PLAYPLAYFUN'S IMPRESSION ON DARKLAND:
I like the fact that a minimalist game minimizes the game even further. Darkland remove the need for an arrow button and jump button because the game element does that for you. All you need to do is to touch to move forward, control your momentum and let the game do the rest for you.
However, don't be fooled. Simple control does not mean easy gameplay. Darkland is difficult. I started to struggle on level 5. However, it's good that Darkland does not end the game when you dies because, otherwise, it would have been too frustrating. It does, however, need a checkpoint so that you don't have to start from the very beginning of the stage whenever you dies, especially near the exit!
The graphic with its shadow style is above average for minimalist games while the music is surprisingly serene and relaxing to hear.
Overall, I played the first 11 levels on my first play through. I find myself wanting to see what challenges await me at the next level. I enjoy Darkland quite extensively and it definitely deserves more attention on the app store.
