Video Games Experience

On Monday March 7, 2016 Garrett and I played several games, but the three most impressive to me are "This is the only level", "The Beagles", and "Wizard Wizard." The common things between the three games are simple designs, jumping to avoid dangerous traps and using arrow buttons as main movement. "This is the only level" is really interesting, if I had not watched Garrett played it, I would have no ideas how to pass through the stages. There are different stages with different environments but the same objective: to go through the gate at the right corner. At each stage, there is one short line at the left corner as a hint to player how to pass the stage. The game shows us different ways to show one problem, and sometimes it requires an open-minded player to figure out new, out of the box thinking to reach the final stage (for example: refreshing the stage, reading the credits, etc). For "Wizard Wizard", this game is the most difficult among the three. We died more than fifty times that night just to pass seven stages. The game's mechanic is simple and often seen at most game: jumping around to avoid the saw and get the key, to reach the gate. The wizard can use double jump too so it makes him more flexible for going up and down levels. The last game is "The Beagles" where we need to go to different height levels to rescue all the beagles, if we miss one, we lose. To go to higher level, we have to use rope; to go to lower level, we can either jump straight down or use parachute if it is too high. We have to fight the doctors and pet controls by shooting owls at them; ropes, parachutes and owls are picked up along the way. All there games are fun to play and watch. Garrett played "This is the only level" first, and he has played it many times before, that makes him the expert to go through the level really fast and gives me the idea of how to pass it with an open thinking. New tricks and skills are easily to learn if you watch others play it first, so that you can make it your own and develop the tricks.
