Welcome, everyone, to an android app/game review!
This is my first post on here, so be nice!
Obviously kidding...
Anyways, here's a preview of the game:


Watched it? Good. Let's hop in to the review, here's how it's gonna go, for these reviews, I will have different sections of the game reviewed differently. This is the order:

Gameplay, Story, Graphics, Sound and Music.

So, let's hop in to the GAMEPLAY!

The gameplay is very, very simple. You have a sword that expands and retracts, you have to slash at the right time to cut the orbs in to pieces. You get two tries, too. It gets more complicated though, you are not allowed to hit the next pole (as demonstrated in the video), and also there are different types of orbs, blue orbs, that move, but slowly, black orbs, that you are not allowed to cut directly, since the orbs have shields, if you cut the shields, you press the 'FIRE' button, and you cut again, which one-shots the orb. There are also rainbow orbs, which move EXTREMELY fast. The red ones are basic, they just stay there.. There are purple orbs, that are basically an upgraded version of the blue orbs. Finally there is the 'Dark Hero' which is, apparently a corrupted version of your hero. He's fairly simple, similar to the black orbs, however you have to hit his shield when it is white, because he blocks your attack otherwise. You also get one continue per life (unless you decide to buy more, for 0.98$).

Next, the STORY!

As far as I know, there is no story to this game. The only story element here is the so called Dark Hero, however he appears more than once, so it's just a regular enemy. Either way, there is little to no story in this game, which is fine, it makes up for it with it's gameplay!

Next we move to.. GRAPHICS!

The graphics are pretty simple. The hero is a stickman with a red scarf, the background is pretty dang cool. The effects are nice, and I think it's very fitting for a game like this. It's nothing to write home about, but it does the gameplay some justice!

Now, SOUND!

The sounds, while some are royalty free, most of them are custom, which I like, and they are also pretty dang neat. Again, nothing to write home about, but for a small, awesome game like this, they are pretty good.

Finally, MUSIC!

Same opinion with the music as with the sound. It's soothing, it's not repetitive, and it's actually good.

Ending opinion:

For a game that will probably be played when you are not playing Flappy Bird, this is an awesome game. It's challenging, but not infuriating. (You will not rage nearly as much as you'd if you were playing Flappy Bird.)
Final Verdict? 4.5/5. It's a mobile game, so I'm not expecting too much from it, however it's managed to please me. A must have. Thank you for reading, I'll see you in the next review. Bai!
