Use Your Smarts to Get Through the Tower in Journey of Haha

January 18, 2017 by RSS Feed

Journey of Haha ($1.99) by Sergio Arrascaeta is an adventure puzzle game where you must use your brains to get through the tower, rather than speed or strength — who would have thought of that? If you like a good puzzle adventure game, such as Ninja Boy Adventures, then you will get a lot of enjoyment out of Journey of Haha.

While I love games of all kinds spread out across various platforms, I can’t help but be drawn to puzzle games when it comes to mobile on iOS. The touch screen works well for these types of games, and even though I turn to games to take my mind off of reality for a while, I prefer to keep my mind stimulated and puzzle games do a fantastic job of this. If you’ve been following my work here at AppAdvice for the past few years, then this should come as no surprise to you. Though it feels like I’ve gone through every type of puzzle game that the App Store has to offer ever since it launched in 2008, I can’t help but get intrigued whenever new ones hit the store, and Journey of Haha was one that definitely caught my eye. If you’re a fan of puzzles, then Journey of Haha does not disappoint.

In terms of visuals, Journey of Haha is beautiful. The game features a retro pixelated art style that will appeal to anyone who grew up with the classic consoles of yesteryear, and the 2-D top-down rendering makes it easy to see everything in a single view. Despite the vintage graphics, all of the tower rooms are packed with incredible amounts of detail, ranging from the textures of the floors and walls, to the blocks, grass, enemies, and even the character sprite of Haha herself (yes, her name is Haha). Animations in Journey of Haha are smooth and fluid, so I had no lag on my iPhone 7. I did think that the movement of Haha herself felt a bit slow sometimes, which is partly due to the controls, which I’ll get to in a bit. The game also has a rather atmospheric soundtrack that is both captivating and engaging, making it a delight to listen to as you figure out the puzzles that lay ahead of you. For a small development studio, I think that the developers did an excellent job with the look and feel of Journey of Haha.

Like many other puzzle games before it, Journey of Haha is level-based. At the moment, there are eight different floors of the tower that you must guide Haha through, and each chapter has eight stages in it, except for the final one, which has four. All levels are locked until you clear the one before it, so the game is incredibly linear in that respect. However, once you beat a stage, it’s available to pick from the Level Select screen, and you’ll want to do this if you care about acquiring a perfect three stars on every stage (depends on how fast you can beat it). The goal of the game is to help Haha find and collect all of the keys in a room to unlock the door to the next, until you reach the top of the tower. However, there will be traps, obstacles, and foes that will try and stop you from achieving your goal, naturally. The enemies you’ll come across range from benign to deadly, so watch out!

The controls in Journey of Haha are as simple as they come. To move Haha, just drag around the virtual joystick in the bottom left corner with your thumb. Having Haha move over keys will have her collect them, and running into blocks lets you push them if they can be moved. As more puzzle mechanics get introduced, you’ll find various buttons in the bottom right corner, such as freezing enemies into ice blocks so that they can be moved, or you can freeze them twice to destroy them. The game introduces new elements of the game to you at a gradual pace, and everything builds on top of what you already know, so it’s never overwhelming.

The only issue I have is the fact that the movement feels a bit slow, and the joystick goes wherever you place your thumb, which can be annoying — there should be an option for a fixed virtual joystick so that you can train your muscle memory instead of having it go all over the place. Hopefully the developers can fix this in the future.

Once you gather up all of the available keys, it will unlock a chest that contains the last key or item you need before the door opens. Sometimes an enemy will awaken at this moment as well. When you get the last object, the door opens and the moment you pass through the door, you have cleared the stage and the game reveals how you did. If you met the threshold for the fastest clear time, you will earn three stars. Otherwise, you’ll only get one or two, depending on your speed.

