Xibalba 12+

I was looking for an FPS and I couldn’t find one that actually looked appealing. I saw this and I was like “Oh, it’s kind of like a new type of DOOM for mobile devices.” And so I bought it and played it and what do know it was the best thing ever! I completed the game in one day and the final boss fight was a very creative way of doing it like instead of just having to run around and shoot at the boss. It was just great. Despite the low content, I still like it better then other games. It’s also the most simple. In other FPS’s, there’s a shoot button a grenade button a switch weapons button a jump button and etc. But in this, there’s only like four buttons! Which is a good thing. But I think you should definitely make a second one that has an online multiplayer. If you can’t do that then you should make one called “Xibalba SURVIVAL” and with all the classic weapons from the first Xibalba and just a few new ones. In Xibalba SURVIVAL you have to survive onslaughts of enemies and for every wave you survive you get a few coins and the next wave gets harder. Every five or sixth wave there should be some type of mini boss. And the coins you can collect to buy upgrades for your guns in the shop. This would all be awesome if you could make it.

When I went into this, I expected a short little romp made with no effort at all. I was pleasantly surprised it’s short, and while it is still a romp, it was a decent little one. I can tell a lot of effort was put into this. There are three weapons. One of them is a weapon of plasma machine pistol the second a double barrel shotgun a rifle, but that’s what shotguns are in real life so it’s fine and the final one is a rocket launcher very powerful that I didn’t get to use it very much very low ammo. From what I could gather through the cryptic transition messages the game is about destroying a ancient Mayan god, explaining how people long ago used to sacrifice themselves? It wasn’t very clear but it wasn’t really the point. the level design is pretty samey nothing much differentiating each level besides the tech switch up towards the middle but it’s short so it doesn’t matter too much. I’m not gonna go over every enemy, but I’m also gonna transition into visuals. They are OK. I am a fan of pixel stuff and the environment stuff is fine. some of the enemies look OK they have cool designs but the one enemy that sticks out like a sore thumb is that one that runs at you and throws foliage, it looks too blurry. I’m honestly hoping for a sequel that improves on these but considering I’m 99% sure this game is like eight years old I don’t think it’s happening and I’m not even sure of the developers exist anymore. So overall a alright game I recommend.

Xibalba is a good game. I mean that with full objective sincerity. It is a good game. This game is fully fleshed out with enemies, weapons, levels, and boss fights and leaves the player thinking about the mysterious world Xibalba paints. This game shines like a beacon in the app store, as the developers didn’t settle for a cash-grab free game where they let you play a level for free and then immediately instate a paywall that’s 7.99 a week to play the rest of the game. This game knows what it is. It isn’t like the trash, ad-filled free games on the app store. You pay the money, you get the game. It’s that simple, no further micro transactions, you just play. And this is a solid title for a casual console game, let alone a mobile game. I can’t praise the developers of this game enough because they executed what they set out for with perfect ease and then they didn’t fall down the greedy pitfall of most app developers these days. Thank you, Xibalba. You give me hope for the future of mobile games.
