Poultry in Motion- newtonica2 Reviewed

Your
goal is to properly time tapping, and sometimes aligning, black
spheres that generate “cosmic waves” in order to save a baby bird
(wearing a space helmet!) lost floating in space and return it to its
father via swirling portals. I wouldn’t be surprised if the game was
originally set in a pond. Tapping the black spheres generates waves
that nudge the bird and fade away as the ripples spread outward. There
are also strange creatures called “Elppa” with different properties
that act a bit like bumpers on a pinball table. The game is about as
adorable as it can be and still have cool indie cred.

newtonica2
has 36 (Maybe more?) small stages and some nice replayability via
collecting doughnuts and achieving better times (an online “world
ranking” board is available). It’s an absolute steal at only 99
cents. My one complaint is a lack of a level editor. Hopefully one will
be released eventually. The stages seem to go by a bit quick at first
but there’s a good amount
of fun to be had and it gets pretty challenging. I
already want more despite not yet having beaten the game. (That’s a
good sign indeed!) To my delight, a sequel was just released called newtonica2 resort. I got it right away.
