Micronytes

A patient with a strange disease needs your help. You control the microscopic Micronytes on their hunt for the evil green blobs through 80 levels and 4 different worlds. Theres an achievement system thanks to which you can win trophies that will modify the end of the story. We found it to be a bit simple; there could be more stuff to collect or extra features to avoid having the feeling that you’re just running and jumping.

The Micronytes have three possible moves: right (tap right), left (tap left) and jump (shake the device). Even though it’s a bit weird at first, it’s this unique control system that makes the difference. If you can’t quite get the hang of it you also have the classic joypad on the touchscreen. The game requires a multitouch screen (Android 2.x).

The HD comic-based graphics and the relaxing music increase the overall quality of the game. The sound track is a journey through different styles like jazz, orchestral and emotion- filled grand piano tracks.

Its main flaw is probably that it can’t be moved to the SD card. Not good news for a 30 mb game...

This is a trial version, so you wont be able to play the 80 levels and get all the trophies. The paid version is also available in the market for just 2€, but I have to say, its well worth it.

Micronytes has been developed by Gibs & Gore. Its the only game that this emerging developer has launched on the market so far and it seems to be doing remarkably well.

If you like platform games then you’re sure to like this one. It respects the essence of a classic platform-game but introduces an original gameplot and a new concept of controls that takes full advantage of our devices. Give it a try- you wont regret it!
