Remember the old film by the funny name "Critters" (1986), a small round creature from another planet, devouring any warm-blooded creatures in its path. And which only cost of this phrase is not a comedy, not a horror movie, "They eat everything so fast that you do not even have time to scream ...". Have you ever wondered what it's like their home planet? Maybe they were even a few ...
Perfect prequel to this film could be game Linkoidz. There is in them that the general. And the plot is fiction converge to almost perfectly. The Space Ranger Linkoidz ship crashes on a planet in the unexplored parts of the cosmos. But this is only half the trouble. Local Aborigines, such as round and as a bloodthirsty critters, seek to profit by the newly arrived and did not seek to make contact.
At first glance, it ties Linkoidz more suitable for the shooter, but in fact it is a puzzle. Most games of this kind it is distinguished by the presence of his own world with multiple locations, in which the main character moves. Thus, the game can hold five 12-educational levels, 18-Th missions or 3 and arcade mode (trimming, survival and Sprint).
Objectives in each mission range, which makes the game varied and fascinating: to destroy a certain number of villains, earn the required number of points, make a certain number of combos to destroy the bosses among hordes linkoydzov (as they are called).
Excellent developers find, lies in a force field. It restrains colored enemies until the player selects a combination vrazhin three in a row. The slower the enemy is destroyed, the stronger sags energy shield, so the time of decision-making is becoming less and less. The most dangerous parts of the shield are highlighted player combat suit the system in the form of an exclamation mark.
Gradually the game difficulty increases. In the battle with the ranger come new enemies species. Various bosses, frozen and stone linkoydzy. All this makes us constantly in tension and quickly deal with the regular portion of kruglyashey by dragging them in groups from one pile to another. This is facilitated by very convenient operation similar to the gesture of turning.
Another phrase from the "Critters": "They do nothing, they may not think about anything, they just eat, and when you realize that something is wrong, there is already too late ..."
What to say about the graphics? Support for retina display, combined with an attractive art proficiency should not leave the player indifferent. Animation movements as well at the level, but could be better. Audio effects and music are well chosen. It is possible to listen to your own library.
"This battle has begun in another galaxy, and will end in the backyard of the Browns ..."
Thanks to several modes, the game is able to maintain interest for a long time that the puzzle is an undoubted achievement. Integration with Game Center and Open Feint adds a spirit of competition and a lot of different achivok. As a result, Linkoidz another great game for those who like to think quickly and correctly.
