Super Marble Roll: a killer iPhone tilt control game
When I played Super Monkey the first time, I knew something was illogical with the whole concept. At least I know now, it was the unreasonable wavering of the drunken like baby monkey. It swirls like a smooth marble. This I come to know when I saw Super Marble Roll from iScape Games Ltd.
The titles of the mentioned games sounds similar and the gameplay is very much similar too. In Super Monkey Ball you tilt and guide a baby monkey through maze after maze without letting it fall off. In Super Marble Roll, you’ve to tilt your device and guide a ball on a neatly designed space courses.
I personally find the rolling of the blue ball realistic and the courses as mentioned above are graphically excellent. As you roll the ball from one end of the course to the other, you need to collect the precious stones strewn on the path.
The game clock is ticking fast, you have to make to the other end within the specified time.
I am yet to figure out the number of levels they have given with this first version. As you know is the rule of games, the higher you go the more difficult they become. You have three lives, losing all the lives kicks you back to level one of the game.
The time you spend on this game would greatly depend on how good you are in playing tilting games on the iPhone. It would be a minutes game for some and an hour or two for others.
While I am really impressed with the gorgeous graphics, responsiveness of the control and amazing sound effects, I somehow feel the absence of an option to pause the game. Once you start the game, you cannot practically turn around or even steal the time wink.
Pause/resume button needs to be incorporated. The present version also does not display the global high score of the game. Lack of this feature reduces the competitive push of the game.
However, I am sure marble game fans, arcade game freaks and tilt game lovers would not say no to Super Marble Roll.
