Eliss App Review

Eliss is a neat little puzzle game that takes you back to classic 90s graphics and has a simple goal in mind: planet supernovas. Although such a simple concept, all 20 sectors are drastically hard to play.

How it works:
You have planet spawns the give you, well, planets. You also have squeezars that require you to get planets of a certain color and size into them, causing a supernova which release stardust. You can split and combine planets of the same color but if two or more different color planets touch, your energy bar drains. You lose if you run out of energy. Collecting stardust allows you to gain life. You win by creating a certain number of supernovas.

If you think that is hard enough, whirlpools with high gravity and automated suns get thrown into the mix making things even harder.

Overall:

Controls: 10/10 One of the best uses of the multi-touch display Ive had the honor of playing.

Graphics: 8/10 Very 90s. Some may complain about their simplicity but I like it.

Sounds: 8/10 The soundtrack is perfect for the game. The high-pitched noises created by selecting something in the menu are annoying.

Gameplay: 10/10 Absolutely perfect but casual [puzzle] gamers will be put off by the difficulty.

Replay-ability: 9/10 Some of the first levels may not boast as much attention.

All in all, this scores a glorious 9/10. An outstanding work for a one-man team.
