What if you took Magic: the Gathering and combined it with Dungeons and Dragons. That would just be like so full of cool you’d be frozen when you played it. Well SpellBlazer by Seismic Studios is not like that, luckily for all cold-blooded animals. Okay so there is elements of an RPG, and then a card game in between. If you are particularly astute you will find that Seismic actually developed Wagons HO! which I did the programming on. So SpellBlazer was designed by the same guy. Of course I had nothing to do with SpellBlazer as I was contract programmer for Wagons Ho. Actually it’s been a fair bit since I played it so even though I know there are card based battles, I don’t really remember much about it. Well let’s see what we got here.

"It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I’ve outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I’m talking about the big Corellian ships now. She’s fast enough for you old man. What’s the cargo?"
Okay okay, so that was the Millennium Falcon. But now we have the Space Falcon. Space Falcon Commander that is. Just what IS Space Falcon Commander, you ask? It’s a game. “I know it’s a game, you imbecile!” I hear you shout in your minds! It’s a game for the iPhone. Ahhh… Wait a second, Uhfgood, you don’t do iPhone games, do you? You’re quite right, I don’t have an iPhone, or an iPod Touch, which by the way if anyone could oblige me with one, I’ll be happy to review iPhone games, er that is, if you can actually play a demo on those things. Maybe they’re so low priced, they don’t do demos? However since this is Flash Friday, I had the opportunity to play a flash version of it.
Star Crash – Sorry, no Caroline Munro – Flash

My next Flash Friday entry is called Star Crash by Glowing Eye Games. We’re not talking about some cheesy 70’s B-grade star wars rip-off either. We’re talking about a flash game. I really don’t know what this game has to do with stars other than the space backdrops, or maybe the flying, blue, glowy, thingy. But it’s a simple game where you collect the blue glowy “stars” and orange glowing spirals. You must simply avoid the red glowy thingies, or else it’s game over. It’s simply a survival and get points game. Nothing spectacular. Also your mouse cursor is an eye, a glowing eye. I mean how weird is that? It’s not that bad to play though. It does start to get frantic. This is a good example of a beginners game. If you want to get your feet wet making a game, do the simplest thing possible. |
