Top 5 Endless Runner Games for your Phone

Hola, hmmm... Long time no posting... I've been busy with my college, and btw, Happy new year *Oh, man that's too late u know... :P it's okay, since this will be my first post in this year... LOL

A bit story, before I continuing my writing. I spent my holiday go to Trans Studio Bandung, it's kind of indoor amusement park, that's located in Trans Studio Mall. The entrance ticket cost IDR 250.000 or about $25, but dude, I went there on December 31, 2012 and you know what? It's so crowded, the queue was so loooong... Finally, I decided to upgrade the ticket into VIP class cost IDR 250.000, so total for the ticket I spent about $50.
I've tried all the games right there such as Vertigo ( it's kind of game which you will be twirled in to 360 degree in high speed to), Giant Swing (game which you will be swing into 180 degree, the wind blowed so high during this game), Freefall Ride, etc. I only didn't come to Dunia Lain (Ghost House), I just don't like kind of that game.

Alright, alright forget about that, actually, I will post some recommended games for you.. N today's topic is Endless Runner Game, so who got the first place?

Allods Adventure HD: Great Adventure Based Puzzle Game

Hi, everyone... I'm back after finished my exams.. Today, I want to post a new game called
Allods Adventure
May be this one sounds familiar, yeah, if you knowing about an online game from Russia called Allods Online. This one is developed by them too.
This game supports English, Russian, French, Italiano, and Deutsch languages. I haven't played the online version yet. As I know the online version we played as a human. In this one we will played as some different monsters.

Alright, in Allods Adventure, we must defeat some enemies using 3 kinds of different monsters for each levels. I'm not sure what it called, but I will decide it into 3 category, green, blue, and yellow monsters. The monsters that we used have different skills and abilities too. In the first level, we used only one monster a werebear which can defeats enemies in 3 tiles in front of its. This one is include in green monsters category. In the second level, you also unlock your second monster, evil-eye, this monster has ability to unfrozen one enemy. After that, you should beat that enemy using your regular or green monster. Evil-eye includes in blue monsters.
In the third level, you will unlock the yellow monster category, for your first yellow monster, you will get Sabertooth-Squirrel, it can switch the enemy's position though it's a frozen enemy. So, by using these 3 monsters, you must defeat all the monster to pass the level. There are 3 stars too that you must collect to unlock or ”tame" the enemy in that level you played. Actually, after you tamed it, you can't used the monster which u have tamed, it just for collection and unlock achievement on Game Center also for leaderboard score.

Remember, every monster has limited movements, so use it wisely. Some levels only have one way solution too. Fortunately, you can pass any level without collecting any stars, the requirement is defeat all the enemies only. However, sometimes you can stuck in a level because you can defeat all the enemies but not collected all the stars.
You can use hints on the right top for help you decide the movements. Unfortunately, there's only 10 hints, which we got and if you want to use more hints, you must buy it by IAP. Hmm... This one is optional choice only.
One more, you are not always get the same monsters to defeat the enemies for every level. So far I play, I got 4 monsters in green category, 2 in blue and yellow category. Oh, FYI , some enemies has unique skill to like explode which can affect the other enemies which nearby its. Don't forget to collect treasures in a level to unlock the historical scroll (Allod's Online Wallpaper). Overall, there are 21 main levels in 4 stages, 3 bonus levels, and 5 new levels which you can purchase by IAP cost $0,99.

Graphics: 5 of 5 (Stunning 3D HD graphics)
Sounds: 4.5 of 5 ( Adventure back sound with monster sound effects)
Gameplay: 5 of 5 (Unique, an adventure game based puzzle, simple control, needs to think hard sometimes, never get crash or lag experiment though the size is quite big almost 950 mb after installed, I prefer to download this by iTunes then synchronize it.)
Replay Value: 4.5 of 5 (It will become so high when you try to re-collect all the stars only, but still challenging to play it again and again, as you increasing your stage, you must pass the harder levels too.)
Overall: 4.75 of 5
(Smart adventure puzzle game from Mail.Ru with fascinating story every you passed the stage. I hope more free level updates coming soon for this game, ability to save the wallpaper (hmm, or may be me just don't know how to save it... XD )

Price: $1,99 (Introducing Price for limited time from $4,99)

Bebee the Bee: An Adventure Story of the Bee

Hi, everyone... It's raining here and the rain is quite heavy too.
My today's posting is a review about a game which I got by redeeming the promotional code from a forum.
What is that?

Bebee the Bee



At the first time I see the genre; it shows if this app is for kids.. Hmm,, I'm not kid anymore, but I want to check it. I got a promotional code from developer who's sharing that at a forum. So, I try to download it by redeem the promotional code.
After that, here I tell you my review and I'll write it in different style, at least as kid's think.

First Look


The graphic is simple with natural color not too colorful, but it'll attracts kid's attention.
This uses simple 2D graphic using digital painting not hand drawing.
What's made me interest in the first time is the prologue, it's coming with the text and vocal from a little kid like in a interactive book. The pictures which arranged for the prologue really looks like interactive book for kid and I think there will be a prologue for each new world. Music and sound is very suitable for kids too.
For me, +1 for this app.

The Game



After see the prologue, let's move to play the game. What's inside this game?
Oh, as I see, you must help the bee to collects the pollen from happy flowers.
There are 2 types of "pollens", the yellow one is really the pollen and the blue one is used as your gun to shoot your enemies.
In the first level, you will showed how to control the bee, the tutorial quite clear.
No enemies in the first time, as your level increasing you will get more enemies, like big bees, spiders, fireflies, torn flowers, etc. If the bee hits the enemy, it will lost some pollen which has been collected. So, you need to destroy the enemies by shooting at them.

Control

There are 2 kinds of controls here, gestures and buttons with joystick. Unfortunately, I don't think the controls are comfortable to use. Both has the plus and the min sides.
Let me tell you, first time I used gesture, it's easy to control from the first time by using only one finger to move the bee, tap the enemies to shoot, swipe and tap the flower for easier to get the pollen, nah I'm not sure it's use swipe or tap only, I just use the both gestures for this one. As you increasing your level, you will meet more enemies, I don't know it's a bug or something error, but I found its more difficult to control the bee. The bee can't move as quick as before, I must tap the bee again and again to keep its moving.. I don't know it's made me bit dissappointed, alright let's check if I used buttons control.
The joystick make me easy to control the bee to move right, move left, up and down. It's easy too for collecting the pollen from the nectar, a special button used for collecting the pollen pop up instantly from the flowers. However, it's become difficult when you want to shooting the enemies. You must swipe the shooting button in the right place, for example shoot in 30 degree for the enemy in 1 o'clock direction.. 120 degree for the enemy in 4 o'clock direction, etc.
You must make sure you swipe in right place to shoot the enemy. This one which I think it's hard for kids to use this control.

Game Mode
Just one mode in this game, adventure mode. There are 4 world, with 7 stages for each world. Unfortunately, the third and fourth world are coming soon. It's mean that the gameplay time of this game is so short, except if you want to repeat each level again and again.

Final result score
Graphics: 4.5 of 5 (Kids will love it esp the prologue)
Sound: 4 of 5 (lovely kids instrument)
Gameplay: 3.5 of 5 (just need improvement in the controls)
Replay value: 3 of 5 (cause by the unstable control and the available levels just too few
Overall: 3.75 of 5 (Okay, need more levels and inserting some story for make it more interactive)


I see there's a free version of this app calling BeBee.
For this one will cost you $0,99, click the download link below to buy the app
