Cute Yet Challenging, This Free Mobile Game Is Frustratingly-Addictive
‘Reach the Sky’ is a simple yet addicting mobile game that tests your timing and accuracy. The goal is to help the little red dude to, well – Reach the Sky! To help our tiny protagonist achieve his mission, he must jump from one platform to another with the help of his handy dandy rope! The players must tap their screens at the right moment as these platforms change in movement speed, size and distance between you and your current starting point.
When we first tried it out, the gameplay reminded us of how we would time and release our skill shots when we play MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Games) games such as League of Legends and Dota 2. It gives you a satisfying feeling when it hits. In this game, that little tiny dude is your hero, your rope is your skill and the moving platform above you is the enemy!
Graphics and Feels
The whole setting is very light and charming, utilizing pixel graphics combined with a few pastel colors. It’s the right way to go since the game could get a little bit frustrating, especially during the first few tries. The calm and charming textures and retro feels masks the difficulty of the game – a perfect balance.
Gameplay
If you’ve played ‘Flappy Bird’, then you’ll probably have an idea on how this game will make you feel. Although it’s not time pressured, it’s more heavily reliant on giving you more room to time your taps well and reading the speed,size and distance of the next platform.
