When I first saw "A Dog Calls a Cat", I almost thought I was dazzled. 2D casual 1V1 ejection round battle mobile game? This name sounds like a joke made up by a young person, but when I clicked on it and played it, hey, it's pretty cool! Thinking back to our time, if anyone said they could fight cats and dogs on their mobile phones, they would be regarded as aliens🌍
Having said that, the gaming industry has changed a lot in recent years. I had just entered the game at that time, and I was still playing "Tank Battle" on the red and white console. It took a long time to insert the golden finger of the cassette to get the screen. After a round, I had to blow through my mouth. Later, there were arcade machines, and you could flip the joystick by just inserting a coin. That was a luxury. Later, computer games came out, and the animation of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" could make people cry all night. Thinking about it now, the tears at that time were more real than the barrage now 😂
It's great now that you can play a game anytime, anywhere with just one swipe on your mobile phone. A game like "Dog Calls Meow" is ridiculously easy to play, and even a handicap like me can fight with cats and dogs. The gameplay of the ejection battle is, to put it bluntly, a simplified version of the idea of "Insects", but people have added cute pet elements into it. Cats and dogs fight, making the whole game cute. Children want to play after watching it, and old aunts also want to play it.
What impresses me most is the charging model. When I was a kid, I bought a game cartridge to save a month's pocket money, and I still keep it as a family heirloom. Now "Dogs Call Cats" is directly priced at 0%. Twenty years ago, the boss would have called you crazy. But actually thinking about it carefully, this just shows that the game industry has matured. In the past, we were selling products, but now we are selling services. If players are happy, they will naturally be willing to pay for it. If they are not, they will just go for it, and no one will lose.
Of course, as an old player who has experienced countless games, I have to say this: Although this kind of casual catapult game is fun, don't get addicted. I stayed in the arcade room all night playing "The King of Fighters" and fell asleep in class the next day. Now that we have mobile phones, we have to control ourselves even more. After all, at our age, our waists are not good, and our cervical spine is even worse🤣
Finally, I would like to give a suggestion to young friends: If you want to experience the changes in games, you might as well use "Dog Calls Cat" as an introduction to learn about the originators of "Bubble Bobble" and "Zuma" back then. You will find that although the picture quality has changed from pixels to high-definition, and from the handle to fingers, the gameplay and happiness have actually never changed.
Okay, the old driver has brought the car here. You guys can play while I go feed my real cat🐱
