Inkvaders 1.1 iPhone iPod Touch | 13,9 MB
When it comes to style versus substance in games, a healthy balance is best. It’s no good a game looking awesome but playing badly. Conversely a great game can be spoiled by bad presentation. In the case of Inkvaders, the scales are tipped in favour of style. This presents a few issues which prevent the game achieving greatness, at least for now – but it is still a good game in its current form. The design of this side-scrolling alien shoot-em-up is sensational.
The concept of the art style is that someone is in a lecture when the Martians they have doodled come to life on their notebook. To defend the planet a superhero is needed, so Generic Marine (known as G).gets drawn and the battle begins.
This leads to a comic book, sketched sort of style prevalent throughout the game. The cartoony graphics are vivid and vibrant, including our spaceman hero with brightly coloured blasts of his laser gun as he bobs along and the yellow aliens with their electricity-zapping hands. There are some nice embellishments to the presentation, such as the pages of the notepad being pulled back between levels.