I’ve just started Journey of Haha in the past day, but so far I am enjoying it a lot. As a big fan of puzzle games on iOS, I feel that this is another worthy gem that deserves a spot in my collection. The visuals are downright stunning and a nice throwback to the golden age of gaming, and the music is soothing. While the puzzles start off pretty easy, I like that the difficulty does ramp up but at a gradual pace that will never feel overwhelming, and it’s great that the puzzle mechanics just continue to build on one another, because the transition is rather seamless. I just want to see more customization and optimization with the controls, so hopefully the developer can fix that in a future update, and perhaps add more levels.

I recommend giving Journey of Haha a try if you’re looking for an adventure puzzle game to keep you entertained. You can find Journey of Haha on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for just $1.99. There are no in-app purchases.

The Best Free VPN App for iPhone

January 18, 2017 by RSS Feed

Betternet is a terrific VPN service. It’s perfectly easy to activate on iPhone with one tap and connect to the “optimal” location. If you need to connect to a specific location, you can do so at several areas in the world including multiple U.S. points for a low monthly fee. It’s secure, fast, and consistently works well.

Download Betternet for iOS:

➤ Betternet in the App Store (free)

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to start using a VPN. A VPN, or virtual private network, shields your IP address by instead running your Internet connection through a different one at a different location. This tricks websites you visit into thinking you’re connecting from somewhere else while protecting your own identity.

You don’t need to use VPN all the time, but they’re ideal for when you have to use an unsecured public Wi-Fi network or if you can’t access location-restricted websites. On iPhone, the best VPN apps are ones that don’t log your data and invade your privacy — something VPNs are meant to protect — and they have a simple, easy-to-use interface. Our pick for the best free VPN on iPhone is Betternet.

Setting Up Your Betternet VPN

Apple bakes VPN functionality right into the core of iOS so Betternet just acts as a means for an access point. When you first download the app, you have to install a configuration profile in Settings to let iOS know you want to connect to your VPN through Betternet.

It’s just a matter of following the prompts. You should be done in about two taps. Then you can switch back over to Betternet to get started. The easiest way to connect is to literally just press the giant Connect button. Within a few seconds or less, Betternet has you connected and you can already go about browsing. It’s totally free and safe, no questions asked.

Betternet does not snoop into your data nor sells it for money. In fact, I greatly admire the transparency Betternet offers about how it makes its money and continues to run. It has a page on its website explaining just how it makes money, none of which include selling your data or showing you annoying ads as you browse.

The only ways Betternet make money are through ads within the app — not while you browse — and videos. Every so often to connect to the VPN you’re asked to watch a short advertisement first. The button will say “Watch a video and connect” but within moments, your VPN is active. Of course, there is an easy workaround to this though. Just tap “Skip and connect” right underneath.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Feel free to dodge the app entirely the next time you want to enable VPN. Open the Settings app and toward the top, switch on VPN. As long as you have the Betternet app installed and you added the profile, it’ll connect right away without any video advertisements or opening any apps at all. Then again, if you want to continue to support Betternet, by all means use the app and watch the quick ad.

Advanced Features and Location Changing

Betternet’s quick one-tap activation should be more than adequate for most people looking to use VPN, but not for all. Some, particularly those trying to access websites blocked either in the office or in entire countries, need more control.

For that, Betternet offers a premium version of its service. Premium gives you several location options, plus the promise of an even faster connection and prioritized tech support should you need it. It costs $4.99 per month or $29.99 on an annual basis — the latter is a nice 50 percent discount.

Your location options with Premium include seven cities in the United States: Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Virginia, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and Seattle. (Virginia is a state, not a city, so that’s weird.) Plus you can also connect through an IP address out of the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Australia, Germany, Singapore or Hong Kong. This provides fine-tuned control over your location in an already intuitive VPN app.

While it is a downside that Betternet charges to change your location, the cost is pretty inexpensive especially if you purchase annually. The other downside is that Betternet doesn’t appear to show your IP address or location even if you’re connected for free. It just says you’re connected from an “optimal location” in the United States but doesn’t specify what or where that is.

I’ve been using Betternet for years and it has always reliably connected me to the Internet through a VPN. The simple interface and the trustworthy policy of never selling or logging data make it a winner.
