AppAdvice: Little Luca ($0.99) by Glowingpine Studios HB is an innovative new physics-based puzzler that will keep you entertained for hours.
If there’s anything I love more than my iPhone itself, it’s definitely the puzzle games that I can get for it. There are certain types of games that I can only play for so long, but puzzle games are a whole different story. I can literally lose myself in their simple and addictive gameplay for hours on end. And that’s just the case with Little Luca.
Touch Arcade: Now I'm not usually one to pick up a puzzle game, partly because there are so many of them crowding the App Store that are simply below average, but mostly because my brain is as good at solving problems as a goat is at knitting a car. But when I saw the pixel art screen shots, I had to download Little Luca [$0.99], as being a '70s baby I am a sucker for anything 8-bit. Luckily, the cutesy low-fi images aren't the only good thing about this game... far from it.
The game is hard to explain. It’s a pretty difficult physical puzzle, with morphing world and a minimalistic design, where you need to throw the ball around the levels, trying to collect three stars in each one, and get to the exit. Oh, well, it wasn’t that hard, actually.
A fun little concept somewhat held back by the short, restrictive levels of the three-star format.
