Before we start ...


Hi, all! Hi, kids!

Sorry for the lack of post in a long while, despite me promising so. I'll try my best and get the next post out in June and then keep going regularly. With that out of the way, let's get straight to the review!


FINAL THOUGHTS 


QuadraPop is a classic Tetris-style mobile game where the player rotates and moves coloured notes falling from above in pairs in order to stack them on top of each other, after which they pop. The game doesn't follow any elaborate plot.



First, the gameplay, while rather simple, is fun and allows the player to relax and enjoy their experience. There are also many versions of the game available, where sea creatures, jewels or robota can be stacked on pairs and then pop. Again, while fans of games with complex stories may be disappointed in QuadraPop, kids and adults looking for simple fun will be delighted.

Another important aspect of the game are graphics, which appear to be a blend of both 2D and 3D (a.k.a. cel-shaded). The game sports a vibrant, aesthetically pleasing look with surprisingly good visual effects (especially for the moment when the matched elements "pop").
The mechanics are relatively easy to oparte, too.

The sound design is also pretty strong here. While there may not be that many tracks here, they do a good job conveying the mood of the game and encouraging the player to keep going. 


In summary, QuadraPop is a great way to relax and enjoy yourself while offering simple fun. But of course, I encourage you to play for yourselves and form your own opinions. 🙂

Before we say 'goodbye'...

So, that's my review of QuadraPop. I hope you enjoyed it. See you all in June. 

Love,
your Diva 🎶

Chris Thorndyke vs Icy! (story)

  Before we start... Hi everybody,  hello kids! I know I haven't done this in a rather long time, but here I am. Another Chris Thorndyke story, requested by one of my friends. I hope he doesn't mind the fact I made some alterations to what he proposed, I just thought Icy was a tad more suitable for the story. Anyway, here we go! Chris Thorndyke vs Icy  It was a seemingly normal day for Chris Thorndyke and his family. The young boy was helping his mum, with the roses while his siblings were frolicing in the graden. Chris wanted to join them and play along, but he knew that duty had to come first. The sun was beating down on the dwellers of the small cottage and the work seemed to go well, when suddenly... - What's that dog doing here?! - screamed Tea in horror, as a large, grey dog jumped in front of her and started to growl. - Tea! - said Chris, concern clear in his voice. For a while, the boy felt petrified at the sight of the canine, but then, he mustered the courage to...

Jungle Beat (TV series) - mini-review

Obraz
  BASIC INFO  Directed by: Brent Dawes Country: South Africa  Year: 2003 Language: English (no dialogue) Runtime: 5 minutes Suitable for ages: 3+  REVIEWER'S SCORE   Animation: 7/10 Writing: 6/10 Characters: 6/10 Sound design: 8/10 OVERALL: 6/10 FINAL NOTES: Although of an acceptable quality for a show aimed at younger kids and 5 times more tolerable than something like  PAW Patrol , Jungle Beat offers very little for older children & parents to enjoy. Which is NOT a bad thing in and of itself. ☺ However, I must stress, there are better shows for toddlers and pre-school aged children, like The Adventures of Chuck & Friends and Gazoon. In conclusion, there's no harm in letting your little ones watching this show, but don't expect to be carried away by it yourself.  BEFORE WE GO... Thanks for reading my thoughts and let me know if you agree or not. :) (Just keep it civil while discussing, 'kay?) My next mini-review will be released on February 7t...
