Interlocked (5/5 Happy J-Pops)

So, I played this game called Interlocked.
And I really liked it. :D

Interlocked is a puzzle game. NO DON'T LEAVE JUST YET!

Game Instructions:
Use the mouse and the space bar to disassembled one of those farkin' wooden toys. I KNOW! SO AWESOME! Toggle between two modes: The Eye; The Mover. While in the eye mode you can move and swivel the toy to get a better 'feel' of the makings and workings of the puzzle. In the Mover mode, well, you can jiggle the pieces and see what happens.

The reason this game is so amazing is that:
1) It's Simple :
   - The beauty of the art and the music and the gameplay combine together just perfectly to keep my calm and non-violent as I stare at four blocks interlocked with one another.
2) It's a Challenge (That you can overcome)
  - Well, for one there is already a walk-thru out. (Don't use it, n00b.) Also, the best part of the game is negotiating each piece one at a time. The puzzles (so far) have taken maybe a minutes tops to solve and move on. However, I have just started and there a forty levels. :D
3) You can be a Winner too.
  - I remember these games when I was younger. My Grandma Mary had them in one of her guest bedroom closests and I would sit there and use both hands AND both feet to try to release the wooden planks from its bondage...to no avail...BUT I CAN DO THESE! All those years of frustration expunged from this beautiful and fun widdle game. <3 <3 <3

Anyway, give it a try. Tell me what you think.
Kawaii away! (Click here to go to the game.)

So, I....

I've made another blog.


:D


This one is called "So, I Kawaii" because, in my head, I am clever as shiz.


~So, I~
Basically, I start out my review over a game or a movie (or sometimes a song) with "So, I...{read, played, watched, listened, etc}" and then commence with my ramblin's.

~Kawaii~
Kawaii just means 'cute.' I am cute. So, I am cute. :D


I have a ruberic (Grading Scale-ish thing) for the items in question and you can kinda get what I mean by the descriptions. However, you'll get an in-depth analysis in the actual blog-a-dong. The things I tend to look for in a game include:


  1. Style
  2. Music
  3. Replay-ablity
  4. Difficulty
  5. Controls
  6. Storyline
  7. Emotional Response (Basically, how I feel about it.)
  8. Allusion to: Nostalgia; literature; personal memory
  9. Originality
  10. Length


1 J-Pop = Sucky, try it if you want try it I don't care, but bleh sauce all over it. {Bad Everything}
2 J-Pop = I've seen worse; it was probably tolerable for like {pish} twenty minutes. I guess if you're      bored check it out. {More than 5-ish things terrible with it}
3 J-Pop = Worth mentioning, it had some issues but it didn't completely suck. {More than 3-ish things wrong with it}
4 J-Pop = Almost perfect. {Maybe 1 or 2 things buggy about it but totally able to look over it}
5 J-Pop = ZOMG. BEST.GAME.EVER. {Absolutely perfect.}


Ok, that's done. Now to playing games. Suggest games to me if you want. I'd love to play and review them!
