Minescape, explota

Umbrella Games acaba de publicar Minescape, una reinvención del "Buscaminas" adaptada para Smartphones. Con una factura técnica envidiable. Si quieres un juego para pensar, no lo dudes. Tras un par de minutos iniciales en los que adaptarse a la mecánica a seguir dispondremos de una gran cantidad de niveles.



Minescape funciona de la siguiente forma. Unos puntos conectados con otros presentan un número que indica a cuántas bombas están conectados. Tu misión es interceptar las bombas haciendo un rápido cálculo ya que cada nivel nos da un tiempo límite.

Redungeon, mazmorras infinitas

Redungeon es un juego muy divertido que nos traslada a una mazmorra infinita que se va generando aleatoriamente. En este juego somos un héroe que podemos controlar con una sola mano y nuestro dedo pulgar. Deslizar hacia arriba, izquierda, derecha… Para movernos mientras esquivamos una gran variedad de obstáculos y recogemos monedas que más tarde servirán para comprar vidas y desbloquear premios.

  

 

En líneas generales es un juego muy divertido y que te engancha, vamos. Pero tiene un defecto desde mi punto de vista y es el constante acoso con la publicidad. Yo, que suelo ser bastante tolerante con la forma de ganarse la vida de los desarrolladores no comparto en absoluto que desde el minuto uno mueras y ya quieran presentarte un vídeo publicitario. Video que puedes saltarte pagando monedas o reiniciando la partida. Dicho todo esto, no deja de ser un juego con una excelente jugabilidad y buena factura técnica.

Pitweenk, un juego de plataformas genial

Más de lo que aparenta en un principio. Tras esos preciosos gráficos que parecen de caramelo y unos controles sencillos (sólo nos movemos de izquierda a derecha) se esconde todo un juego de plataformas en el que para ir avanzado debemos sortear obstáculos en el momento preciso. Ni más, ni menos. Hacen falta reflejos y calcular muy bien como superar cada prueba que nos impone cada uno de los 21 niveles de Pitweenk.








Factura técnica muy buena, gráficos muy correctos y sonidos estilo 8-bits nos devuelven a tiempos de Mario y Sonic con unos controles sencillos acordes a la capacidad táctil de nuestros iPhone. Uno de esos juegos en los que te atascas en algún nivel y te das de cabezazos hasta que no consigues pasar al siguiente, y lo digo por experiencia.

La versión gratuita es el juego completo pero incluye publicidad.

Bonecrusher, velocidad y reflejos

La mecánica de Bonecrusher es sencilla. Somos una calavera que puede moverse de izquierda a derecha dando toques en la pantalla. Mientras, los enemigos intentarán aplastarnos cuando intentemos recoger huesos, que son algo así como bonus para nosotros. 

 

Buena factura técnica, un juego sencillo para pasar unos niveles en los ratos libres. Eso sí, hay que tener muy buenos reflejos.

Risky Rooms, te desesperarás

Este es uno de esos juegos que considero perfectos para lo que es un smartphone. Sacas el teléfono mientras vas en el autobús o esperas el Metro, echas una partida rápida y ya continuarás más tarde. .



Risky Rooms viene con 50 niveles, de apariencia sencilla. Eres un cuadrado y tú única misión es avanzar entre peligros tocando la pantalla. Un toque avanzas, sueltas toque y te paras. Así de simple. Lo difícil es hacerlo en el momento adecuado. A pesar de la apariencia tan sencilla del juego lo cierto es que es de una factura técnica muy cuidada y el ambiente "dark" da un toque muy chulo. Aviso a navegantes, el juego desespera lo suyo. A partir del nivel 5 ya comienzas a morir unas cuantas veces tratando de pasar al siguiente.

Slip Away, izquierda-derecha-izquierda

Sencillo juego donde lo único que hay que hacer es tocar la pantalla para movernos de izquierda a derecha y esquivar diversos obstáculos. La puntuación aumenta según ayudamos a nuestra medusa protagonista a subir a la superficie. Siguiendo la moda Flappy Bird pero añadiendo 2 controles en vez de uno. Visualmente precioso.
