Rider

Hello. Today I will be reviewing a game called Rider. It was developed by Ketchapp and Monkey Food games, so just like all of Ketchapp's other games, this was designed to be played with only one hand. Let's get into it.

       Rider is a simple 2D game where you travel along a track with hills, jumps, loops, and other moving obstacles. You can only control the bike in 2 ways. While in the ground, you must touch the screen to accelerate and while in the air, touching the screen will cause you to rotate backwards. This mechanic means that there is no way to brake or reverse on the ground, or rotate fowards in the air. There are only 2 things you can do to customize your character. You can change the look of your bike or change the colors of the track, background, and bike. The currency in the game is used to buy a random bike of varying rarities. These prices will increase with each bike you buy. This is the only thing you can use these gems on. The ways you can collect these gems are by driving through them on the track, watching a video, or completing objectives. There is currently no way to purchase these gems. There are two types of objectives. The first type is a daily challenge where you must collect letters to spell out a word that pertains to the game, like "flip" or "Ketchapp". The second type of objective is assigned when you complete the previous objective. This is something like "collect exactly 8 gems 3 times," or "land    3 perfect flips 3 games in a row". Overall, this is not a game that is desgined to be played for hours on end. It's great to whip out when you have some downtime, but that is what Ketchapp has in mind with most of its games. In conclusion, this game is a simple game that will keep you entertained for hours. If you have liked Keychapp games in the past, this will most likely be a game that you will enjoy.

Colassatron

Hey guys, JB here again. Now I will be reviewing Colassatron, a game by Halfbrick. This game is a survival game where you are a giant robotic snake that is trying to destroy the world. You have little control over the snake, and the largest influence you have is that toucan add different weapons to Colassatron. The 3 primary colours will spawn randomly throughout your game, and with them you can create a purple weapon, an orange weapon, and a green weapon. All the weapons will cycle every 4 hours, but you can permanently unlock them for 15 prisms, which you earn after each game. You can also combine 3 of the same colour weapon to make a more powerful one, and if you combine that one with 2 other of the same colour and power, you will make an even stronger one. Overall, this game is a fun game to play if you don't have WiFi or data.

CSR Racing 2

Hey guys, it's JB again. Today I will be reviewing CSR 2, a drag racing game made by Natural Motion. In CSR 2, your goal is to find out who stole one of your friend's cars by gaining the respect of different crews. You do this by beating the members of the crew in a drag race. This game is the third game in the CSR series (There was CSR Classic) and I prefer this game to CSR or CSR Classic because there are more cars and most of the cars are cooler. There is also a multiplayer mode where you can race other players. I am already in the final race of the final crew and use a Lamborghini Huracan. There is a large selection of cars from the Golf GTI to the Hennessey Venom GT. So far, I have the Golf GTI, the Subaru WRX STI, the Mustang GT, the Nissan GTR Premium, and the Lamborghini Huracan. This game is definitely fun and I recommend it.

Hocus

         Today, I will be reviewing Hocus, a game by gamebra.in. This is a really weird game where you try to get to the end, but the track is usually a perspective puzzle, or an impossible shape. The best way to complete a level is to explore every possibility until you find a successful one. These puzzles can be really confusing, but fun if you can figure them out. Overall, I recommend this game if you want a quick game to play that uses no data and little storage.

Fallout Shelter

Hey guys, it's JB. Today I will be reviewing Bethesda Studios' Fallout Shelter. In Fallout Shelter, you are the Overseer of a vault, which is basically a giant bunker. In the Xbox game, you learn that these were built in case of a nuclear war. In Fallout Shelter, this has obviously happened and you, as the Overseer, are trying to keep everyone in your vault alive and happy for as long as possible. There are 3 different resources in Fallout Shelter, and they are power, food, and water. Without power, your vault will shut down and your rooms won't make any resources. Without water, your dwellers will start to get radiation poisoning, and without food they will slowly lose health until they die. Some other resources are Stim-Paks and Rad-Aways. Stim-Paks can be used to heal a dweller, and Rad-Aways can be used to stop radiation poisoning. The way to start producing these resources is to assign dwellers to rooms to produce them. Some dwellers are better at certain rooms than others, as indicated by their S.P.E.C.I.A.L score. There are two main currencies, and those are Caps and Nuka-Cola Quantum. Nuka-Cola Quantum is used to speed things up, and Caps are used to buy said things. You can also send Dwellers out into the Wasteland to fight enemies, collect loot, and gain experience. There are things called lunch boxes, which are the "Mystery Boxes" of
the game. There is only 2 ways to get them; buying them with actual money, and getting them from missions. As you can see, this game can get really complicated, but if you can manage the chaos, this game is worth it.

Stack

          Hello. Today I will be reviewing Stack, a game by Ketchapp. This is an arcade-style game where you try to stack blocks, but there's a twist: it's in 3D. The blocks alternate directions, which adds another level of challenge. This game is simple but addictive, and has already wasted 1.5 hours of my life, and is sure to use up much more. My high score is 52, and that was achieved on my second to last round. Overall, I recommend this game if you want a simple, but addictive game that uses no data and little storage.

Battle Bay

Hey guys. Today I will be reviewing Battle Bay, a third person shooter from Rovio. The object of this game is to kill the 5 ships on the other team before your team is killed. Another way to win is to capture an area in the center of the map. This game uses a decent amount of storage. Battle Bay also has a very long tutorial, but it's worth it. This game does have in-app purchases, but they are not necessary to play. Overall, Battle Bay is a fun third person shooter game made by Rovio for mobile.
