![]() The odd one out, when it comes to mobile gaming, had to have been John Woo’s Bloodstroke. It’s also a colorful and good-looking game, and Chillingo definitely has a winning product when it comes in the very near future. We got to play with Feed Me Oil 2 and the experience was both fun and intuitive, and allows for plenty of ways to creatively solve the puzzles offered. This fits the mobile platform well, which demands gameplay that is easy to pick up and master. If you’ve played The Incredible Machine before (that series is over 20 years old now!), Feed Me Oil is a somewhat simplified version of that concept. These elements include fans, platforms and much more – all of which you can use in a variety of ways to solve 60 physics-based conundrums. Building on the foundations of games like The Incredible Machine, Chillingo’s original Feed Me Oil game required you to guide a stream of oil to a target area using a select number of building elements. While Peggle is very much a cross-platform game (with editions for PC and DS owners as well as mobile versions), Feed Me Oil 2 is firmly rooted as a mobile/tablet game. It’s a novel take on a familiar concept, and it will be interesting to see what other twists PopCap has in store for us when Peggle 2 comes out as an Xbox One launch title. During this demonstration, activating a special power with Luna meant ‘ghosting’ some of the pegs for the duration of your ghost, allowing you to reach harder to reach spots on the playing field. The changes this time around are more subtle, and can be seen when looking at the different special powers you can use. ![]() ![]() PopCap has chosen to not change a winning formula, which is a good move because Peggle is about as addictive a game as they come. The core gameplay is still there and “Ode to Joy” still plays upon completing a level. At first sight, despite the original game being over 5 year old, not a lot seems to have changed aside from a fresh layer of paint. Balls will bounce, hit multiple pegs in a single shot, get supercharged – all with the goal of clearing the field with a limited amount of shots.Īt Gamescom, Peggle producer PopCap demonstrated Peggle 2, an upcoming Xbox One (timed?) exclusive. In Peggle, you aim a series of balls at a playing field where your goal is to hit (and thus take out) as many colored pegs as you can with each shot. One of the pioneers of the casual gaming genre, Peggle had a similar gameplay style to Angry Birds in that you ‘aim to win’. What we found is that the casual gaming marketplace is a breeding ground for original gaming concepts, but has plenty of games that shows that its roots lie in more traditional experiences.īefore Angry Birds, there was Peggle. ![]() With nearly all major publishers investing heavily in this growing platform, we decided to take a look at some of the titles that could be gracing an iPad or Android tablet near you in the next few months.
