That’s a lot of fun hours considering the difficulty of more advanced worlds. The game spans 15 different world and each of them has 10 different levels thus 150 of playable scenarios. The design is beautiful, not only because of the voxel use but also because of the contrast between the 16-pixels graphics used for most elements and the deadly water. So the gameplay is basically go safe from point A to point B while avoiding all obstacles in between.ĭesign-wise the game offers a perspective view (almost a side view) with a 3D feeling and obviously lots of voxels. If you don’t calculate correctly you’re dead and must start over. There’s a level where you must pass under deadly hammers and you must do your estimations ahead of time what’s the exact split second when to start running. The complicated part in Cliffy Jump is calculating when to help the character do that particular action. Those of a certain age will recognize immediately the gameplay of Frogger, a popular Arcade from the 80s, but that’s not important. In it you play a chicken (initially) that must cross the road without getting killed. More recent the mobile gaming industry noticed an explosion of games that use voxel based designs, and Crossy Roads is one such example. So the cubical version is widely used and popular in the gaming industry. While it’s not mandatory to have them of rectangular shape, it would have been preposterous to have a Minecraft based on spheres. Basically those cubes you see in the design of the games are the 3D equivalent of pixels (roughly said) and are called voxels. The design technique used in games such as Minecraft is based on Voxels. Why? Well, Minecraft is basically a virtual Lego system where you can build anything. Our love for Legos is the reason why games such as Minecraft became so huge. Partly due to the fact that it doesn’t require much skill to fit them, partly due to the fact that you can create anything. I’m not alone in this, billions (yes billions) others love those multi-colored blocks. I wasn’t very passionate about Lego in my childhood but that changed overtime to the point that now, as a parent, I can stop lying that I’m buying them for my kid and just admit I’m addicted to those blocks.
