Youda Survivor 

 

Youda Survivor is the strangest time management game I have ever played. Players take on the role of a shirtless gentleman who washes up on an island. The islanders have a legend about someone being their savior. And no they do not seem to have a copy of the Holy Bible, or have heard about Jesus Christ. What the player does in this game is what is odd.

You are on the beach, and birds come to get water. So you dig holes in the sand. They drink the water, and lay eggs. You collect the eggs. Later on you get machines to make different kinds of eggs. Water also becomes a problem for the player. Crabs, pirates, and more try and get in the way of making the achievements. Speaking of which some of those achievements come a little too easily in my opinion.

The colors, and level of details are really good in Youda Survivor. The characters are dressed for a tropical island. Which means they are not wearing a lot of clothing. Thankfully their models are small on the main game play screen. The birds (which look like sea gulls to me) and crabs can get into fights which is shown in a cloud of dirt.

The music, and voices in Youda Survivor is magnificent. I love listening to the music in this iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad game. The composer to Youda Survivor is amazingly talented. The special effect sounds fit the theme of this game admirably as well. I did find a few oddities in Youda Survivor though. There is a rain ritual which is used to make it rain.

I am reviewing Youda Survivor before it is released to the public. It is my hope that this game sells for $1.99 or less. The eight levels would be a fantastic deal at that price point in my opinion. There are multiple upgrades in this game that make playing levels easier. It can take a few weeks to complete this hand held title.

I learned to provide water for myself and birds in Youda Survivor. I also learned to get rid of pirates and crabs. Youda Survivor is a fun game that will require players to keep their attention on everything at once. Multi-tasking is the biggest skill family members can learn from this hand held video game. The time management genre is tweaked a little bit thanks to Youda Survivor.
