To be honest, when I saw this game, I was stunned for a moment. Not because the picture is amazing, but because it reminds me of the days when I stayed up late playing Bejeweled and Plants vs. Zombies on my Nokia N73 more than ten years ago. At that time, mobile phone screens were pitifully small and the resolution was low, but every time I found a fun game, I was as happy as finding a treasure.
The name "Chongchong Don't Come Over" sounds a bit cute, but it is actually very cute. The painting style is a refreshing cartoon style, the bugs are round and the candies are colorful, which makes people relax just looking at it. I'm not going to brag about it, but in order to attract attention, many mobile games now want to slap all the special effects and gold buttons on their faces. It's really rare to encounter such a simple, clean and casual game.
The gameplay is actually a classic tower defense idea, but with the creativity of block combinations added. You need to use blocks of different colors to build defensive buildings. Each color has different effects. For example, red may explode and blue may slow down. This permutation and combination design reminds me of the tangled feeling of "the best way to put it" when I played "Tetris" before. The levels are not too difficult, but the next few levels do require some thinking, and cannot be passed without thinking. The props are also very rich and will not make people feel monotonous.
I checked and found that the developer is a small team called Taoteng Interactive in Shenzhen. The charging model is 0-that is, it is completely free, without any in-app purchases or advertising pop-ups. You must know that nine out of ten games on the market with the banner of "free" are gold traps. To be honest, I am very touched to encounter such a truly pure work. Although the game platform is marked as 5.0, some older models may be able to run smoothly, but it is recommended that new friends use a slightly newer device to experience the game, as the graphics will be more comfortable.
Some people may think this game is too simple and not exciting enough. But for me, after experiencing the impetuosity and routines of the mobile game market over the years, I cherish this kind of "small but beautiful" works more and more. I don't need liver or krypton, I just want to play a few levels during my lunch break or before going to bed. I feel very reassured when I hear the “puff” sound when the bugs are eliminated, and when I see the candies piled up in the corner without incident.
If you also miss the pure joy of playing "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Defend Carrots", you might as well try this "Chongchong Don't Come Over". It may not wow you, but it will definitely make you smile. 😊
