Non Flying Soldiers
SCORE: 82
At Family Friendly Gaming we routinely
receive games before they are provided to the public. Which can be a
very exciting thing. Non Flying Soldiers is one such game we were
provided early thanks to our friends over at Chillingo. Here is the
deal, we had no idea what this game was about. As I turned it on and
watched a World War II style of presentation (done with birds), I
wondered what this game was going to be like.
It has been some time since I played a mechanical puzzle game. That is
in essence what Non Flying Soldiers is. We place objects to guide the
birds over, around, and through the obstacles. The goal of every level
is to collect all the items and get the birds safely to the end of the
level. Non Flying Soldiers starts easy, but gets progressively more
difficult.
The presentation of Non Flying Soldiers has some crude humor. An example
would be a bird hopping on a lit bomb and pecking it. The next thing is
actually predictable - a large explosion. The birds and the levels look
much better than the presentation, mainly because of the invention of
color. Non Flying Soldiers has that older feel to it, but not in terms
of the content. There is some violence as your birds can die, and in the
arcade shooter mini game.
I found myself chuckling at a few parts of Non Flying Soldiers. Mainly
because I am ex-military, and can relate to the concepts in Non Flying
Soldiers. There are multiple ways levels can be solved in Non Flying
Soldiers. It is really up to the player to explore the various options
and find the best one that works for them.
I learned to think about where I was placing objects to help my birds
make it to the end of the levels. I appreciate the hints in Non Flying
Soldiers. If a player is overwhelmed by a level they can use the hints
to give them a hand up. I like the concept of Non Flying Soldiers, and
hope there are updates in the future. This app stands apart as
definitely something different. Are you up for saving some Non Flying
Soldiers?
