’s newly announced game without playing that first.
Today XSEED announced that they are planning to release Corpse Party: Book of Shadows sometime this Winter as a digital download on the PSP. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows contains eight chapters, each with its own unique story. Some of these stories are connected to the previous game which will expand on off-camera sequences, while others will focus on “What if?” scenarios while the final chapter revolves around the survivors of the first Corpse Party.
Currently no price has been announced for the game, but you can check out some scary screenshots and a trailer for the game below.
Today a number of new screenshots for Bethesda’s upcoming MMO, The Elder Scrolls Online, were released to the public and they can be seen below for your viewing pleasure. As you can see in the fourteen images presented, a number of environments are shown off, such as areas from Skyrim, Oblivion as well as Morrowind.
Also shown are a few of the iconic Elder Scrolls races as they fight against some monsters that are also from the franchise. Currently there is no set release date for The Elder Scrolls Online though it is expected to be released sometime in 2013. Those eager to learn a little bit more about the title can read our impressions of what was presented at E3 earlier this year here.
It seems that Irrational Games has been holding back quite a bit of news, because after a long drought of information, they have provided quite a bit of news over the last few days. Today it has been revealed that a new pre-order bonus has been revealed for BioShock Infinite in the form of an online game.
Those who pre-order BioShock Infinite will be able to play a game called BioShock Infinite: Industrial Revolution where players can unlock a number of in-game items for BioShock Infinite. To unlock content, players must solve various puzzles with there being sixty in total. The developers behind Industrial Revolution is Lazy 8 Studios and the game can be played now as long as you pre-order from a participating retailer.
It looks like a Borderlands app is in the works and according to the advert discovered by a Gearbox Forum user, the app will be released sometime this month for iOS devices. The advert was found in the Borderlands 2 digital strategy guide and as you can see above, it describes a game called Borderlands Legends.
Currently there is no set release date or price for the game, though apparently players will be able to play as the four original characters from Borderlands 1, use character specific powers and level up as they use a slew of different weapons to kill waves of enemies using a “strategic cover system” and more.
While the PlayStation Store revamp has had a number of issues, with the launch of the new look delayed indefinitely in most regions and taken down in others, apparently the European version of the store has just went live and may be actually staying up this time around.
PlayStation Europe has tweeted that the new PlayStation Store is now live across all EU territories so this means that anyone in those regions can now complain about having to deal with an unwieldy change that no one seemed to have wanted in the first place. Anyone in Europe believe that this new store is better than the last?
