Happy days everyone,
Cordy's back.
Cordy started one of the very first reviews I think we ever did here on Androidizen.
And we've been following Cordy's career as it were
over the last year or so. The basic idea of Cordy is think Super Mario or
Sonic the Hedgehog style gameplay.
So the idea is it's a platformer
but a platformer in three dimensions. That means that whilst you can jump up and down
platforms at certain points in the game you will actually walk through the actual
scenery.
Allowing you to reach new areas.
You've got things like this rope lassoo which allows you to grab onto these various
chokepoints.
You have to collect
these kind of coggy energy ball things.
The idea, you know there is a loose story going on here with Cordy involved in trying to get back
to his home planet and as he
goes a long unfortunately he keeps getting dragged into these new situations, and
new planets he has to save.
As you can see, there's a lot of the standard kind of puzzle elements going on, platform owners
find the box
move the box to the right location, move and carry on
with the level.
There is an element here of trying to collect as many objects as you can or as many of
these cog symbols as you can
and also completing the levels as quickly as you can. So there's quite a lot to do
on each level and there's also like mini achievements as well to show you
that you've actually cleared the level
and achieved everything there is to achieve there.
These monsters that are available in each level
can be fairly tricky to get, you hit them in the head basically by landing on them
which you do on this particular stage.
Lots of varied monsters available
keeps things really interesting and
gameplay, just as is always the case with anything by the guys that make
Cordy, the gameplay is just fantastic.
Really really exceptional, here we go.
Transport to another area
Those zipline systems are
really important to the gameplay
as they allow you to reach new areas.
You can also double jump if you hadn't quite spotted that. Double jump in this game is
absolutely essential to reach most areas and to destroy certain bosses.
You have to get up quite high to be able to
take them on.
The Cordy games have been some of my favorite games I think I've ever
played on
any device for that matter. It's kind of a harking back to
the good old days
of games consoles when things were maybe a little bit simpler.
But the gameplay is absolutely spot on as you can see here, it's fast it's furious, the
graphics are absolutely fantastic
and it just has that
vibe to it that just keeps you coming back for more and more. Cordy is
undoubtedly
the Sonic the Hedgehog and
there we go, another level, and is really the Sonic the Hedgehog and the Mario of the mobile
devices and long may Cordy's reign continue.
Ooh, nearly beat my best time there!
