Another gem I found while searching the web for cool indie games.
This game is called Chain Reaction and I can say that there is probably no better title to fit this game. Not only is it the best title for this game, it is also the best way to describe it. Avoid the chain reactions going on around you and survive for as long as you can!

Gameplay: 7.1/10

There isn't much going on, but what is going on is good! The gameplay feels nice and it does what it needs to do without any problems. What I was missing though was the stimulation of continueing. I did feel that I wanted to continue after I died, but that feeling was gone too soon. They should have added a score function that actually standed out instead of the timer you vaguely see above the screen. Like I said in the video, I think it would be very succcesful on IOS devices like Iphone/Ipad or Android devices. If they add a score counter and if they  add scoreboards of course.

Music: 7.0/10

I haven't got much to say about the music and sound design. It did the job well. What did stand out was the sound effect of the chain reactions. The more it reacted, the higher the frequency was. That was a nice touch, but next to that there wasn't much going on really...

Graphics: 7.0/10

Again, like all the other things in this game. Even the graphics. It is simplistic, but well done.

There is a huge difference in simplistic and simple.

simplistic: It looks simple, but you can see that many choices were made on how to make it look interesting while looking simple.

simple: A lack of talent, dedication and/or experience. The last is definitely not the case!

How do I see this? For example, the animation of the disappearing squares looks professional. There is always something professional looking in simplistic games.
