Dreamstones

花里胡哨

Уникальная игра в своём жанре, но первые уровни настолько же легкие, насколько последние уровни сложные. Играешь последнюю планету и какое-то чувство удалить игру и больше никогда не заходить, хочется просто лечь спать и больше никогда не вспоминать это

Nope. Dont buy it. You'll be disappointed and frustrated. Initially I thought this will be a cool break from more serious titles. Although I didn't like the graphics and the story was so boring I stopped reading the dialog windows - I liked the idea of progreesing thorugh leveling up your paddle and collecting items and new skills. And even though leveling up doesn't really change anything (you get slightly "stronger" and you earn a bit more coins) i was going to play it. Just to relax and get that feeling of accomplishing something while playing casual game. But when your game is based on bouncing the ball, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST CODE THE BOUNCING CORRECTLY! Not only the paddle is bugged (especially with rapid movement) and often when you should hit the ball, it gets under the paddle or is suddenly pushed perfectly horizontally which is unrecoverable, but also the bouncing is random! What, are we back in eighties? Who thought it's a great idea to add some randomness to the angle of the bounce? Breakout games should be about precision and accuracy, which is impossible when ball goes in unpredictable way. And yes, the paddle should bounce the ball in different angles, but NOT RANDOMLY! In the past, on 8-bit computers the randomness was required to prevent the situations when ball got stuck in the infinite bouncing loop between the paddle and the wall. Today you should have control over the ball's movement by hitting it with the different parts of the paddle, and the angle should depend on that position (ball should go straight up when hitting the middle of the paddle and go almost horizontall when hitting the edge) without any randomness added to that! This spoils any fun, as you're just moving the paddle with hope that this time the ball will go where you want it. It was very frustrating. Go buy Shatter, it's way way better!

an Arkanoid clone with RPG elements, while at first its enjoyable... then you start noticing the collision and physics bugs, the ball just going straight through the paddle, being sent downward instead of back up, or otherwise the wrong direction. The split ability seems to almost always shoot a ball towards the bottom of the screen regardless of the balls original direction... making it a low value skill with a long cooldown. would love to play more... but... these bugs are just killing me

Dreamstones i got for free from a random giveaway, thought it'd be terrible but honestly not too bad. Game is akin to those of arkanoid and breakout, however you destroy various environment elements with the objective being to destroy all of the "nightmare stones" to move on and beat each level, the game has 5 worlds and bosses each introducing new enemies and different gimmicks throughout, honestly pretty well fleshed out apart from 2 issues with the gameplay, reason 1: you're required to get a target score on each level, this means you can pretty much not afford to drop the ball more than once in a level which can get infuriating for reason 2: either in the 2nd or 3rd world, there is a section where the ball 99% of the time will get stuck and the speed of the ball accelerates after set amount of boucnes, i timed it from the ball exiting this chamber to the time it took for it to go off screen, and you're looking at 4 frames worth of reaction time which is stupidly insane. However there are powerups you can use to prevent the ball bouncing forever and try to clear the stage quicker, although most are useless and only 1-5 of them are helpful for 100%ing stages. The graphics to me honestly felt pretty clunky, the story and character design felt overly cheesy and overbearing plus the background blends in with the blocks a lot and can get overly cluttered very easily, but still the design of everything else is ok, just the artstyle doesn't match the game imo. Music is very very chill and relaxing, one of its stronger suits, SFX are satisfying to when you hear the ball hit off several things in quick succession its just so soothing on the ears. Overall? Pretty decent game that i'm willing to bet 99.999% of people have never heard of or even seen anything about, its alright for what it is but can get somewhat tedious after a while, plus stupid difficulty and luck parts kinda make the game eh. Oh and its impossible to 100%, found that out the hard way...

