Atlantisor - Marble Blast

"Zumba," or as you will discover upon downloading it, properly titled "Antlantisor" (Genuinely cool! No shame in naming it this, yet I understand trying to attract clicks using a name so close to "Zuma") is a decent game for its genre so far. It requires a quick reaction time and processing. Most of the sound and music is ripped from other games, in games for the first zone i have noticed it is literally stolen from Fishdom (the original bigfish pc version, i dare not see the new mobile one after the ads) and the victory fanfare is a slowed down Ode to Joy much like after completing a level of Peggle Deluxe: It's like a weird amalgamation of nostalgia that doesn't quite belong there. All deliberation of bootleggedness aside, it's a decent game, and so far ads have not intruded upon my personal gameplay. May update this review as I get farther into it, but hey, free gems, whatever I'm gonna use those for. GG. Update: The coins are practically useless, I can't seem to figure out how to "buy and upgrade" the cards. Maybe that's just on my end, maybe I'm dumb.

This game is challenging, yet very fun to play. But I can only give it 4 stars because the developers do not add new levels fast enough. They say they add new levels every few weeks, which is just not true. When they add new levels it usually takes me a couple of weeks to finish them. Then I go back to each new level to get all 3 stars if I didn’t the first time. That usually takes me a few weeks, because it is very challenging to get 3 stars, especially on EXPERT levels. And then I wait and wait and wait for new levels to be added. And I don’t even know why I bother trying to get all the stars, since you can’t use them for anything after about level 81, I think. Gems are useless too.

I have NO idea how I managed to put so many hours into this game. This is a casual, easy to learn, fast-paced game. I consider games like this perfect "thinking" games...not because the game itself takes a lot of thought (it doesn't) but because you can let your mind go elsewhere while playing. But yet, it is still a fun little game to get serious about if you want to. This is exactly what a casual game should be. Colorful graphics, many different game boards, addictive (I am trying to cut down), and fast-paced.
