"Mister Smile": absolutely everything - children!

"God, what a meal to raise!" Quote of the m / f. "The Return of Carlson" version of the game, "Mr. Smiley" for Pocket PC and Palm OS While the adults uncle with a straight face indulged male pastimes, spending time in the "pocket" casino and pool, saving the galaxy from the countless invasions of aliens varied shape, developing a breakneck speed in the automobile and motorcycle racing, blowing out to sea merchant ships, searching for the captive princesses, fighting dragons, and even controlling the whole states or until mom enthusiastically pushing the buttons, were engaged in maintenance of electronic animals, gambling trips and indulge Managing whole game shops, kids running around left completely unattended. All their attempts to attract the attention of diverse and childish tricks and smart pull at the hem did not lead to the desired result. Uncles and aunts dismissed, muttered under his breath something like, "Right now throw all his affairs, and you'll puff balls" and continued to poke furiously at the screen of their PDA. And then, there were still good people. Absolutist Game Studio introduced "Mr. Smiley» (Smiling Bubbles), which is posted on its website under "For the children» (Kids). Doubly pleased that the children made no shooter, not masher, not brodilka and letalka-unichtozhalka and fun puzzle: starting colored balls into the crowd of colorful smiley face, looming at you, you should try to get into the group of the same color as the ball runs . add the number of single-color beads or the same faces up to three or more in order to remove them from the playing field and free up space. The more clustered faces burst, the closer you are to victory. Goal of the game - to remove all the faces from the playing field. If approaching jovial and melancholic, sometimes just a ball will reach the lower boundary of the field, their joy would be no limit - you lose. In fact, adults and interesting, but the main thing in this case - the kids will be informative.

Plot [4 / 5]

Game studios have always been novelty. In one of our previous reviews, we wrote about one of these original games - «Bubble Shooter» (the game was rated as the best games of the month with a rating of "Editor's Choice HPC.ru»). "Mister Smile" is just a refinement of this game: it is made on the same engine with modified graphics and with the addition of a number of bonuses. Typically, when the fact of reviews using the same engine with minor modifications, we perceived negatively, but this time the case is different. Here we are dealing with the processing of the game and make it a child without a claim to novelty. Meanwhile, the schedule is really suitable for children - many faces, "good and different, with different characters and, accordingly, the different behavior. It is a pity, though, that they do not communicate with each other and do not express their emotions more violently as it was described in the README text on the site.

Gameplay [4 / 5]

Play for fun. Through the menu "Select a game, you can customize the way you like mode:" Strategy "or" Arcade ". In the "Strategy" new faces appear on the field after a certain number of moves without result."Arcade" is more difficult for those who are older: it has new faces relentlessly appear at regular intervals. Removing all faces from the board, move to a new, more sophisticated level, with bubbles of new colors and a smaller number of moves without result, after which faces will go on the offensive. If during the game you will be able to remove all bubbles from the board of one color, you are given a bonus - a ball with unusual "abilities." Among these: "Superman", which sweeps away everything in its path, but black still bombochek, "brush", which stains the area surrounding one-color balls in the color of the bonus ball, "traitors bombers, blow up all the bubbles of the same color, and many others. Bonuses can sometimes occur spontaneously during a game. Thus, among the faces and balls can get special bubbles with numbers, destroying them will increase the score of two (x2 bubbles) or even four times (x4 bubbles). Despite the interesting variety of bonuses, their large number of difficult to remember, and, taking into account the lack of graphic prompts (see Interface), children in particular will be difficult to use all the bonuses for other purposes. In short, too many rules for children. Scored more points, you can declare itself on the entire internet, download them to your server: receiving the code, you enter it on the site Absolutist.ru - and - voila! Here they are you! First place, I hope? Convenient and safe system.

Interface [3.75 / 5]

The game itself is arranged conveniently enough, you can navigate quickly. Nevertheless, under podksazok on the screen, unfortunately, is less than desirable. Thus, a very long time have to wonder what kind of a surprise contains one or the other bonus ball. And in the help file, although a detailed and clear, unfortunately, no graphics, which is important for children. As for the control of the game, then all is fine. Children love to push buttons. Although there is a conscious, who enjoy poking at the screen stick on the example of adults. Absolutist has provided two options: you can control the game through dzhoypada, but if you want - the stylus. Depending on the method varies slightly as the interface and the playing field: If you choose dzhoypada will help you line path, no need to guess where you will - it will be shown on the display.

Graphics [4.75 / 5]

Faces are really funny. Disgruntled, funny, phlegmatic and cheerful. That's what you want kids. Honestly, not only to them. So great to see such a variety of characters and their vitality. Very entertaining, but does not detract from the game.

Sound [3.75 / 5]

Sounds in the game a lot. Claps, bells, noises. They attend many such events in the game, such as: the transition to a new level, adding new faces on the field, remove from the field grouped balls and more. It is a pity that not all events are accompanied by the right sound. Vymahav far beyond childhood, I am still waiting for a blast bombs with a fuse. But no. She modestly, in English, totally silently (Aki neutrinos) that must be destroyed and evaporated. But where "the promised boom"?

Summary

Absolutist studio once again to be bold and innovative."Mr. Smiley" - a rare case of games, the exposed children. Children's games probably one of the most complex areas of developing entertainment and no one is immune from mistakes, especially from those that we have not mentioned. Anyway, we believe that the presence of such games - the great advantage of the studio. They managed to make the desired game: a fun, diverse, and students. Honor and praise!
