Artoon Demo (360)
Remember Bounder? Well, this isn’t much like it, but you do control a bouncing ball. I’m sure there’s a better comparison, but I can’t think of it right now. Anyway, you bounce around changing the colour of tiles until the exit opens, then you bounce on over there.
There’s a good multiplier system and, most excellently, every level has a completely different visual style (the middle level on the second tier, after the tutorial has an especially clever hook)… but, but, but I didn’t like the controls as much I felt I should. The ball weighs more than I’m comfortable with, or something. It just didn’t feel quite right to me. Maybe that would come in time, but right now it feels like I’d pay 200 points for it, but not the 400 points being asked. (Though, given the amount of love that’s obviously gone into the game, 400 points is completely fair – it’s just a bit too much for me.
