The only clue they left was was a note instructing him to find them when he is old enough. Left in the care of a foster family as a chubby-cheeked little boy, Daniel couldn't understand why his parents had to run away nor what grave danger they were in. And if he should gain a superpower or two along the way, even better! Phenomenon: Meteorite by Puzzle Lab is an intriguing hidden-object adventure which takes you to a world of magic and mystery, exploration and revelations, as you help a young man uncover his true identity. He takes a boat to a remote island to search for his parents and have an adventure of a lifetime. Anyone else might have been happy with a cake and a raucous boys' night out, but our Daniel is different. No more spoilers in this review, go check the game out and see how delightfully disorienting it can be!ĭaniel is turning 25. It strikes a fantastic balance between roguelike and survival sim, forcing you to manage item weights, keys and the like along with constantly focusing on staying alive and warm. But there's a good experience there for those who sit with it for more than a few minutes. It's also confusing at second and third, too. And be prepared for some strange events!Ī False Saint, An Honest Rogue is confusing at first. Whatever you do, don't freeze before the in-game week is up. You have to stay warm and stay fed, and you can also sleep when it's nighttime, which can be useful for prolonging your life. When you see an item simply step across it to pick it up. Instead, use the sun and shadows to pick your way through the landscape as best you can. You know you're supposed to be going west, but it's not like you've got a GPS handy. Move around the screen using the keys (note that and turn you instead of sliding you to the side) and click menu/inventory elements to investigate or use them. There's just one thing on your mind: go west. Sounds fairly ordinary until you factor in the fact that you're going a bit mad from the chill, and many things you think you see don't make much sense at all. But that's why we like it! You're out in the cold, you're freezing, you're starving, and you have to survive. Created by Jeremiah Reid for the Seven Day Roguelike (7DRL) competition, this unusual game mixes survival and roguelike elements in a strange and often confusing way.
A well-crafted sendup of both Indiana Jones and the infinite runner genre, Indiana Stone: The Brave an the Boulder is a rock-solid (Get it? Because it's about rocks!) addition to your iOS device.Ī False Saint, An Honest Rogue, and one very cold adventurer. Taking on the role - or should I say roll - of a vengeful boulder is simply too much fun to pass up.
While the gameplay and graphics are simplistic, Indiana Stone is a game that will leave you with a smile on your face. There are several "unlockaboulders," such as a disco ball and an eyeball rock (called the iStone), as well as other bonuses and secrets that give the game a real nice amount of replay value. Besides the entertaining role reversal, the game sports delightfully blocky graphics and more rock puns than The Flintstones, if such a thing is even possible. Indiana Stone is charming and oodles of fun. Best of all, if you hit five creatures of the same type in a row, you automatically get a Super POW, which turns your boulder gigantic and guarantees the destruction of the brown-hatted one. Even better, you can run over creatures to fill up your POW meter, which allows you to briefly speed up and smash through obstacles. Luckily, there are red hoops which increase your speed and give you a quick boost.
Hitting obstacles slows you down - too many hits and it's game over. The controls are simple: Tilt your device to move left or right, and tap the screen to jump. Your mission is to crush the unnamed (but curiously familiar) archaeologist who has stolen your precious golden idol with the intent of locking it up in a stuffy museum.Įach stage takes place in an endless, trap-filled corridor, and it's up to you to catch up to the thieving rotter and give him what-for.
Well, that's all about to change! Indiana Stone: The Brave and the Boulder is an arcade-styled action game from Twinsky Games in which you play the larger, rounder, rockier half of the oft-imitated duo. You know the old cliché of the adventurer being chased by the giant boulder? It's a trope that has appeared in numerous movies and games, but we never get to see things from the boulder's point of view.
