I did not try to play a jump rope star! When I picked up a play date this weekend. I was actually looking for something else, but I searched for a slack Zile for only half of the correct title and staring at the jump rope star! Instead, at the top of the result. Curiosity- “Hot Rope Jump” was one of my favorite mini games in Mario Party 2 at the time, so I clicked it, and if I was given, with a tape in my refrigerator. 5 years old was greeted with a photo that looks like a paste. It was a kind of “I don’t say any more”. We purchased immediately.
As expected in the title, jump rope stars! It is a jump rope game for PlayDate. It provides several different modes for playing solos and cooperatives, and the latter is involved in two players who share one device. It’s pretty cool because we haven’t encountered many multi -player games for a play date. The game was created by Chris Cortierga (SOINKSTERS game), but the art was “designed by a talented 5 -year -old child”. And it’s adorable. If you try to set a new high score, you will use a crank to control the bunny bunny and the striped pig (?) Hold the rope jumping swing. Well, I don’t know exactly what the second character is, but they are shaking the rope. The goal is to do it within time with a small stick figure girl jumping.
Her timing is not always consistent, and as you progress, it will speed up, so it will start to be quite tricky about a minute later. However, by achieving a perfect swing, you earn points with the star meter on the side of the screen, and once you are filled, use the power to temporarily slow down and the girls are in the air. You can put more swing. In other modes, things are a little more complicated. For example, playing with a friend in two player catch mode needs to press the button to move the girl so that others can catch the stars that fall while swinging the rope. (It’s very difficult to do it yourself, I found it).
It’s a simple but fun small game, and the fact that you can involve someone else in foolishness. If both adults and children can enjoy it and do not want to increase the competitiveness at the night of the family game, there is a child mode for more tolerant style. This attacks me as another play date game. This is a kind that seems to fit the device naturally, and it looks like a friend to understand its charm.
