Twistingo Review
Twistingo - a twist that tries to work (but doesn't quite)
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Well-designed neat graphics and calming music, addictive too.
It's nice, but for $18? I think not.Fairly decet but boring,
The concept is pretty simple. Put bingo in a new and good-looking context and you'll have yourself an addictive gaem. Not really.
The first problem I ran into was the fullscreen mode, which, despite searching, could not change to a 1280x640 resolution, so it it was completely offcentre on my screen. But apart from that the graphics well simplistic, bright and well-made, and the same goes for the music.
The game is a different story. Immediately it resembled the game Tumblebugs, which I thought was a bit suspicious. Also, since new balls aren't put in after they enter, all you have to do is look at the beginning and see if the number is there. Which makes the game a little less challenging and a bit more boring. But I can't deny it was addictive, and the power-ups and special balls they introduce make the game more interesting.
But of course children will love this game (cute monsters, lucky mascot, hint hint?), its got the right combination of ingredients. And children don't get bored as easily.
Something that will keep you occupied for about half an hour, after which your interest will slowly dwindle.
