In Search of a Bird's Family: A Grayland Game Review

Hello and back again with me. Yes, it hasn't been long after my last post and if you're thinking why, the answer is quite simple. As for now, I'm trying to improve my writing, both in terms of quality and as a habit, and I figured that this activity may be a suitable means of doing it(and hey! Another legit reason to play games!). Alright enough with the background, and let's get into this game! Its a game review of none other than Grayland.

Grayland is a 2D adventure game developed and published by 1DER Entertainment back in December 2019. This unity powered game is available to play on both pc and mobile experience. This game doesn't take up much space as it only weighs around 50 MB. 

Story

The game begins with a cutscene showing some hunters who just caught a bird nest, complete with the eggs and the bird. After they left, we will see another bird, previously shot down by the hunters, getting back up and in pursue of its family. Along the way, we will see how messed up the world is, as an alien invasion is on the go and war is raging. We, as the bird, will begin our journey through all this mess to find its family and eventually uncovering the bigger role we would play later in the story. 

Gameplay

The gameplay surrounding this game is primarily based on the mobile joystick, of which you will use to move around the level. You can readjust things regarding the control in the setting, which I found helpful. The game uses one of those vector style for its visual and I like it, it kinda reminds me of Shadow Fight or Vector itself from Nekki. To unlock the next level, you are required to watch an advertisement, or you can just pay for an Ad-free version of it. The theme/soundtrack of the game is fine, although it will get monotonous as its going to be played for the entire game. In every level, there will be many obstacles and boy, at lease based on my experience, some of them are just too sensitive. Even one very small mistake could bring you back to the checkpoint. I've lost count of how many times the bird got sniped and boy, it sure got frustrating for me. So a little tips for you all, don't play the game in a bad mood, I don't any of you to be left with a gadget casualty. Oh another thing is this game would make your phone buzz/vibrate as if there's no tomorrow, its a respond when the bird is getting near a threat (nuclear waste). But thankfully, this can also be fixed in the settings.

Overall Thought

This game took me almost a week to finish, although some of its levels are frustrating, I ended up taking that time due to my daily busyness. The game really tested my patience, gotta admit that, and I think it was what made the game somewhat unbearable at times to me. Aside from its down, I have to admit that the story it offers and how tense/enjoyable some of its levels are enough to convince me to recommend this game to you. I give this game an 7.8 out of 10. But again, this is merely my judgement, for a better view of it you can just go to the Play Store or Steam to see the game through to the end and form your own thought about it. 

Alright, that's all there is for now and thanks for reading and stopping by! See you on my next post!

Re-coloring the grey spaces: A "Lilac and Her Light" Game Review

Howdy folks! How is it all going? Hopefully good. So I recently managed to set aside some time to complete a game (as if I never have time for it XD), and write a review of it. This time, its going to be a brief review of a game I finished in less than an hour. This is a review of Lilac and Her Light! Lilac and Her Light is a game developed by Npckc and was released back in October 2018. Its a story based pixelated game(one of my favorite types!) or you can say that its an RPG/Role playing games. You can download it through the Play Store or the developer's website (I'll drop the link below later). The game is pretty small, only around 16 Mb, meaning its practically accessible with phones nowadays.  The Story At the start, we will find ourselves playing as a girl, named Lilac, who lives in an extraordinary grey house, in which every house hold items and Lilac herself are also grey. We soon learn that she has an odd condition where everything that made contact with her would los...

New Hobby : The Art of Toy Photography

Most people still think that the only thing toy collectors do to their toys is simply as an ornament. A piece that only acts merely for display purposes, but the current stigma is actually wrong! Truth is there are tons of stuff you can do with your toys, the one I'm putting on the menu now is an art called Toy Photography. Toy photography is just another form of photography, but it specifies in using toys as the subject. It can be done both indoor and outdoor, even underwater as long as you have the right equipment. It also uses the same equipment as the usual photography with an exception of the toy's support utilities (Figure stands, dioramas, extra lighting, etc). To me, it's a perfect activity for toy collectors including me as a way to put your toys in action! From many professional toy photographers I know, there are 3 main points of toy photography, they are: 1. Bringing the toys to life Most of the toy shots I've seen are so good they manage to chan...

Another dream to travel! Lucid Dream Chapter 2

Finally, it's December! Which means two things, Chrismast and tons of free time (I hope). So while I'm here I brought another review, a continuation of the previous game I talked about. It's Lucid Dream 2. I paid around 8.000 Rupiah for it, equivalent to 0.70$, and for that price, it's one of the best purchases I made this year! Without further ado let's get into it!  So in the last game, the Oneicromancer paid a visit to Lucy. He told her about these "Gods" that have the power to save her mom. After this, the game begins and you will meet Metron, a sentient being who guards the place. There Lucy asks him for help, Metron accepts it by one condition, for  Lucy to do him a favor. Basically, Lucy is asked to set free a lost soul who had been stuck there, unable to move. You'll face many puzzles, at some point, you will meet a flying elephant (I forgot the name tho) who will ask you for help. Later on, he will give Lucy a potion or some sort of...
