It might… /i/web/status/1… 46 minutes ago I'm getting ready to wrap-up Avenging Spirit, and that means Capcom Fighting Collection is next. “You better be a good game maker, or else your next console will be a Wii U!”īlok Drop U and Color Zen are Chick-Approved and ranked on the Indie Gamer Chick Leaderboard.

COLOR ZEN PC HOW TO

Someone out there has to have an idea of how to justify this machine’s existence as something other than a cautionary tale for would be console manufactures. I’m issuing a challenge to all indie developers with eyes on Wii U: you do it. We were told that the Wii U was a unique experience that would contain all kinds of games that couldn’t be done anywhere else and it just plain hasn’t happened. However, I’m still waiting for that defining game that can only be done using the Wii U’s unique hardware and controller. I guess it’s nice that the Wii U is finally getting a decent assortment of games of different genres and prices.

In fact, there’s no point in having the television on at all since all the gameplay and action is done with the touch screen.Ĭolor Zen was developed by Large Animal Games ($3.99 noted the game is free on iOS and Android but getting all the puzzles found in the Wii U version will still run you $3.99 in the making of this review)

Levels in Color Zen can be knocked out in a minute or two, making it perfect for portable gaming. Overall, it’s a good package and worth the money.įirst off, and I know I say this almost every time I bring up the fucking thing, but the Wii U is the completely wrong platform for this game. There’s over 450 puzzles here, and there are different variations, like levels where some objects are mirrored and you move two at once. You certainly get a lot of content for $4. By the way, I hate it when I struggle to explain a relatively easy concept.

It’s a fairly simple game, and again, stuff like it has been done before. Along the way, they throw in colors like white (which acts as a sort of wildcard) and black (which will eliminate an object instead of painting the screen with it). Keep doing this until there’s no more shapes left to match, at which point you win the round if the whole screen matches the color of the frame. Pushing matching shapes causes the entire screen (except whatever shapes are different colors) to become just that color. There’s a colored frame around the playfield, and various colored shapes. Like Blok Drop U, you’ve probably played games like this. But hey, they don’t want to let all 47 Wii U owners down, and props to the guys at Cypronia for their consideration.

It is coming to 3DS as well in June, which is really the only Nintendo platform it should be on. Speaking of which, Color Zen released this week on Wii U. It just makes more sense as a portable game. Oh, and to address the elephant in the room, YES, it’s on the wrong platform. It’s also the cheapest game in the entire Wii U eShop at $1.99, and I do recommend it. Besides the short length and the lack of curve, Blok Drop U is a perfectly fine game. I don’t know how it built the inertia to roll, but that screwed me over once or twice. Like having the target block fall straight down, without sloping, landing flush on a platform, and then rolling. My only other complaint is sometimes the physics seem to screw you over.

With the possible exception of the saw levels, Blok Drop U is about as stimulating as a warehouse full of straw.īlok Drop U was developed by RCMADIAX ($1.99 said the developer is paying for the word “Block” in monthly installments in the making of this review) I know that minimalism is an established style, especially on the indie scene, but games are a visual medium and gamers are looking for stimuli. Maybe that wasn’t their actual intent, but it feels that way. These visuals almost feel like they’re giving up on attracting non-puzzle fans. I think the developers failed themselves as commercial artists here. I certainly wasn’t bored by it, but I’m wired to enjoy puzzle games. Blok Drop U’s visuals are so dull that it becomes almost tiring.

But, I kind of have to talk about it here. I’m very much a “gameplay is King” type of chick. At Indie Gamer Chick, I almost never talk about graphics. I guess I enjoyed Blok Drop U, but I have a few nits to pick. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Portal has creatively bankrupted an entire generation. Sadly, everyone wants a sweet, sweet taste of that Portal-style minimalism pie. Anything would have been better than nothing. The developers really should have come up with some kind of theme, ANY THEME, for Blok Drop U.