Vom Spielprinzip eine weiterentwickelte Variante vom Klassiker Breakout. Ein Level besteht aus mehren Abschnitten und in jedem Abschnitt müssen bestimmte Steine zerstört werden. Die anderen im Level verteilten Steine haben teilweise auch besondere Eigenschaften, müssen zum Beispiel mehrmals getroffen werden oder erhöhen die Geschwindigkeit des Balls. Der RPG-Anteil des Spiel ist das Sammeln von Erfahrung für zerstörte Steine und Monster und das dadurch bedingte Aufsteigen im Level, was den Grundschaden und das Gold-Einkommen erhöht. Das Gold wiederum investiert man in den recht simpel gehaltenen Ausbau der Stadt oder kauft bessere Waffen, die man mit aktiven und passiven Fähigkeiten ausrüsten kann. Alles in allem ein sehr unterhaltsames Spiel für Zwischendurch.

My Video Review can be found here: https://youtu.be/nB80xknyhvY Have I enjoyed Dreamstones and can I recommend it to you with a clear conscience? There are many pluses like many innovative ideas for block breaking game, light RPG elements, active and passive skills, challenging yet not frustrating difficulty, number of various objects to hit on each map, many levels to beat and nice colorful graphics. There are also many downsides - useless and boring town building part, uninteresting story, uninspiring weapons, strange ball behavior sometimes, insufficient ingame power-ups, generic music, the absence of dubbing and creeping stereotype. Pros: - many innovative ideas - RPG elements - active and passive skills - balanced difficulty - variability of game objects - many levels to beat - graphics Cons: - town building part - story - weapons - ball behavior - frequency of power-ups - music - no dubbing - creeping stereotype Is it suitable for family playing? Well, if the useless town building part was removed and authors would better include local multiplayer instead I could recommend it but like this there is really not much to recommend it for. It is a shame that authors put so much effort into many innovative ideas to make the modern block breaker but some of them do not really improve the gameplay but do the exact opposite. Along with creeping stereotype also caused by the fact that the environment do not change much or maybe only after many levels I have to give this original but quickly boring game Thumbs Down and VideoGaming Father’s Index 5+ out of 10 - not recommended.

Bad physics - collisions bugs, random direction at wrong times, unregistered hits, etc Character design is making a Marianas trench level entry into the uncanny valley Passives that increases chances of critical hits do nothing Lots of bugs where the ball escapes the screen from the top side and you lose a life Bad economy - you need to grind gold to be able to upgrade and unlock levels

バンドルでお安く買いました 自機カスタマイズできるブロック崩し おもしろかったですが少し不満もあります 壊せないブロックや、ボールが近づくと出現するブロック、コア破壊で同色全部消えるブロックなどいろいろ出てきます 紫色のブロックを全部壊すとステージクリア モンスターも最初はただ硬くてうろついてるだけですが、弾撃ってきたり、タイミング合わないと倒せないのなんかが出てきます ステージをクリアしてくと宝箱やショップで新しい剣が手に入り、モンスターに与えるダメージが上がります（剣じゃなくてボールぶつけるんですが） 剣にはパッシブとアクティブ2系統の強化アイテムスロットがあって、いい剣はスロットも増えます 強化アイテムも宝箱やショップで入手します パッシブは、自機伸長、ボール拡大、ドロップ率上昇、ドロップ速度低下、1UPなど アクティブは、散弾、ボールの方向変える、キャノン砲、空爆、1UPなど このカスタマイズがけっこう楽しいです ここからは気になったこと アクティブアイテム使用後はクールダウンがあります スロットが複数あってもタイムカウンターは1つ つまり1回アクティブを使うと、カウントダウン終わるまで他のアクティブも使えません クールダウンは短めのもので20秒、破壊力あるものだと120秒とかです まあカウント10秒進めるドロップアイテムも出るし、10パーセント短縮するパッシブあるし、あとはガンバレと・・・ たとえば自機レベルアップ（基本モンスターを倒す経験値で上がります）で数パーセント短縮されるとか、パッシブアイテムの3分の1くらい占めてるコイン関連を、もっとほかのスキルにするとか、もう少し難易度ゆるくしてほしかったです あと、たまにボールおかしな反射するのもちょっと嫌でしたが、だんだん慣れました （上述のコア同色消えブロックが多いステージでフレーム落ちひどいは俺環のような、フォーラム見るとそうでもないような・・・）
