Fun Little Multitasking Game

I wan’t expecting much from the graphics, but this was an entertaining little find. The levels are a succession of creative little minigames you have to complete really quickly, almost always having to do one with your right hand and another with your left hand at the same time. Some times you even use multiple fingers of the same hand to work multiple minigames at once. Prepare to be laser focused, because you do need to be fast.

It turns out it doubles as a pretty fun way to train your brain to do two tasks at once (and have the coordination to do so). I’ve searched for some sort of ambidestry training app in the past and never found many good options, but this one has a bit of what I was looking in one back then. Except it’s a game so rather than the training mechanics you get a nice little gaming experience instead.

The only critique I have is that I completed the game (all power up unlocks and final boss) in only 42 minutes. After that you unlock an Endless mode to keep playing, but it would have been nice to have more levels and unlocks to go through to keep it interesting.

Another suggestion is having a landscape play mode as well, as I feel it can be a little cramped doing some minigames on the limited space of the portrait orientation.

Thank you for this really nice review! So glad you enjoyed it :)

Great 80s style Warioware-like game with no IAPs

I’m not sure how long the game is free for, but I received it for free after hearing about it on reddit, I believe discounted from the full price of $2.99 or less.

Now the game isn’t very long, I played for 4 sessions, maybe an hour, hour and a half total. It is enjoyable, and you’ll unlock an endless mode and run for high scores.

The graphics are inspired by the 80s, all sorts of bright neons against a black background. All of the gameplay comes through 1-2 second long Warioware style mini-games, and you’ll be doing several of them at a time. The game is heart pounding and fast-paced, and I enjoyed my time with it but it does feel a little short at the end of the day.

That said, it was a free download with no in-app purchases that I was happy to play. Looking forward to their next project.

I have tiger blood running through my veins.

I’m really bad at this game, but it’s addictive and I want to win because I’m a winner and winners never lose.
