Daddy Long Legs
The stupidly difficult games have a seam that is difficult to explain. And it seems that, even if it's just for a while, they entertain almost any type of player. It already happened on computers with games for web browsers a few years ago, and it has also happened on mobile platforms with titles like Flappy Bird To try to take advantage of that fame, now comes Daddy Long Legs A fun approach that repeats some very difficult game mechanics that are being viewed recently.
In Daddy Long Legs the player takes control of a long-legged spider Or at least one character who claims to be. However, it is not a bug with eight legs and as many eyes, but rather has a quite recognizable human profile. Of course, having a quadrangular head and only two long legs that support it makes its journey more complicated. And this is where the user comes into play, being who must control the trajectory of this curious being step by step
This is a title of skill with the sole purpose of advancing as far as the user is capable. In fact, there are no more elements in the game than the character and a hint that measures the distance achieved while walking.However, despite the simplicity of the approach, the technique to be developed in order to barely take two steps is more than complicated. And it is that the normal thing is to crash the head of this poor animal against the ground an infinity of times before managing to advance only a few meters.
To do this, the player only has to control the movement of the legs with touches on the screen A touch starts one of the legs , launching it forward automatically. At the right time (whoever writes these lines has not yet managed to figure out how or when to do it correctly) just tap the screen again to make the other leg start to move. All this trying to calculate the inclination of the rest of the body and avoiding giving a stumble Which, on the other hand, is the most repeated and practical way of learning to do it well .
There are no no other game modes or other possibilitiesSo just move this spider every try a little further. Something so complex that only the most competitive players will want to try to overcome. What does exist is a whole collection of achievements that are unlocked by performing different tasks, be it falling backwards, falling more than 20 times, or exceeding certain distances. Something that helps keep playing over and over again. All this allows you to add points and share and compare the total result with users from other parts of the world.
In short, a simple game in terms of approach and structure, but one of the most complex to master. About him we must highlight how funny and how frustrating he is. Also the physics that govern it and that are a very important part of achieving the user experience that it proposes are remarkable, allowing the simulation of real movement and knowing how the animal will react. But the best part is that it's a totally free gameIt is available for Android devices via Google Play
