Information Name: Blink the Bulb Genre: Platforms – Free to Play Developer: White Sparkle Games Publisher: White Sparkle Games Release Date: January 2, 2017 Platform: PC (Steam) Price: Free Introduction A small game of simple platforms and With well-accomplished mechanics. It Has a cycle of day and night which changes the behavior of enemies, bosses and objects of chests.
History Tells The story of a universe called Jubilee Realm formed by the good memories of the festive times of the people however, the years go by and the Holidaemon appear, 6 creatures created from the bad memories of the Festivities that plan to contaminate everything with that negative energy. That's when we take control of Blink the Bulb, the hero who will destroy his evil plans and restore the positive energy of the worlds.
Sound The Sound changes depending on whether you are playing a world during the night or day cycle, take inspiration from some Sega Genesis games (some reminded me of some Sonic melodies).
Gameplay This Game has some mechanics that I had not seen before in this type of games, the first is a day/night cycle where the behavior of the enemies of the worlds will change, as well as the final Boss. Not only that, it also has chests that we can open using Sparks that are basically the coins of the game. In These chests we find objects that are divided into Assets and Liabilities, which vary depending on whether it is night or day.
This cycle can be changed in the game options in the Gameplay, but the game automatically changes to pass a level, for example, if you complete a level during the day cycle, the next level you choose will elapse during the night cycle, of course As I mentioned before, this you can change in the Options of the game to choose always if it is day or always at night.
Bulb uses the jump and double jump which is already common, as well as shooting small Sparks that barely hurt or you can hold down the button to produce a more powerful shot.
The game has Easy, Normal and Difficult difficulty that you can change in the game options in the Gameplay.
Technical Aspect Honestly The game doesn't ask for much so any computer should be able to make it work smoothly. It has different sizes for the game window and I think it also has Full Screen option (not noticed). The 16-bit art is nice, although I had some problems to see the Sparks on certain levels because of the color of the Background or the skewers (luckily these do not kill you instantly) Final Opinion Blink The Bulb is a short and enjoyable experience that reminds the Classics of the Genesis era, the mechanics in which it focuses is its day/night cycle in each of the levels that will produce a different experience and motivates its replay, plus it's free.
Positive and Negative Aspects + a solid plataformera experience.
+ Day/night Cycle that affects the behavior of enemies and objects that appear.
+ 5 Worlds (and a final world) with 2 levels each varying depending on the day/night cycle + Good Art and soundtrack + Levels quite wide, both vertical and horizontal, motivational exploration.
+ Free-Can confuse the most clueless about the day/night cycle-Bosses with quite simple patterns-Some colors make the skewers and Sparks difficult to distinguish.
