We always cherish those lighter moments in life. For that, most people like to take a hot bath, watch a movie or listen to their favourite genre. And for others, there are games like Stubies.
A peek at the screenshots or the first few moments with this indie game might give you the impression of a childish or immature game, which may be due to its sub-threshold resemblance to the Teletubbies show in looks or even the name. But you’ll soon enough taste the sourness of the puzzling gameplay masked within. In this Candy Crushed and Bejewelled era, no-one would’ve thought that matching just twos would be such a challenge.
The aim of each level is to reach the given target number of popped Stubies. But as you proceed from Blue to Orange levels across the spectrum, things get tight and maintaining a rainbow crowd of haphazard bots doesn’t seem easy anymore. Suddenly, a pair of eyes and the ten-point multi-touch screen isn’t good enough! You start squinting your eyes and pulling up your feet just for an extra finger on the screen. Pits to the oblivion and falling down the edge of the Earth starts to threaten your stars. Apparently, a blue and a green minion doesn’t collide into a Cyan one (damn you Physics!), but instead gets petrified into an obstructive pillar. Fear not, for Rambo minions capable of floating, drilling and bombing are here to help. Multicoloured Joker Stubies and colour coded gift boxes pitch in too.
Stubies was featured by Apple during the week of release and I couldn’t help but agree with the Cupertino editors on that. It was among the Top 10 games in over 50 countries too. It is comforting to know that good indie games like Stubies are still making an impact on the App Store.
