Skyward

indie or independent video games also seem to have a place on mobile devices. The award-winning Monument Valley has already demonstrated this thanks to its intriguing story and, above all, its exquisite visual finish and mechanics of logic Repeating some of its concepts now comes Skyward, somewhat reminiscent of the commented title, but raising different and quite addictive mechanics

This is a game of skill and logic where the player must have good reflexes and a quite developed spatial and geometric capacity. And it is that it is necessary to guide a couple of points through all class of labyrinthine levels in which the perspectives are the key. The real laws of physics matter little, since these steps advance in any direction, as long as the user knows how to guide them along the way without falling into the void.

This is a game that also drinks from the endless runner in concept. And it is that its mechanics is not distributed through certain levels, but rather the levels are dynamic mazes created at random and without end. With this, the player only has to take steps to continue the path and get as far as possible. Something that has its difficulties.And it is that not everything is a relaxed ride in Skyward

On the player's path, every step counts. Proof of this is that, after leaving behind a space, it disappears from the mapping forever, forcing the next step to always be forward. Something that gets complicated when the geometry of the stage begins to vary, changing perspective and including mobile sections And not only that. Some steps also add powers or characteristics to the gait of these two points, either increasing their speed, decreasing it, changing the direction of the step or always forcing to go in the same direction. All this controlling the movement with a single touch of the screen.

A more complicated mechanic than it seems, since the steps rotate around each other to go in all possible directionsOf course, the player cannot think too much about the next step because, after two turns of a circle around the other, the game ends. But there is no rush either good advisors, making the player rush where there is no path in most cases.

A complicated game but, precisely because of this, it becomes addictive for players who want to prove their worth by getting the highest number of possible steps to later compare it in the world ranking or share it on Facebook

But what stands out about this title is its visual finish A game that shows all kinds of three-dimensional scenarios and where these steps can climb at all times. With a illumination that helps to highlight all these perspectives and offer precious and most curious scenarios.

The game Skyward is completely free, with no purchases offered integrated. Of course, every several games an annoying ad appears on the screen. The title is developed for Android and iOS, and can be downloaded viaGoogle Play and App Store
