Reviews for "One More Line"
It's a very nice, addicting game. The concept, graphics, and music are all wonderful. I could play this for half an hour before getting bored enough to switch to another game. The app feature allows people to play the game in places where they can't use a computer, and the game doesn't need a whole lot of time invested, good for those who are low on down time. I really can't complain about the game being screwy either, besides occasionally aiming for some node when I wanted to connect to another one instead. Two recommendations however: I suggest adding achievements and a variety of soundtracks, and I wish the best score would stay after I close the game, similar to total score does. Other than that, great game!
To the whiners who can't figure out how to play. You are supposed to grapple almost every node not shoot up the screen like an arrow. You die when you try to SKIP a node and shoot up the screen. DON'T DO THIS. Use every node and plan your release to connect to the side of the next node.
There are 3 ways to play that I found:
1: If the node is farther away: Spin around the node continuously until you can see the next node and can judge you release correctly. Time your release to aim to the side of the next node and grapple it. repeat. If your circle is too small just release and re-grab the same node to increase the circle radius. Avoid making too big a radius as you might hit another node, especially the one below you.
2. If the node is close or medium range: Spin around and release when you are in the middle point between the node you are on and the node you want to grab. Meaning if you drew a line connecting both nodes, release when you cross that line. Immediately click again to connect to the next node. This eliminates any chance of hitting the sides but won't work if the next node is rather far away.
3. If the nodes are spaced far apart or you are feeling risky: Try to grab the outside of the node and release as soon as you spin halfway around so you are pointing inwards. grab the outside of the next node and spin around to the inside again and release. This makes an 'S' pattern and requires precision timing and reflexes but feels really cool and you move up quickly!
I use a combination of all 3. I passed 50 after playing about 15 minutes. Then I played for another hour an only made it to 60...
Awesome game!
Here are what I think that could be added
1: Achievements ( 25 points, 50 points, 75, points, 100 points, etc etc )
2: Upgrades and shops ( ie: soundtracks, different colors, different color of tracks )
3: Power ups in the tracks ( ie: bonus points 25% possible to get after 45 points, speedy power up at 27 points ( increases speed by 1.5 / 2 ) - something like this.
You are right about it being addicted, as I am addicted to it, even though my best at the moment of this review is only 21...
I look forward for the new content, updates, and games! :D
my new objective of life... try to play until the end of the music!!!!!
