Game Review
Stardrops is one of those games that are totally enjoyable to play. It is short flash game and I had fun during my break time. It is a quirky radial gravity game with fast paced, physics based action and a compelling upgrade system. Stardrops puts the player in the shoes of a boy looking to redeem himself for ripping his sister’s teddy bear. At a 20% discount, it cost 1,250 gems. Follow him into the night sky and collect as many gems as possible in the shortest amount of time when a needle and thread could have saved him days of trying to catch stars.
I would definitely say it is not exactly skill based but has all the elements of a good game: nice visuals, great audio, responsive controls, quasi-unique play style. The developers have done a good job in the upgrade system. It was something to help elongate the game, but not to the point where it was simply an upgrade grindfest. The story is also cute, giving the game its unique flavor till it made me puke rainbows! :)
While the game certainly isn't a generational barrier breaker, it sets out to be its best within its field and does it quite outstanding. Great attention to detail, particularly in the transition from game-screen to upgrade-screen. I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. I loved it!
