Strange Attractors Mobile

Way back in 2013 I reviewed the desktop version for the dudes over at Ominous Dev (one of which I share a profound bromance with going back to mopeds and cheap whiskey on the mean streets of Ann Arbor). I said something to the effect of its a “new classic”. What does that mean? It means the gameplay and visuals reminded me of my early 90s gaming days. The top down view and the overall “feel”. When Ominous approached me to test flight a new mobile version I said “son of a b****, I’m in.” This game is even more addicting on mobile. I’ll tell you right now it’s frustrating as heck at times. Not because of bugs or anything being unclear, but because it takes serious precision. Stick with it you short attention span millennial! It’s rewarding when you finally get that little floaty thing into the goal. Timing is everything. So, download and play this now. Right now. Doing it yet? I’ll wait.

seems simple on the surface, two buttons. how hard could it be? turns out there is a surprising amount of depth both of gameplay and design, if you are patient. sometimes less input is more control. i keep coming back to it.
