Energy ropes, magical fairies, shiny sky crystals, mythical beasts, throwing knives, wind vortexes - what do these things have in common? If you guessed that they are all things I see in my dreams when I eat too much garlic, you are half right. Oh dark garlic dreams, when will you let me sleep, when will you make these urges stop, when will... whoa, sorrrrry, got a bit away from myself there!
So in addition to that, the things I mentioned are also part of this great game, Beast Flyers!, which is conveniently on sale today for 99 cents through Zeepo.
Beast Flyers! (yes, there is an exclamation mark in the name, much like that movie The Informant!, which unfortunately did not contain wind vortexes or magical fairies - your loss Soderbergh!) is an action platformer where you take to the sky and hook your energy rope to various flying creatures. As these creatures pull you around, you have to complete missions in order to move forward.
The visuals in this game are fantastic, it has a wonderful and vivid colorful feel to it, with tons of fantastic creatures and effects (including varying weather). The music is fantastic too, it really sets the mood and creates a nice sense of immersion. The game is easy to pick up and start playing, but there's a lot of depth as well and you can play it for quite some time and still see new things constantly. To sum it up, this isn't your normal, run of the mill beast-riding, sky crystal-collecting game, this is much more.
It's on sale for today only, so grab it at this price while you can!
