Traverse
SCORE: 84
Traverse is a puzzle game on the
iPhone/iPod Touch. The controls take a little getting used to, but once
I understood an entire world opened up to me. I learned to tap where I
wanted the ball to go, and then to press a second time for where I
wanted the second destination to be. Finally I had to tap the starter
spot for the ball to start. The starter spot goes to the second
destination once the ball makes it to the first. There are multiple
items to collect in each level.
The background graphics in Traverse are black. The colored orbs that are
are collectible are colors that offset nicely. I did not find any
offensive graphics while playing Traverse. I enjoyed the colors, but
have to admit the tones are on the darker side. Especially after
collecting many of the orbs in a level. I did like the various shapes
the orbs made in numerous levels.
Traverse includes 120 levels. Now many of them can be beaten in a minute
or less, but that is still a lot of levels for ninety-nine cents. We
were provided a reviewable copy of Traverse, so I did not have to
purchase it. I do feel that Traverse is worth the price of admission.
There is a puzzle mode, and a challenge mode in Traverse. If you are
really stuck you can purchase a solution to the levels. The various
power ups spice this game up, although I had to learn via trial and
error what most of them did. The levels are fun and thought provoking.
The physics engine is interesting and I enjoyed experimenting with it.
Magnetic draw is one of the lessons I learned in Traverse. Other levels
showed me how gravity works. I find nothing morally or ethically wrong
with Traverse. It is an app that safe for the entire family. I do
suggest that you read the instructions at least once to comprehend how
to play Traverse. I would like to see sequels to this game in the
future.
