Questions are good things. They are there to get to know others and to find the common ground with each other, with the people we want to love. Well, I would think that the biggest thing I need to learn is to love myself. I think at least. I like lists, I make lists, mainly about anime and manga that I want to read and watch. And sometimes about American books too. My life does revolve around things that I consume. And I do not know if I am fine with that. I would like to fancy myself that I like philosophy, but in truth, I like the idea of philosophy. In the sense, philosophy means the love of knowledge, because we cannot know everything. So we need to start with things that we do not know, even though there are many famous figures in philosophy, I do not want to read from them. Because the biggest thing that I do not know if myself. And, as I am right now, I am more interested in filling the emptiness in me, if that makes sense. But I like questions. So, I went out and looked for que...

Sand Balls {app game review?} "Good game, too much ads" (。﹏。)

Sand Balls is a game made by SayGames. On their store page, they are marked as a company from the Republic of Belarus.

This is a somewhat boring but relaxing puzzle game. You are drawing a path for the sand balls and get them into the delivery car. You need a certain amount of balls to get the car filled, and then some extra that get you stars. You can restart the game even before you hadn't completed the level. If you complete the level you need to watch an ad to restart the game.

Rating:

The art of it is colorful and nice. The animation if fluent and the physics work well.

There is extra content, a beach that you can set up as a passive income. The graphics here don't look so nice. I don't like this part of the game, it kind of sticks out since I am already collecting balls for something, that is quite unrealistic. There are other things, like the shape of balls and the extra feature that you can test the graphic effects that the VIP people get. And I do admit, seeing watermelons pulling rainbows is something that I like to see.

One of my biggest problem with this app is the ads we see. After every level, you get an advertisement that is 23 seconds, and if you are in a bad situation you get a double ad. The problem comes with the fact that the levels are easy to get through, it often doesn't take more than 20 seconds to get through them, so you end up watching more ads than playing games. I have no problems with putting extra content, like the keys to get extra in-game currency, diamonds, that can be spent on things; that is fair. Those are a thing that let me enjoy more while not buying the game. VIP gets advertised insanely in the game as well and sometimes it gets in the way.

The gameplay is interesting, I think that there is nothing extra to it, but the concept to the puzzles is good and it teaches you quickly and efficiently. I managed to play up to level 60 before gathering my thoughts about it. I usually don't waste my time with app games, but I had fallen down in a rabbit hole, so to speak. And I finally understood why these things are so addictive.


[1.] One more thing, the game drains the battery really seriously. And I know that once I heard that you shouldn't worry when your machines are overheating, but after playing a while, I could feel the heat of my phone through the hard case. That is not a good sign, so be careful when you are playing with it, it is tasking app to run for a long time.

[2.] There were many times when the balls would come lose and go tumbling down and the car is already going. Just thinking about that only one little ball you be enough to get a three-star rating instead of a two-star one, makes my little completionist soul weep. But I decided to let go of seeing what a time waster something like this could be.

Domino Smash [app game review] (*  ̄︿ ̄)~Meh...

Rating:  ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ This game was meant to be relaxing, but it ends up boring me in a sense. There is no problem with the advertisement, I, however, felt other parts of the game implemented in really gimmicky and only being in the game because other games have it as well. Like collecting keys and getting to unlock new skins. There is no such need in this kind of game, or if it is, then it was implemented badly. You make one move per game, starting the ball, there is no other interaction and I am fine with that, that's what I had come for. It is nice to see bonus content, but it doesn't work here, sadly. It was made by Gismart. To be fair, I only had played it up until level 25. I can't recommend this app to others.

"0" Review

Long story short: 5/10 pretty decent and middle of the road. Music videos come in many forms and shapes  and form and animation is one of them. In my opinion, a disappointing animation is worse than a disappointing live-action; even though the focal point of a music video is on the music .  The most important thing is clearly the music, the animation here is a kind of bonus experience. I say this because this music video is hard to find on the internet, so I couldn’t re-watch it. (I decided to include "0" because this was between the first short anime music videos that I had watched when I started to watch anime more regularly. And I couldn't leave it without a word.)  Because, if this I based my writing on memory alone, and the recounting of other people writing about this animation. H owever, understanding the things  that go into making a music video is important . While you can judge the animation on of itself, it is needed to be understood that many things go in...

The Eyes of Sora - Chapter review [1-6]

The Eyes of Sora or Sora's Eyes is a manhwa made by Summer and was published on Lezhin in 2015. In its original language, it already concluded, but it is currently being translated. The premiss of the manhwa is interesting: "When Jeongha, the temperamental young son of a wealthy businessman was suddenly stricken down with a mysterious illness, his father scrambled to look for a cure. But the debilitating affliction persisted. Desperate and out of option, the father sought out help from a temple up on a misty mountain to save the life of his only son." - mangaupdates.com The art style is really interesting, it has this sketchy style that looks almost half-finished but it makes it looks easy and light. It brings a nice atmosphere to the entire piece. It looks something really promising. I will be reviewing it chapter by chapter since it is still being translated to English, but if you understand Korean, then you should check Summer out on Lezhin. Chapter 1: And the first c...
