As you might be aware of by now, I’m somehow a fan of linedrawing action-games. I’m not saying I’ve played them all but today I found a new one that certainly looks interesting! I’m talking about Harbor Havoc 3D, which was relesed just yesterday and is now available on the AppStore for $ 1.99.
Just yesterday I found a game that made me try it and today there is another one coming straight at me. This time it’s Little Runner. This game is somehow similar to Canabalt since your goal is as well to run as long as you can but yet it’s completly different! :) In Little Runner you don’t control the runner but the environment he’s running on. The little fellow keeps running from left to right on it’s own, slowly first but gains speed as you go on.
To make it a little easier for the player you don’t have to grab your (virtual) shovel and move serious amounts of gravel. In the game you rather just slide up and down 4 or 5 plattforms to make sure the height difference between them is not too big. Otherwise little runner will bump into the wall or fall down. Both results in a lost game of course!
The game is about 15.4 MB big so this seems like a little…heavy and unsporty if you ask me! ;) But well, this might be due to the heavy use of comic-style graphics on the one hand and that the game was built using Unity on the other hand. Oh and of course there is a pretty cool soundtrack included as well that might add to the load.
Funny detail: This is, as far as I know, the first Indy-Game that sells it’s soundtrack standalone on iTunes! You can buy the Little Runner Soundtrack here. You don’t *have* to buy it of course and for my ears that’s not even an option. :) Don’t get me wrong! The soundtrack is kind of cool – in the game. Without the game…not so much. But that might as well be due to my ears being stuck back in the 80s! :o)
Oh and before I finish this post: Here’s one wish for the next update! Maybe the developers could include a second runner to choose? Maybe…something more like…this one?!
After over one year I had enough of the old WordPress-Theme I was using so I decided to switch to a new one. This one should still resemble somehow a coffee-house/diner-theme but it’s a bit more modern…well…and the colors match the season a bit better! :)
Anyway, I hope you like it and please be patient if some things don’t work over the next few days.
Thanks!
Today I played a bit of Space Master, which was released yesterday by Windmill Apps. And I have to say, it’s somuch fun that I choose to make this one the App of day.
Space Master is a new entrant in the line-draw-category of games. So just as in FlightControl you simply draw lines to control your game. Instead of airplanes you have to land space-ships on the moon or – at higher stages – other planets with varying gravity and traffic density.
