VolaTile ( $0.99 → Free ) Tyler McBride VolaTile taps into the basic rules of memory matching games and then gives them a little twist. The idea is to keep the board clean by removing matching tiles. If you attempt to match tiles that are different, they’ll fade back to their default color and be reduced by one point. Each tile starts with a value of four, and their value is only added to your score when they are removed. After five tile comparisons with or without a match, a new row of tiles will be added. You’ll come across tiles of different shapes and colors, which do different things, but generally speaking green is good and red is bad. The game also includes four modes, an in-depth tutorial, and power-ups.

Unearth Ancient Secrets in After the End: Forsaken Destiny

March 10, 2017 by RSS Feed

Unearth Ancient Secrets in After the End: Forsaken DestinyUnearth Ancient Secrets in After the End: Forsaken Destiny

After the End: Forsaken Destiny ($3.99) by NEXON M Inc. is a puzzle adventure game that will definitely give your brain a workout while providing some stunning eye candy. If you enjoyed games like Monument Valley and Causality, but want some adventure thrown into the mix like Lara Croft GO, then After the End: Forsaken Destiny is the game for you.

Even though most of my time lately is going towards The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on my new Nintendo Switch, every now and then I like to go back to my iPhone for some games as a break from the vast open world of Zelda. When it comes to my iOS gaming time, I usually prefer something that is relaxing but stimulating at the same time, so that my mind stays sharp. For these moments, puzzles are always my go-to choice, but I also like an adventure, so when these two genres are combined, I can’t resist. I spotted After the End: Forsaken Destiny featured on the App Store last week while I was at GDC, and I had to download it and give it a try myself. Needless to say, this gem does not disappoint.

Unearth Ancient Secrets in After the End: Forsaken DestinyUnearth Ancient Secrets in After the End: Forsaken Destiny

After the End features a breathtaking visual style that is reminiscent of other isometric games like Monument Valley and even Pan-Pan, which I reviewed yesterday. After the End also sports a nice low-poly aesthetic, so everything looks a bit more jagged and artsy, and there is a bit of a blurry dreamscape effect thrown in to the mix as well, giving it more depth. The color palette in After the End is full of rich, earthy tones with a dash of soft pastels that accentuate everything nicely. The game has cutscenes that are beautifully animated and immersive, pulling you into the world and story of a father and son on their duo journey together in parallel paths. Animation during gameplay is smooth and fluid, with no lag on my iPhone 7. There is also a soothing atmospheric soundtrack with a hint of melancholy that draws you in to the game’s universe, as well as delightful sound effects when you interact with the environment and objects. Overall, I believe NEXON did a great job with After the End in terms of the visuals and audio.

In After the End, even though it’s an episodic puzzle adventure game, it’s still level-based rather than open-world like Pan-Pan. This means that players must solve the puzzles that are in front of them before they can move on to the next area and level. If you like a particular stage enough, you can go back and replay it through the game’s level selection screen. Things start out easy enough, but the difficulty of the puzzles will increase as you make progress in the game, so stay on your toes! Each level in After the End is essentially an episode, and they can be pretty lengthy, so you are getting a good amount of game for the price. The objective in each stage will vary depending on the situation that your character is in on their journey, but it will always involve solving a myriad of puzzles before you can advance.

The controls in After the End are simple and intuitive. For movement, players will use the virtual joystick that can be found in the bottom left area of the screen. This joystick is not in a fixed position either, so it will goes where your thumb is. A button shows up in the bottom right area when it is possible for you to interact with the environment, an NPC, or an object, and this is the button that you tap repeatedly to run in situations like a collapsing bridge behind you. If you are not satisfied with the touch areas for these controls, you can make some tweaks in the game’s options menu, which can be accessed from the title screen. In some levels, you are also able to rotate the camera by dragging your finger around on the screen. Keep in mind that this is necessary for some stages in order for you to see where you have to go, or reveal hidden switches. And the controls may be different from puzzle-to-puzzle, but the game does show you the basics and the rest is pretty straightforward.

Additionally, there is more to the game than just solving the puzzles and moving on. There are hidden relics scattered throughout the game, so a bit of exploration is needed if you tend to be a completionist. Or if you are the type of person who likes to marvel at the gorgeous digital worlds that fit in the palm of your hand, there is plenty of ancient landscapes to look at in After the End.

I’m still pretty early on in the game, but so far I’m enjoying the experience. The graphics are downright spectacular and remind me of other great games I’ve played in the past, such as Lara Croft GO and even a bit of Journey. The tunes are tranquil and relaxing, despite the somewhat gloomy tone of the game, and really just pull you in. Controls are responsive and intuitive with no issues from my testing of the game. I think the difficulty level is just right, because it picks up at a gradual pace and most of these puzzles can be solved by trial-and-error, so anyone can enjoy this fantastic puzzle adventure story.

