iOS puzzle game: Munch time review

Sometimes some games can appear seemingly easy but can take your toll to master upon. One such game is the munch time which is simple yet difficult. Munch Time is a iOS based game with really lively graphics which will keep you glued to the game. It is a rather simple game but it takes time to master it. Now let us have a quick peek into the insights of the game.



In the game you have to guide Munch, a chameleon, to his lunch. You are provided with various levels and difficulty which will increase according to the levels. The game is complete physics based puzzle where you have to guide Munch to his destination by tapping a specified location. One thing that should be noted here is that Munch cannot jump or move on the bulges instead you have to move the chameleon to the various colored flowers and tap them so that munch can catch the flowers with it's long lizard tongue.

Now you will be thinking if the game is so simple then why I have called the game as physics based puzzle. Now let us have a peek over the physics aspect of the game. The physics aspect lies in the latching of Munch, the speed, momentum and direction of munch all depends on its position of latch or more specifically the place from where the Munch latches. If you take a situation where Munch chances to catch a flower from above and right, then the Munch will move in high speed in the clockwise direction. Now, the twist in the game is once you have used most of the flowers, you are not supposed to use them again. So one thing that you should take due care is to remember the flowers Munch has munched otherwise you can end up to a used flower and will have no way to proceed. As stalling can affect Munch's momentum, the players have to take due care to move on to flowers with speed and accuracy.

If you look at the technicalities of the game, the characterization of Munch is commendable with its long versatile tongue. In addition to this, the visuals are really amusing which will keep you glued to the game. The deceptively simplicity of the game can make you feel that you can master it easily but once you actually play the game you will lament about your mistake. Games pacing is also really good. Initially you are provided with less number of flowers but gradually it increases. In the end you can also get some fireflies which when munched by munch can change the color of munch. So, on the whole, the iOS game, Munch Time is technically pretty sound.

Now let us have the final look on the game. Munch Time is a really cool game which will make you go gooey with excitement with its amusing visuals, deceptive simplicity and commendable characterization. There are some added interesting notes in the game like the inclusion of permanently rotating flowers and flowers which can blast. Pacing of the game is also really commendable. So, on the whole, it is a package that you should not miss.
