Strange Attractors Mobile

No, that’s not a joke either I have 1360 apps right now, and I’m always adding more and trying to thin the herd or finish stuff so I can offload it. I can’t even imagine how many have downloaded over the years. Anyway, I was on some website looking for free games and came across this one and read someone’s short review about how awesome it was and if I remember right that it was someone’s project in college. It was I really wish they would’ve became a game developer because this is actually fun and challenging and not infuriating and it’s not scammy and just loaded with ads every five seconds. You’d be up all night to add this one to your library, and I hope the developer keeps it functional. There are some apps I hope never to lose of lost too many and this is one of the ones I want to keep and have available whenever I want to play

Way back in 2013 I reviewed the desktop version for the dudes over at Ominous Dev (one of which I share a profound bromance with going back to mopeds and cheap whiskey on the mean streets of Ann Arbor). I said something to the effect of its a “new classic”. What does that mean? It means the gameplay and visuals reminded me of my early 90s gaming days. The top down view and the overall “feel”. When Ominous approached me to test flight a new mobile version I said “son of a b****, I’m in.” This game is even more addicting on mobile. I’ll tell you right now it’s frustrating as heck at times. Not because of bugs or anything being unclear, but because it takes serious precision. Stick with it you short attention span millennial! It’s rewarding when you finally get that little floaty thing into the goal. Timing is everything. So, download and play this now. Right now. Doing it yet? I’ll wait.

seems simple on the surface, two buttons. how hard could it be? turns out there is a surprising amount of depth both of gameplay and design, if you are patient. sometimes less input is more control. i keep coming back to it.
