Mission XL


While playing this game I was always in alert!

Sopcast3 is brilliantly using the magnets, repellers, disruptors and cannons to transmit a fast rhythm. Also, he is offering us a background music to play the game!

The beginning is cool, you must decide if you need the small allies or no, most probably they are victims of the cannons.

Even if it may seem that action is the main element of this game, there are fast decisions you have to take, each step forward brings up a new problem that needs a fast solution!


Another quality of this game is that it seems easier than it is! The playability of the game is given by the speed of Mission XL.


Map & Maze

The map is excellent, it has artistic details and also allows a good positioning for mobile and motionless enemies. There aren't many choices in this game, you must go forward and use your allies in the most efficient way.


The puzzles

The puzzles are quite good, the traps over this narrow path you must walk on are so creative and each corner brings up new groups of enemies! The nitro blocks are used very well in combination with magnets, repellers and other "awful" objects :)


SPOILER

The end of the game - you have to defeat the blue boss spider to unlock the blue door and gather the crystal! You didn't expect I would reveal more :)


Maybe... just maybe you shouldn't rush, because magnets really eat a lot of your health points!


Fortunately, this game doesn't have lag and it is funny and extremely playable!
