Super Crate Box Review
Calendar16 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:48:15 UTC +00:00
Posted 01/23/2012 at 9:48am | by Andrew Hayward Upon first glance, Super Crate Box seems singularly focused on the speedy collection of the titular objects, which pop up randomly on the screen one at a time until nabbed. Each bumps up your top-of-screen tally, but also equips you with a surprise weapon: a laser rifle, rocket launcher, or mines, among other possibilities. However, as you nimbly leap from platform to platform trying to boost your score, the screen fills with anxious alien foes, all aiming to nix your pixel protagonist. It's impressively – and almost obnoxiously – difficult at first, and the lack of a tutorial and tips don't help. Most folks struggle to hit double digits for some time, and many cite the occasionally sticky virtual controls for every little folly. It's OK: I've been there too. Super Crate Box isn't impossibly hard, just easily misunderstood. Luckily, the game's initially Read More
01.13.12        App Score: 10/10    Excruciatingly difficult. So addictive my fingers are now bleeding. I wish the disc gun had never been invented. These are just a few thoughts running through my mind when I think about . The 8-bit sound and blitzkrieg type movement is evil, but feels so right. It’s a symphony of tiny chaotic jitters that on one hand begs for the game of the year title and on the other is so frustrating I want to delete it. But it won’t let me. Yes, it has a spell on me and I’ve yet to delete it. But what makes Super Crate Box so enticing is also what makes it so difficult. The task, should you choose to accept it, is to collect crates. Those crates are the key to some unknown master plan. For now, the only thing they do is to help you Read More

iCade: der Mini-Arcade-Automat für das iPad (+ Video)
Calendar16 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 08:06:37 UTC +00:00
Um die erste aller Fragen gleich vorwegzunehmen: Ja, über iMAME lässt sich eine gigantische Auswahl an (NeoGeo-)ROMs dem iPad unterschieben und anschließend über die iCade spielen. Wer schnell genug meinem iOS-Download-Tipp nachging, kann hier ordentlich Spaß haben. Aber dies nur als Randbemerkung, weil bereits die Auswahl an offizieller iOS-Software, die sich der kleinen Spielstation unterwirft, vortrefflich unterhält. Dies sind derzeit meine Lieblingstitel, die sich über das Joystick-Board spielen lassen: Auf einen weiteren Software-Ausbau darf mit steigender Popularität gehofft werden. Doch schon für das jetzige Dutzend an iPad-Titeln lohnt sich die Anschaffung. Das Accessoire kostet überschaubare 80 Euro (Affiliate-Link) und nimmt das Apple Tablet sowohl im Hoch- als auch Querformat auf. Die stabile Konstruktion rutscht selbst ruppigen Spielhöllen-Freunden nicht von der Tischplatte. Wichtig: Damit die iCade sich am iPad als Bluetooth-Tastatur korrekt anmeldet, muss unter iOS ein US- oder UK-Layout gewählt werden. Der leuchtende Münzeinwurf blickt zwar auch unter dem deutschen Keyboard, Read More

Daily iPad App: Super Crate Box
Calendar16 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:00:00 UTC +00:00
Super Crate Box appeared on iOS today (even though it's already packed with players), and I'm willing to say that it's the first great game of 2012. Especially on the iPad, where the virtual controls are a little bigger and the graphics are a little easier to see, this is a really slick and well-done arcade platformer. Sure, has its moments of frustration, but stays addictive throughout. The game's been available as a PC download from developer Vlambeer for a little while already, but I think it works better as an iOS game. To play, you run around a one-screen 2D level trying to collect as many crates as you can, while avoiding enemies who resemble surreal skulls. The action is fast and crazy, as just one hit will kill your character and end your game. But that frenetic, temporary action works -- games are short and fast enough that even Read More

