We came across a very nice casual game, which is having tons of potential in

entertaining users, so we thought to post a few comments on that. Every week we will
cover up one game, and will explain about its features, pros and cons so that you can
have right insight before downloading the game.

The game we will be digging into is "The Howitzer - Sling Shot Adventure". It's a recent
game launch for Android devices and iOs based devices by Techy Mau Game Studios.
The best feature is that they do cover all the tablets so unlike many other games,
tablet users can enjoy the game too. Game is built on latest technology and is
performing well on older versions and low end devices too. Below are mentioned
factors which you should consider before downloading the game. Check them out.

Design: Team has really done a good job on the design perspective and it seems that
every single level is designed with much research and keeping in mind that every user
can clear it. It does not mean that the levels are pretty easy to clear, but that if you use
bit of physics logic into game play the hard levels can be cleared too.

Secondly the design is pretty neat with only essential elements into it. UI is clean and
this ensures minimum clicks to play the game. From the home screen to game-play,
the game can be played simply and is easy to understand. Initial loading is greeted by
a pretty video which is really nice, and then there are no splash screens and all you
have is to start the game-play.

Buttons look bit weird but blend with the design, home screen animations can be done
better and the screen transitions can also be improved. Currently they have a vintage
feel.

Overall we can rate the game 8.5/10 on design.

Game Play: The most important segment in rating a game is its game-play and
engagement of users in game-play. Team has done a good amount of work and coding

to make the game-play smooth. Every level is with increasing difficulty but developers
have given ways like Bouncing Pads and re-directors to clear the level. For assistance
they also show the trail where your ball will land and also help in deciding the direction
of ball.

I figured out few crashes when any button is pressed repeatedly very fast. Developers
must try to fix that, but in fact no one does that, so that might be the reason they left
it. They have 40 levels in the initial launch and the levels designed was like medium
difficulty, so all the levels take like 4-5 hours of game-play to complete the game.
Developers have committed a new update with more levels soon.

Overall game-play we can rate at 9/10.

User Base: The game is with the rating of 3+ year’s age, so even the kids can play the
game, and the game will increase creativity and their control over physics and
calculations. Also the game can be played by adults as it is entertaining and
challenging. Game Studio has used the common sling shot mechanism but put it in a
story-line where there is a rivalry between the boxes and balls. And thus there is a
story-line involved. Kids are going to love it. The initial feedbacks are also promising
and developers have handled any reported bugs with grace.

Monetization: The best part about the game is that it is totally free to download and
play. There is a store inside the game which allows you to purchase different types of
balls which are more damaging and with special abilities, but that you can purchase
without spending a penny. All the purchases can be made using the in game currency
which are coins which you can easily earn by clearing levels, sharing the game and
watching rewarded videos. So even the kids can unlock all the stuff and can engage
into a challenging game-play without any load on their parent's pockets.

Overall the game is fun to play and is engaging with simplistic timeline. Still the effects
and presentation can be improved easily, which we think developers must be working
on. So have a great weekend ahead enjoying "The Howitzer - Sling Shot Adventure",
and lets meet next week with review on any other game or any game update.
