GameDevEntry#10 - Swordigo

Swordigo is a side-scrolling action-adventure game in which the player can run, jump, swing their sword, and use magic spells. By defeating enemies, the player will gain experience; upon levelling up, they can choose to upgrade one of their attributes (health, attack power, or magic.) They will also find new items and equipment that will make them more powerful and grant new abilities (bombs blow up walls, lightning hits far-away switches, etc.), additionally being able to buy items from shops using money reaped from defeated enemies. The player can bring up a map at any time, which keeps track of their location and the areas they have already visited; they will also find portals that will allow them to quickly backtrack to previous areas.

From the images above, the player can upgrade his health (increasing his maximum hp), attack (increasing his overall damage (magic and physical), and magic (increasing his maximum mana). In the second image, There have three slots in the inventory, one for the sword, armor and spell. At the start of the game, you only have a wooden sword to use with an average of 4-7 attack damage. You can replace a stronger sword by defeating  dungeon boss (level boss). There have also trinkets(magic orbs) that can be attach on your items, it gives buff or effect on your item. Example in your sword, if you attach fire orb/ trinket, any enemies you hit will be ignited and takes damage per second. If ice trinket is attached, any enemies you hit will be slowed. And if it is a shadow trinket, it will increase your sword damage that can make a devastating attack on the enemy. 

The story of the Swordigo is about the vengeance of the main protagonist (don’t have a name ) or the player to “The Corruptors” who killed his master. On the story, in order for the player to defeat the main root of the “The Corruptors” he need a magic sword named “Mage Blade”. However, he need to find the scattered pieces/parts of the sword and reforge it. The shattered pieces of the sword can be obtained after defeating a “boss” in a dungeon or level.

Parallel 2 & Parallyzed

 Parallel 2 is a single player platformer game I found and played on Y8.com (cause I'm running out of games) where the player controls three characters and guides them through an obstacle course so that all three characters can reach the finish line.

The game play might be very easy but what adds a challenge to the game is that the player does not control the characters individually, but simultaneously in such a way that controlling one character to jump also triggers the other two characters to jump as well. The three characters are also separated from each other by barriers and each of them can either have the same obstacle or a different one.

Personally, I enjoy playing games that are similar to Parallel. Aside from being a form of entertainment, it could also activate and make use of the player's critical thinking skills. The minimal yet striking interface also contributes to the overall gameplay of the online game.

As I was saying a few sentences ago, I enjoy playing games similar to Parallel 2 and one such game is Parallyzed. Parallyzed is a single player runner game available on Google Play (not sure if its available on App Store :/). In the game, the player controls the twins, Red and Blue, as they walk (run, rather) through a dream-like setting as Red tries to find a way to save her sister, whom she had accidentally killed out of jealousy.

The challenging part in playing Parallyzed is that there are many rules you have to follow. First is that, in the game, there are orbs that block the way and the player must see to it that the sisters walk through their color (Blue through blue orbs, and Red through... you got it right, red orbs). 

Next is that there are instances wherein obstacles are only for one of the characters and you have to watch the path for both of them. Third, and last, is that there are special orbs that shifts the gravity (one or both of them can be running on the ceiling, for instance).

Parallyzed is actually a very great and challenging game. Its graphics and design are very surreal and appropriate to the theme which makes players want to play it over and over.

Entry# 10 “A Bug On a Wire”

In this simple but entertaining game you must control a bug in its journey over the phone lines.  This game is like a subway surfer. For me this was the first before the subway surfer was release. I last played  this game when I was an elementary student. It was fun because it was very intense when the birds is blocking your way. This game can be played in miniclip or in a mobile app.

Your mission is simple; you have to survive as long as possible. This is not easy because you will be travelling at high speed over the phone lines, and you will have to avoid at all costs getting eaten by a crow. Those pesky birds will land on the phone lines and wait until you pass by, if you are on the same line as the crow you will lose the game.

The main character is exactly an ant. It has no story but to get a high score. When the time pass the speed of the ant and more bird are trying to eat you. The feeling when the bird is nearly eaten you is like having a heart attack. You can jump through the bird or search for a way to avoid the hungry birds. I really admire the game because of its simple UI and very pleasant to the eye of the user.

The point of the game is how long can you survive the game. How fast is your reflex when a new bird is approaching you.

HUGOT of the day!

How long can you survive if you know your partner dose’t love you anymore.

Stick Figure Badminton

I played it with my classmate Iris. It was a two player game and the game itself is simple, since its just like you are playing a real badminton the defense and the way to win the game is in your hand. When we are playing it. The first attempt is boring but since I lose the game I ask Iris if we can play it again. And OKn the second until seventh attempt I always lose the game thats why it challenge me to continue playing until I win the game. And ofcourse my hardwork and tactics won. I win the game. Hahaha it was a nice game simple but you need to think and have your own tactics.

What goes up, must come down

What’s up ?

I’m sure you know the game Subway Surfers and Temple Run. What do you think of these games ? What do you think are their similarities ? That’s right, both of them are endless running video game. They share the same gameplay. The player will have to control the character running away from a Gorilla/Monster (in Temple Run) and police officer (in Subway Surfers). It seems that one of them is cloned from the other. Well, who knows ?

