Apple has appointed “App of the week” is an interesting arcade project Lost in Harmony from the Studio Digixart Entertainment. During the week it will be available to download for free, in ordinary days the game costs 229 rubles.
Lost in Harmony is a runner with an unusual perspective: the main character riding on a skateboard face-to-player. Behind him is a girl. You don’t see what’s ahead, but the game gives you hints in the form of a pop-up at bottom of screen markers — interference can be left, right and center. From a distance the couple can also catch up with various dangers, like cars or hurricane.
Past the sweeping landscapes of incredible beauty, playing music is surprisingly decent classic with a modern twist. Once the player has mastered control enters the rhythm section: the top of the screen light up icons that you need to press to the beat of the soundtrack. Runner for some time turns into a music game — and while you tap on the screen “Flight of the Valkyries”, the hero and his girl still flying towards the unknown.
Surprisingly, in this mobile runner there is even a story: a touching love story of two students. While the guy rides a Board and goes to school, his girlfriend was seriously ill far from home. Apart teenagers only have to correspond on social media and dream about how they would be together again. And the levels in the game — their dreams.
The complexity of the game increases consistently. First make it get used to both the mechanics: until you beat the rhythm, the movement you are not particularly worried, and Vice versa. But after some time, both mechanics blend. In addition, during the passage builds up a special scale of interest — it takes into account the distance traveled, and collected “star dust” (the local resource, which largely depends on your progress), collisions with obstacles and the accuracy of hits in the rhythm sections. If the end of the level, recruited less than 50%, it should be held again.
Lost in Harmony — a surprisingly successful experiment of crossing two seemingly incompatible genres. The project has a lovely rhythm, a decent picture and wonderful music. And though he touches on the theme of severe illness, the games stay the most bright impressions.
