Giant meteors and giant bear heads come together!
:: RETRO CANDY

Usually a physics based puzzle game pits the player against against a fixed set of physics. It’s not often that the point of the game is actually to change the physics of each level, but that is exactly the point of Compulse. The game has a fixed set of physics rules, but players place force vectors or arrows in each level that define new forces in the level. 
The levels start very easy with wide open, empty stages. Later on obstacles like walls and one way barriers are introduced, and the ball must be led around the obstacles to the hole. Later still, keys are introduced which must be collected to unlock the hole before the ball can enter.

Chroisen supposedly has an epic storyline, but the translation is somewhat lost due to typographical errors and strange sentence structure. This isn’t necessarily a downside though because I’ve come to expect those elements as part of the true KRPG experience. Besides, the real meat of the game is in the combat and customization. There are four classes with various skills and job upgrades that all have their own play-style. There’s also an addictive title system that lets players earn new titles by completing certain tasks. To top it off, the developers added the ability to craft items and modify weapons/armor with stones and gems. The game also offers up in-app purchases of items and equipment, but they aren’t required to fully enjoy the game.
The combat is a typical hack ‘n slash system with special abilities assigned to the several slots surrounding the attack icon. The game’s circle pad makes character movement seem a little erratic, but with some practice I was able to get used to it. Battles can get repetitive, and there’s a lot of item and level grinding, but the attack animations are top notch. The graphics and sound are on par with other KRPG’s – they aren’t bad, but I’d be hard pressed to pick them out in a line-up of KRPG screenshots and audio clips. Character development drives the whole experience. I found myself blazing through the story and quest text just to grind through the next mission so I could enhance my character’s stats and abilities (the mini-map is a huge help).

Seeing a movie can be a tricky experience, especially when planning with friends. What Wigglehop attempts to do is to make the experience of discovering movie times far easier.

The big difference in Dragon’s Lair is the gameplay. Created by former Disney animator, Don Bluth, who worked on movies such as 101 Dalmations and Sleeping Beauty, it has players watching an interactive animation of sorts. Featuring a classsic Disney style that everybody will recognize, players use a series of well-timed button presses that correspond with the action on screen in order to keep the animation rolling — thus allowing our hero character, Dirk the Daring, to complete his quest to rescue Princess Daphne from the evil wizard. It’s an unusual formula when compared to the more typical idea of taking direct control of a character, but it means we get a visual style that couldn’t have been achieved any other way when these games hit the arcades, and would likely be tough to replicate in a real-time manner even by today’s standards.
My only complaint with playing Dragon’s Lair 2 on the iPhone is that the on-screen buttons take a lot of the focus away from the animation that made the series so great in the first place. A lack of any physical buttons meant I found myself looking at what I was pressing rather than watching Dirk clumsily slay all types of fantastical creatures — the on-screen buttons, although slightly transparent, still obstruct some of he action that’s going on. This is a compromise that doesn’t usually bother me in iPhone games, but in this particualr case I felt it really was taking away from the experience. It seems some iTunes reviews of the game have also complained of a bug whilst collecting the treasure that’s needed to finish the game; although I was unable to replicate this, I feel it has to be mentioned.
