One More Line, much more fun

A classic in my opinion. As far as I remember, the first game I ever played on a Windows Phone, aside from Asphalt 8 which I got to know, during my die-hard Android fanboism period. I still, after those years, play it. It’s the only game ever, that I didn’t stop playing in favor of another game. Why is that? Well, most games tend to get boring after some gameplay, but this one managed to keep me entertained.

Usually the only reason I play games like this, and the former reviewed Circular Force, is because I compete with my friends. This one however, isn’t the case, as almost none of my friends play it. I still enjoy the game, and try to beat my own highscore. The game is beautiful with it’s minimal graphics, and because of it’s two dimensional nature, it runs buttery smooth even on the oldest devices.

The principle is simple. Tap and hold to swing, release to lose. This game is also one of the frustrating types, but with the difference that this one is easier. That is why I like it so much. It almost feels like I’m Leveling up when I find out new tricks on progressing through the game. For example, that I don’t really have to do a full circle around a dot, but half is enough. That really sped up the game for me. As this one is easier, you don’t get that frustrated while losing, that makes you like the game, instead of hating it at the end. *Cough, Cough… Flappy Bird, Cough Cough…**

As far as support goes, It supports all Windows Phone versions up to 8.1, and Windows 10 Mobile. Unfortunately, this app is a silverlight one, so It’s not universal, therefore cannot be played on a computer which I wold like to, during class. (Don’t judge. My Spanish teacher is really boring).

Update: It’s universal and works on PC.



To sum this up, It wont hurt to try the game, as It’s free, and I have yet to see somebody that disliked this game. Unfortunately, this game is missing some features compared to the versions of our world dominating Mobile OSes, Android and iOS, but that hasn’t hindered me from enjoying this amazing game!

Head over to the Microsoft Store and give it a shot!
