Android Game Review: Stones

Catch stones by sliding your finger and avoid the meteors in Stones, a game for Android by Imago.

We've tried Stones, an addictive arcade game for Android.

As a good arcade game the idea simple and the game is fast. The game has simple mechanics and things get difficult (and crazy!) as you advance through the levels.

The gameplay is intuitive: you slide your finger to the right and to the left to rotate the stone circle in the center, and move the gap to let stones come in.

The small bar at the top of the screen fills in as you collect stones, so you can have an idea of how many you still need to complete the level. But hurry, because time runs fast!

As you advance, the games gets really hectic with new kinds of stones and some features, like the inversion of your movement (you slide the finger to one side and the gap moves to the other side!).

Beware with those meteors! If you let them pass through the gap they'll blow your stones out of the circle!

Some suggestions for improvement could be to make the first two levels easier, so you could reward early first-time players, and also the movement of the gap could be based on where you point your finger rather than in sliding right or left.

Indeed, it's great to see indie developers creating such nice pieces!

Enough of talking, let's show our playthrough video of Stones:

Have fun!