+ Universal App $0.99 Our Review By Carter Dotson on January 6th, 2012 Rating: :: AWESOME BOX Super Crate Box is an fast-paced arcade action game developed by Vlambeer that makes players try to survive against hordes of enemies swarming them. Developer: Price: $0.99 Version Reviewed: 1.0 Device Reviewed On: iPad 2 Graphics / Sound Rating: Game Controls Rating: Gameplay Rating: Replay Value Rating: Overall Rating: Prior to the release of Super Crate Box, Vlambeer had not officially released an iOS title. However, evidence sure existed that their titles would work on iOS – not just with the infamous Ninja Fishing that apparently ripped off their Flash game Radical Fishing. It was also that took particular inspiration from Super Crate Box, adding in RPG-style character leveling and some twists of their own, particularly in updates to the game. So while Super Crate Box’s core gameplay is not entirely new to iOS, Read More
Super Crate Box [99¢] finally launched yesterday to a fairly rousing reception. I caught tons of people praising the game all over the Twitters, in our forums, and probably in other social outlets that I'm not even cool enough to know about yet. With no other big releases this week, Super Crate Box has been the talk of the town for the past 24 hours or so, and has in turn been shooting right up the paid app charts, currently sitting just inside the top 40 overall. But another clever way to see just how many people are engrossed in Super Crate Box is by the "total crates collected" counter on the main menu. Basically, it tallies up the number of crates that have been collected across all players on iOS, or at least the ones that have connected to the internet, since the game's release. At the onset, developer Vlambeer Read More
Growing up a child of the 80s, I certainly have an appreciation for new games that pay homage to anything within the 8-bit to 16-bit era, especially when it comes to games that ramp up the difficulty meter to near impossible levels in order to give the current generation of gamers a nice kick in the pants. Vlambeer’s Super Crate Box has both qualities that I respect in a game, and if you decide to play it, will not only frustrate you, but it’ll most likely cause you to shout expletives at a doctor’s office, during church, or anywhere else you think it’s safe to play it. Super Crate Box is a platformer whose graphics and style offer a throwback to a more simple time in gaming history. Its 8-bit style graphics, gameplay mechanics, and music all engross the player in an experience thought only possible through a time machine. Your goal is Read More
Super Crate Box sprengt Pixel-Träume

“” – endlich darf man Vlambeer, das niederländische Indie-Studio, mit Geld bewerfen. Magere 79 Cent sind für die Universal-Version von Super Crate Box (App Store-Link) aus der Tasche zu ziehen. Mit dieser Investition unterstützt man gleichzeitig Halfbot, einen Entwickler-Partner, der mit The Blocks Cometh (0.79 €; App Store-Link) bereits Pixel-Punkte im App Store sammelte. Durch Teamarbeit glänzt der heute veröffentlichte Retro-Platformer mit präziser Touch-Steuerung, die euch unter hypnotischen Chiptunes-Klängen zu kurzen 10-Sekunden-Partien an den Bildschirm fesselt. Unterwegs ein lustiger Zeitvertreib; in den eigenen vier Wänden an der iCade schlicht grandios. It’s endlessly cheerful, and cheerfully deadly, and it’s the perfect digital companion for the month of January, with its frosty clarity and new years’ resolutions. Here is a piece of design that offers a path to true mastery through careful practice. Here is a game that provides unceasing opportunities for self-improvement. iPhone-3GS-Besitzer warten noch aufs nächste Update: Diese erste Version fährt Read More

Thanks to the holiday iTunes freeze, it's been weeks since we've seen a proper release onslaught. Naturally, being the first proper Wednesday night following the freeze you'd expect iOS developers to release the proverbial kraken as the previously plugged supply line of games gets freed up, right? Well, that doesn't really seem to be the case. The good news is, Super Crate Box is coming out tonight, and we've had a great time with a preview copy of the game. So, definitely snag that. Here's the full list: Asteroids 2012, $2.99 - Forum Thread - This space flyer comes with multiple game modes, control types, and even an augmented reality mode. With Atari's latest stint of getting games removed from the App Store, it might not be a bad idea of snagging this before they catch wind of the title if it looks interesting to you.
