Retro beauty with enjoyable puzzles – The Last Rocket Review

(Pros and cons at the bottom. Reviewed on an iPhone 5). The Last Rocket is a short but fun arcade-puzzle game, definitely worth the price of admission. Each level tasks you with flying Flip around a one-screen stage, collecting gears and trying to make it to the exit platform. Along the way, there are little computer terminals to provide tips and a bit of story, and there are many hidden gears to try to find, which can add to replay value quite a bit. The gameplay is straightforward and slowly becomes more complex by the end of the game (nothing ridiculous, though) and the puzzles are great and satisfying to figure out. The controls occasionally feel unresponsive (timing is often quite important), partially because of how fast Flip moves mixed with a lack of supporting the iPhone 5's full screen. However, no big deal and I was able to complete the game by making sure I kept my fingers toward the center of the screen. Pros: +Charming graphics and character designs. Flip's design is super cute! +Fun and satisfying level progression +Replay value thanks to hidden gears to collect, which also adds some nice challenge Cons: -Not optimized for iPhone 5's full screen -Sometimes it feels like Flip is moving a bit too fast in some stages where timing is vital If you are looking for a cute and sometimes challenging arcade-puzzle game, don't hesitate to get this one.
