Can we ever get enough of Pong? It seems as if every day
another developer is putting out a Pong –style game. There are good reasons for
this. Number one, we can never get enough of a good thing. Two, if it aint
broke, don’t fix it! Krystis.com has taken a new spin on Pong with their new
iOS game, “Drop Possible”. This takes pong to another level. That level would
be major, major frustration
The Premise
Drop Possible requires strategy and a lot of patience. The
premise is to get the ball to go through the hole, and to make the ball hit the
displayed triangles once! Should the ball touch the anywhere but the hole, or
the triangles a second time, it explodes and you are forced to start from the beginning.
Sound easy? Think again.
There is a level called “Impossible” which can only be
reached if the first 16 levels are completed. Impatient? You have an option to
play that level earlier if you go for the in app purchase.
Design
One of the things we loved about this Pong recreation is the
simplicity and dark theme. The ball and sound are synced to the music which
makes for interesting game play. The
background music of choice is in the EDM genre, which gives it retro appeal making
it more likeable in our opinion.
Verdict
This game moves quickly! Patience is required to master this.
We made it only to level 4 during the review and dealt with the pain of
starting over almost too much. Of course, this makes the game addictive and a
great time killer, more out of frustration than anything else.
It is .99, which is not necessarily bad considering there
are no ads, pop-ups or other annoying things that make free games less
enjoyable. Two things are a given with Drop Possible, enjoyment and
frustration!
