Brothers, as a veteran who has played all the way from red and white consoles to mobile games, today I am going to give you a new game from Amway that makes even a 35-year-old man like me - Emoticon Matcher.
To be honest, when I first saw this name, I thought to myself: Isn't this another skin-changing match-3 game? I ended up playing all morning, it was so delicious! Think back to when we were playing "Bejeweled" in the arcade, how could there be such a fancy thing? You have to eliminate blocks one by one, and you have to memorize formulas. It's better now, the screen is full of emoticons, including laughing, crying, rolling eyes, and kissing, which makes me happy just looking at it.
The biggest highlight of this game is that it combines traditional elimination gameplay with emoticon culture. Think about it, in the past when we played "Zuma" we had to calculate ballistics, and when we played "Tetris" we had to look at six paths. What about now? With a swipe of your finger, the emoji disappeared, and the background music was turned off. The "click-click" cancellation sound effect was particularly decompressing. It was much more enjoyable than hearing the "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" sound in the game arcade.
The level design is also careful, unlike some old games that just have a few modes over and over again. This game ranges from simple to perverted, and will easily keep you entertained until midnight. And the prop system is very friendly, unlike some mobile games that force you to spend money - this game is completely free! I remember when we played "Bubble Bobble" back then, we had to put coins in when we died. Now, it's better. If we save up the props, we can easily clear the level with three stars.
What touches me most is that it retains the purity of a single-player game. There is no forced Internet connection and no annoying social tasks. It is like returning to the era of inserting a card and playing. On the subway, while squatting, or between fishing, you can take out your mobile phone and enjoy it. Isn't this more realistic than those “masterpieces” that cost money?
By the way, the name of the developer, Nanjing Moye, sounds retro enough. I checked it out and found out that this company is quite interesting. It specializes in making small and beautiful stand-alone games, unlike those of big manufacturers. It can run on Android 5.0 and can be played smoothly on older phones, unlike some new games that require flagship phones.
In short, if you are looking for something relaxing and not tiring for your hands, and miss the joy of simply playing games in the past, this emoticon app is worth a try. Even though I'm old, I know what the “true fragrance” law is 😎
