A mobile go-kart game to play today? Starlit On Wheels is out!

January 31, 2019 - Looking forward for a go-kart-style racing experience on your smartphone? You can play it today! Starlit On Wheels is finally available for free for Android and iOS!

Starlit On Wheels is a racing title from the popular Starlit franchise, that has been downloaded by over 10 Million players. The free-to-play title is developed by Brazilian Studio Rockhead, and combines all the fun of the best kart games with colorful characters, insane tracks and even a powerful editor for the community to create their own courses.

Starlit On Wheels is the third installment of the Starlit series, after Starlit Adventures (mobile, PlayStation 4) and Starlit Archery (mobile).

All the series’ main characters - Bo, Kikki, Pikke and the villain Nuru - return in Starlit On Wheels, this time facing each other in crazy tracks full of obstacles, turns and loops. All of the 9 characters and 11 vehicles are fully customizable, with different handling, speed, acceleration; bringing an added layer of strategy to the game. Will you choose speed to get ahead on the straight line, or more control to get an edge on each corner? You decide.

Starlit On Wheels already features on launch 128 tracks carefully developed by the Rockhead team, but that is only the beginning. The game features a full-fledged and fun to use editor that lets players create their their own dream circuits and share them with the community. The best tracks of the week are selected for the competitive ingame Cup.

The series tells the story of the Starlits, peaceful creatures that hail from Starlit Island, a floating island in the night sky. All is well in the land until the coming of the evil Nuru, that sucks all the stars into his purse. Without them, the Starlits become sleepy and dispirited, and it’s up to Bo and Kikki to use the last remaining star to travel to the Low Lands, confront Nuru and save the day. It is just the beginning of an epic journey that will take them to different worlds, to face strange creatures and live many adventures.

Starlit was created by Rockhead, a Brazilian studio based in Porto Alegre, Brazil, with vast experience working with some of the biggest game publishers and the world. Starlit is also one of the few Brazilian franchises that explores multiple media formats: beyond the games, the franchise can also be found in comics and an animation (currently in development).

“We have been enjoying ourselves developing and testing Starlit On Wheels for many years, so we are very excited to see the players join the fun with the launch,” says Rodrigo “Chips” Scharnberg, Rockhead producer. “All the team at Rockhead worked really hard to create something truly exciting, and we are proud to be already getting some incredible feedback from both new players and fans of the Starlit series.”

Those Who Remain - Darkness Trailer | PS4

There are strange creatures roaming in the dark, killing everyone that gets close. The only way to survive is by staying in the light.

The danger in the dark is not the only thing at play in Dormont.

There are strange portals that emanate a bright light, that seem to bring anyone that goes through them to another place, similar yet different, apparently unreal but very real.

REVIEW: - Incubo on Steam

Review by Jon Donnis
Incubo is a side scrolling platform game from Hehe Gamez and has a somewhat horror theme with many famous horror ghost characters making an appearance.

At it's base this is a classic side scrolling platform game. Each screen will have a puzzle to solve before you can move to the next screen.

Puzzles vary from moving objects around to reach different parts of the level, to using knowledge learnt from one part of the level to get past an obstacle. An obstacle might be a gap too large to jump, or it might be a ghost that if it touches you will kill you.

You play as a little boy who is stuck in a dream, he needs to find out the truth in the dream so he can escape.

So lets take a look at what is good and what is bad.

The Good
Hand drawn animation means this game looks beautiful. Really impressive.
The music/sound effects really do add to the experience, and as the game suggests, it is really best if you play while wearing headphones.
The levels have interesting challenges which can feel very satisfying once you figure out how to get past it, and then when you finally do.

The Bad
The game has a steep learning curve, and sometimes you can find yourself getting frustrated not so much because it is too difficult but because the controls can be a bit fiddly at times, meaning you need to sometimes make pixel perfect jumps in quick succession to complete an objective.

The controls could be improved, there is hardly any margin for error, and sometimes doing quick moves means that a jump you need to do simply does not happen. I hope these issues are fixed in future updates.

There are a few graphical glitches, and you can sometimes find yourself trapped with no way to continue other than to reset the levl.

Summary
A fun game that with the right updates could be a great game.

As the game is now I give it a 7/10

REVIEW: iHUGu - Nintendo Switch

From Kool2Play studios comes iHUGu (I hug you) is a new Indy game on Nintendo Switch.

At it's base this is a simple memory game. You start off by choosing your character. Which you can also customize. You are then faced by a queue of people you have to hug, however if you hug the same person twice you lose. It really is that simple.

If you are a fan of memory games then this is good fun. And there really is quite the challenge once you have hugged more than 10 people and you start to question yourself. There is a time limit for each hug, and there are also other power ups you can collect.

It even has multiplayer, whereby you are both on screen together, and that does bring in more of a challenge.

And a quick mention has to be given to the soundtrack. You will find yourself humming the songs hours after you have put down the game.

iHUGu is simple, fun and a bit silly. And I like it, and will happily give it a 7/10

Find it on the Nintendo Store at £3.59
