Hey all, it’s been a while since our last post so I’ll do a quick round up of what we’ve been playing this week.
First up is Boom Beach from SuperCell – This is a great little game for playing when you have a few minutes to spare.
You build a base, collect resources and raid other peoples bases – simples!
There are different troops and defences and a variety of ways to attack. I’m sure that this will do pretty well – it’s free to play, but very easy to spend real money on.
Next up is Dwarven Den – The Mining Puzzle Game from Backflip Studios – which is free to play and quite good fun.
This is probably the first free to play game I’ve played where I haven’t had to spend any money on it – or felt the need too. You can easily upgrade your gear and progress through the game nicely without having to break the bank.
I’m on level 23 so far and have only failed once on a level, so I’d think that this is either aimed at younger players, or the difficulty ramps up slowly.
The levels take around 5 mins to play if you want to collect all the hidden secrets, but some can be finished a lot quicker – well worth an install, especially good if you want to keep the kids quiet for half an hour 🙂
Finally for this post, I’ve just started to play Hakitzu Elite:Robot Hackers from Kuato Studios. Now the cool thing about this game is that it teaches you how to code Java Script by playing the game.
The tutorials are great and very easy to follow. The step by step approach eases you into coding very nicely with its simple approach. Now, the game itself could look better, but that’s not really the point.
The point is that it interactively guides you into programming your first moves, which you can then see straight away and even take onto multiplayer battles once you get the hang of it. Personally, I’ve never really been one for programming, but this has certainly sparked an interest in me, but for anyone interested in getting into programming, this is a very good place to start. Thanks Kuato!
