Brothers, I was browsing the forum today and saw a small game called "Battery Charging". I originally thought it was one of those crappy charging simulators, but after playing it twice, I was totally blown away. Do you know? This game is only 5.0MB in size, not even as good as a mobile game, but it is this kind of "small workshop" work that reminds me of the Famicom era.
At that time, when I played "Tank Battle" and "Tetris", how could I have 4K image quality, open world, and dozens of gigabytes of capacity? One cartridge is only 256KB, so you can still play it for an entire afternoon. Nowadays, those big AAA games cost tens of gigabytes. After downloading them for a long time, the results are all krypton gold and card drawings, and the plot is watery. It is not as enjoyable as squatting in front of the TV and rubbing the controller when I was a child.
The game "Battery Charge" is ridiculously simple: you are given a charging target in each level, and you have to press the screen gently like you would a girlfriend, and control it within the prescribed score to pass the level. What do you think is the essential difference between this and "Knocking the Ice" and "MapleStory" on FC? Isn't it just a test of reaction and hand strength? But it is this primitive sense of operation that makes you have to concentrate and not dare to lose focus for fear of overdoing it😤
Now I take it out and play two games on my commute every day, and I sit at the station twice without realizing it... Do you think this game can make me stronger? cannot. Can I be possessed by Emperor Ou? Neither can. But it just allows me to regain the pure joy of "playing a game requires using your brain and hands". The developer "Changsha Baifeng" is very knowledgeable. It has zero fees and no in-app purchases, and it purely allows you to feel the rhythm of "charging".
To be honest, the gaming industry is getting more and more complicated now, with “next generation” and “real-time ray tracing” being the main products at every turn. As a result, it's all repetitive work when playing. On the contrary, it is this kind of gadget that reminds me of the summer of 1990, when I was lying on the mat playing "Super Mario", just to jump over a mushroom and have fun for a long time. At that time, the games were not big, but the joy was huge.
I think back then we complained about the poor picture quality of the game, but now we don't feel the same when watching the high-definition picture quality. Maybe people are like this, the simpler they are, the easier it is to be satisfied. I recommend everyone to try this "Battery Charge". You will know that sometimes it is more interesting to store a 5MB game in your phone than to store several 40G "masterpieces"😎
