Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! I hope that ye hearties are having a fantastic time. Me and the crew had a quick holiday on land and we had a lot of fun roller skating. Aye, I was good at it when I was a little lad. Me always played with me friends back then. It’s been a long time since me done it since we are sailing and booty hunting most of the time. This bucko struggled a bit when me tried it again, but it didn’t take long and I got used to it again. These buccaneers were impressed at me roller skating skills. The app that we have for review today is also about roller skating. It’s called Sky Roller by Homa Games. Listen up and let’s start.
Simple gameplay, but challenging
Sky roller is a game that will require you to reach the end of the level while rollerblading your way there. Of course, it would not be a smooth ride because it needs challenge too. There will be obstacles that you need to avoid, while trying to collect gems. There are plenty of them by the way, so you can collect a lot in one level. Swipe left and right to spread legs or keep them together, depending on what the track will require you. It sounds simple, and the first few levels are easy to complete. However, as you progress in the game, the tracks also become more challenging, although they are still not too frustrating to complete.
Controls work properly
Swiping left and right would be what you would be doing the entire time. The controls work perfectly so it would follow what you would want it to do. You just need to be quick and precise, especially on more challenging tracks to prevent your character from falling.
Minimalist graphics
The background of the game is mostly light in colors and they are silhouettes of buildings. Then there are the tracks, gems, and the character. There are different characters that you will unlock and others would require in game currency. If you collect enough, you don’t have to spend anything to use the other characters. This is also true with the roller skates. You can unlock different designs of roller skates that you can choose to in the game.
It’s free but with non-intrusive ads
The game is free for download and although there are ads, they come out after about 2 or 3 levels, so they do not really keep on popping up. There are also ads that will earn you gifts and in game currencies, so they are not too bad.
The good
Sky Roller is free to play and although it has ads, they are not intrusive. It has a simple gameplay and the controls work properly. There are several characters and skates to unlock.
The bad
Although the tracks may vary a bit, the gameplay is the same for all levels.
The verdict
Sky Roller is a free and enjoyable game that you can play, especially on a break or when you want to keep yourself entertained. It can be repetitive though after a while, but the different characters and skates that you can unlock make it more exciting.
