Edge is platforming entertainment at its simplest form. To this day, it seems as though none have managed to develop a game which delights me to the level of Edge; Mobigame have combined great retro graphics with smooth music and enjoyable platforming gameplay. As an added bonus, you get to play as a square. FINALLY, MY SQUARE FANTASIES HAVE BEEN REALIZED.
Graphics: For a retro game, these graphics are spot on. Edge was released quite a while ago, and yet it seems to have better graphics than some of the newer games released today. Everything works, from the glowing squares, to the gray squares, to the white squares. Somehow, Mobigame has grasped my perfect dream-world, and created something far beyond anything my imagination could have come up with. The audio is a great accompaniment; soothing, abstract sounds help you, the cube, as you tackle the many challenging puzzles you must face to rescue your lady love, the triangular prism (this may not actually be true)
Controls: Mobigame provides you with multiple control options to choose from. Unfortunately, for some of the puzzle elements (such as balancing yourself against walls) there were only a few control options that worked the most. We found that the easiest control method was the on-screen control scheme, with buttons for each direction. They allowed you to easily move the cube in all directions, although they seem to be angled in a strange way.
Gameplay: Edge is not just a platformer; it is an experience. The ambient sounds, perfect graphics, and smooth puzzling gameplay makes you feel like you’re in a virtual world. The game contains over 40 levels, each one with many different puzzle elements. For example, one may be required to activate and ride a giant robot, to reach the exit goal. Mobigame have created a puzzle game with limitless entertainment, for each puzzle is a unique and enjoyable experience. I find that I return to this gem of a game over and over again, attempting to reveal the location of each of the secret glowing thingies; the replay value seems to go on and on.
Recap: If you’re looking for a new title with a simple formula, this is not the game for you. However, if you’re willing to buy a game that will delight you with abstract visuals, music, and intuitive gameplay, then this is definitely our pick for you. Buy Edge today, and receive FREE SQUARES WITH NO EXTRA CHARGE!