Okay, let’s start.

This week’s entry will be a game developed and published by Miniclip. The game became popular in 2010. The game is called Gravity Guy.

Gravity Guy side-scrolling endless runner/action/arcade video game.

So, what is this game all about ?

Temple Run and Subway Surfers are both 3D video games whereas Gravity Guy is a 2D video game.

The player will control the character Gravity Guy throughout the game. Well, since the game is endless, every run is called a game. Gravity Guy is controlled by tapping the screen to switch gravity. The objective is to run as far as possible while avoiding obstacles that can trap the main character (who can be killed by a police officer), falling or flying off the screen. If killed, the player returns to the last checkpoint taken. Scores will be recorded and of course, the player may showcase his highscore among his friends.

The three types of gaming modes in the game are Story Mode, Endless and Practice. Story mode features up to sixty levels for both "Run" and "Rescue", thirty levels for each part of the story, with up to fifteen levels in the original Flash game.Endless mode consists of running through randomly generated levels, while Practice mode goes through the levels from the story without the police officer. This game also contains multiplayer mode, allowing up to four players (using Game Center on iOS or locally) to play the game.

So, as usual, I’ll tell my opinions about the game.

I already played this game before, way back 2011. Comparing this to other games now, I say that this game still needs improvement (obviously, all games need improvement). For people who will play this game for the first time, they might find it enjoyable but eventually will not. The gameplay is fine as well as the design. The design is pretty well made , as expected from Miniclip. Their designs are just awesome. The game contains most of the formal elements. Overall, the game is just fine. But let me tell you what is interesting in this one :D . Unlike Temple Run and Subway Surfers, this game features multiplayer mode where players are able to compete with each other in real time. Players will only have to use the same phone. The screen will be divided equally and players will control their characters facing each other. 

Well, I find this unique because players will compete not by high scores but by skills. Awareness and hand-eye coordination are needed in order to win against the other player. The game will be great if played with friends. The maximum will be four players. As the game goes on, the level of difficulty rises. 

So, I think that’s all for this week’s entry. I wasn’t able to criticize more on this game because it doesn’t really entertain me, I think. Anyway, this is a game and I chose this to be my this week’s subject. Until next week ! :D :D 

Watch out for my next entry ! :D

Swamp Attack

For my entry no. 10!

Defend your house! Your swamp cottage is under attack by animals gone crazy. You have to defend it and survive the oncoming attacks from the evil zombie critters who know no mercy.

All in all this game is fun to play, because in every stage there is a title of stage for example in first stage titled “Such a nice evening” and also you will get some gift that will help you to defend your house, aside from that in able to win in every stage you need to have a good strategy because in the beginning you just have a 6 bullets of shot gun and you don’t have anything but along the run you may get some other weapon to help you to win and finish the game. maybe we can add also that kind of event that in every beginning of the stage there will be titled and in the ending sometimes you will get gift. that’s all thank you!

Farm Heroes Saga 

is a game, developed by King. Just like Candy Crush Saga and Bejeweled, it's a 3-match game, and it has cropsies obviously instead of candies or jewels. Collectable cropsies are just vegetables like carrots, onions and more! In-game you have the ability to Facebook Sync and battle your fellow competitors. There are versions for the two popular mobile platforms which have possibly sightly different rules. Unlike in Candy Crush you have more complex rules with various goals to accomplish. Cropsies often have bonuses attached to them which need to be considered when trying to be successful. If you don't use Facebook you will join a party of human players who will help you. This game is free but in-game features such as boosters are partially required to be paid. Dairy District is the first episode of Farm Heroes Saga and that in the game it introduces everything that you need to know, like examples of how to play and how to use the boosters. This episode is extremely easy and a tutorial episode, too. The game continues to introduce new features and they are always explained with examples.

When I played this game it was fun just like when I also played Candy Crush but the difference is their power ups and anything. There’s a boss battle that adds more fun to play the game.

Journal Entry 10

Superstar BTS is released by Big Hit Company which is have the same concept with guitar hero. In this case a player needs to accomplish a certain song by tapping all the given notes. In every accomplished level, there is a category which are easy, normal, and hard. There are also a theme cards, it can be unlocked if the you ranked up your character. Likewise in songs, it has the same process with theme cards, the more accomplished level, the more songs you can unlocked.

I played the game during our free time, at first I feel bored because it is mundane. So as I selected the easy mode, I finished it. But when I select the normal and hard mode, I am pressured because it is really difficult! Only experts on tapping the screen can survive. Later on, my classmates played it too! I can say that they have fun because of the great tension, they enjoyed it too. Mostly of them are soft kpop stans so they can relate with the songs. We are happily screaming when the notes are missed and we are about to lose the level. The game encompasses an easy procedures and simple set of rules, the graphics and audio input are also well organized. The game runs in a smooth sailing way, but one thing that I don’t like is it needs internet connection. It is the boundary/limitation, when you have no net connection, you can no longer play the game. Only few dramatic elements are involved, it is more on formal elements.