I recommend giving After the End: Forsaken Destiny a try if you are in the mood for a puzzle adventure game this weekend with a good emphasis on storytelling. You can find After the End: Forsaken Destiny on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for just $3.99. There are no in-app purchases, and the game also includes an iMessage sticker pack. There will also be more content added in future updates.

Get Lost in the Immersive World of Pan-Pan

March 09, 2017 by RSS Feed

Get Lost in the Immersive World of Pan-PanGet Lost in the Immersive World of Pan-Pan

Pan-Pan ($3.99) by Spelkraft is an open world adventure game that features plenty of puzzles and exploration. If you enjoyed games like Lumino City and Maestria, then you will like what Pan-Pan brings to the App Store.

When I’m not playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on my Nintendo Switch these days, I like to turn to my iPhone for some relaxation and variety. Even though there are plenty of puzzles to solve in BotW, I still can’t help but look for even more puzzles in the iOS games that I play, and when you combine it with a vast adventure, well, I can’t resist. When I saw Pan-Pan on the App Store, I was intrigued by the screenshots, and knew that it was something that I had to check out. If you’re a fan of open-world adventure games with little to no guidance, well, Pan-Pan will be right up your alley.

Get Lost in the Immersive World of Pan-PanGet Lost in the Immersive World of Pan-Pan

Visually speaking, Pan-Pan is gorgeous. The game features an isometric art style that is similar to games like Monument Valley and Causality, but it has enough unique elements to stand out from the rest. Everything is rendered in full 3-D and the game has that angled top-down perspective so it’s possible to see more on the screen at once. The color palette used in Pan-Pan ranges from soft pastels to some bolder and more vibrant tones, but everything meshes together nicely. Animations are smooth and fluid as you move around and pan the camera, so I had no lag on my iPhone 7. To top everything off, Pan-Pan has a soothing, ambient soundtrack that is composed by Simon Viklund. The tunes and sound effects are relaxing yet immersive, so it’s best to play the game with a good pair of earbuds if you want to full experience.

The game starts out with a spaceship that is flying in space, but as you tap on it to interact with it, the ship ends up breaking down and crashing on a mysterious planet, so you must fix it and find your way back home. There are no levels in Pan-Pan — the game just throws you into the game world without any guidance, and it’s up to you to figure everything out on your own. While you may think that the first area is a bit small, you’ll end up wandering off and uncovering more and more of the world map as you go towards the vignetted areas, and more puzzles are revealed. Since the game is all about exploration, you may have to wander around a bit before you are able to find the necessary elements that are required to complete the puzzles that you come across, so a bit of back-and-forth (and patience) is a must in Pan-Pan. However, everything is done seamlessly as you uncover and enter new areas, which just shows how much care was put into the game during development. There is support for up to three game saves, which is nice to have if someone else wants to play the game on a single device.

The controls in Pan-Pan are simple enough and clearly designed for touch screens. To move your character around, just tap on where you want to go, and she will go towards that spot. If there are objects that you can interact with, there will be a marker above them indicating that and you can tap on them to investigate. These can include switches, buttons, special tiles on the floor, objects that you can pick up and place somewhere, NPCs, and more. As far as saving your game goes, you’ll need to find the save points and save your game manually, otherwise your data can be lost.

If you’ve played point-and-click adventure games in the past, then these controls should feel like second nature to you by now. You can also rotate the camera around by dragging your finger horizontally across the screen, and there is a button at the bottom that allows you to zoom in or out of the current landscape. Optionally, you can also use multitouch gestures like the pinch to zoom in or out.

Get Lost in the Immersive World of Pan-PanGet Lost in the Immersive World of Pan-Pan

While the controls work for the most part, I did find the camera panning control to be a bit weird, because it felt inverted. For example, if I wanted to look towards the left of the screen, I would think that swiping my finger left-to-right would rotate the camera clockwise, but it’s just the opposite. This throws me off a bit, and there is no inverted control option to change it to the other way around. But there is a second control scheme that gets rid of the zoom button so that the interface is more clean, if that’s what you prefer.

Aside from the controls, another issue I have with the game is the fact that there is no explanation of anything. While this may appeal to some gamers, I don’t like being thrown into a game without any explanation of what I’m supposed to do, especially during a puzzle. I believe that a lot of the puzzles can be solved through trial-and-error with enough patience, but still, I would have appreciated some kind of explanation of what’s happening at least. I’m a bit torn with this game, because I love the visual style and the music, but when I have no clue what I’m doing, it’s hard to enjoy everything else.

Because there is no help at all, I’m still super early on in the game. I’m in love with the graphics and sound, but it’s hard to have fun with the game when I’m pretty lost. I wish there was a tad more guidance in Pan-Pan, as it would be much more enjoyable for anyone besides hardcore gamers. Hopefully it’s something that the developers can consider in the future, but not ruin the overall experience of the game.

I recommend Pan-Pan only if you enjoy open-world puzzle adventure games and have no problem figuring out what you’re supposed to do without a guide. Pan-Pan can be found on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for $3.99. There are no in-app purchases.
