Windows Phone Game Review: Laser Leisure

Laser Leisure for Windows Phone

Laser Leisure is a rather interesting game for your Windows Phone. The game is challenging, yet mildly frustrating. Game play is simple but requires well thought out strategy. I'm still not certain if I like Laser Leisure. There were a few glitches forth the fashion and some of the levels are downward correct frustrating. However, if you similar puzzle and logic blazon games, information technology's worth a try (glitches and all).

Laser Leisure calls upon you to hit targets with your light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation using a series of mirrors to reverberate and turn the laser beam. Laser Leisure is a 30 level game that progressively gets more than challenging beyond three skills levels (novice, advanced, and expert).

Laser Leisure Menu

The game'due south master menu presents options to play the game, access the game'due south options, read the instructions, view the high scores, and view the info/about screen. Laser Leisure has 2 game modes, Ladder and Freestyle. Ladder is the more than competitive mode where you work your way up the levels trying to score as many points. Freestyle is merely that, a freestyle mode in which you lot can choose whichever level you would like to tackle without worrying about the points.

In one case yous cull your level in either Freestyle or Ladder mode, a transition screen will appear that spells out the level with colored lasers. Once the animation is consummate, yous'll demand to tap the screen to enter the game. While the animated transition screen is a nice affect, it grows quondam quick. Maybe if the transition into the game was automated information technology wouldn't be and then bad merely as is, it's one aspect of Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation Leisure I can live without.

Laser Leisure'southward game screen is simply laid out. Yous accept a series of reflectors lining the left edge of the screen, your timer is up peak and your bonus points are displayed side by side to the timer. The playing field for Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation Leisure has your laser and targets strategically placed on a grid pattern with walls and other obstacles that you'll need to navigate around. Your target is the colored ball that matches your laser color. Dots of another colour are considered obstacles.

Laser Leisure Game

To place a reflector, just tap and hold on the piece you desire to use and drag information technology onto the playing field. Crosshairs volition announced illustrating all the possible reflective angles that particular mirror will generate. Each level has a variety of mirrors to use and they are express in number. Place them around the playing field to bounciness your laser to the target and when your fix to requite it a effort, tap the laser icon. If y'all hit the target, yous advance. If y'all miss, y'all get to retry with a points deduction or quit the game. You begin each level with 100 points and your ending total is the balance of the missed shot deductions and any bonus points you earn by striking bonus items on your way to your target.

The merely oddity with game play is that in one case yous put a mirror into play, yous can't remove it. At best you can move information technology out of the way but it would be nice to return the mirror back into the unused inventory. While we're talking about oddities, in that location is a glitch with Laser Leisure that every now and then has the game lock up when yous begin a level. The score summary screen appears only you can't tap continue to launch a game. Yous are able to back out to the primary card just the only solution is to leave and re-launch the game. I had this happen once while advancing to the side by side game level and several times when starting a game.

The graphics and game play of Laser Leisure are unproblematic but completing the level can be frustratingly challenging. The mirrors accept to exist just right to bounce the laser to the adjacent mirror, eventually hitting the target. One piffling deviation will screw the pooch.

All in all, Laser Leisure is a decent game for your Windows Phone that is rather challenging. Unfortunately, the glitches add together a level of frustration to the game'due south challenge and detracts from the enjoyment. Shorten the transition screens, fix the stability bug, and allow for mirrors to be removed and the game improves nicely. The fixes would let players to concentrate on the challenge of the game. While Laser Leisure has room for improvement, it still is worth a endeavor.

Laser Leisure is a free, advertising supported game for your Windows Phone that you can observe hither at the Windows Phone Marketplace.
