Major Rocks Review
The first thing you see when you open this game is the option to upgrade to the full version and receive extra features for $1.15, these features include more lives, extra levels and the removal of advertisements. In my opinion it is worth paying the small one-time fee because of these next features you will see mentioned in this review.
The graphics in this game are basic, 2D but enjoyable. Although they are simple they are a good example of why graphics don't need to be realistic and powerful in gaming. I really enjoyed playing this game and the graphics made it easier to understand the game and therefore it played a positive effect. The detail on the rocks was enough to convince me on the game without testing the gameplay. Again the graphics aren't advanced but don't need to be to work well in the game.
The sound effects fitted the game well and again if I was judging the game just on the sound it would convince me to give the game a try. The soundtrack in the background also were nice and made better than absolute silence.
The gameplay I found to be smooth, I played this on my Hudl as it's an android tablet. Although the Hudl shows its age sometimes it was able to run the game to perfection. This should be a compliment to the developing team. I found the game as an 'easy to play but hard to master' type game. I enjoyed playing the game and will continue to play it after this review. This is another reason for why I find the $1.15 fee reasonable
To sum up the game, I found it all-round enjoyable. Very consistent graphics and gameplay. The sound effects were solid and the game running smoothly on my tablet was a bonus. Overall a good game and you can see the developers hard work. I hope to hear more about this game in the near future and will continue to update this review as time goes by.
CURRENT RATING 8/10
