如果我们要对游戏进行分类，我们可以通过很多参数来做到这一点，并且有很多类型，如果我们将它们全部命名，我们可能会开始头晕目眩。但是有一种非常简单的方法可以将游戏分为两个不同的类别：快节奏游戏和慢节奏游戏。如果您想要的不仅仅是反应时间和激动人心的动作，那么您来对地方了。本月我们推荐一款全新的益智游戏(puzzle game)，它不仅令人惊叹，而且还能从你的生活中偷走相当多的工作时间。阅读我们的评论以了解适用于Android的(Android)Afterloop：
释放你的心灵！
通常当我们现在听到益智游戏时，我们往往会想到《宝石迷阵》之类的游戏，它们每个都提供相同的游戏玩法，图形略有不同，并没有为该类型带来任何新东西。幸运的是，Afterloop是一款非常不同的游戏，尽管它属于同一类型。
这个谜题来自小型独立游戏开发工作室 eXiin(game developer studio eXiin)，只有两个人创立和运营：Seb 和 Sam(Seb and Sam)。这两个家伙设法带回了我们最喜欢的益智游戏之一，其中包含一些不错的转折和一些现代添加。纯经典益智类游戏的玩法与现代氛围、画面和功能完美融合，打造了一款真正棒的手游——顺便说一句，iOS和Android都可以使用（我们已经测试了Android版本(Android version)） ）。
你还记得一个名为推箱子的古老经典(Sokoban)益智游戏(puzzle game)吗？这是一种运输谜题(transport puzzle)，玩家在仓库中推箱子或板条箱，试图将它们送到存储位置。该游戏可能在每个可以想象的平台上都有许多不同的实现，因此我们很确定您之前至少看过或可能玩过类似推箱子的游戏。
Afterloop非常相似，但仍然不同。我们的化身，我们控制的主角，是一个名为PR8的机器人，它正在拯救它的兄弟姐妹。你是负责让他通过关卡并在你的路上释放其他机器人的人。游戏本质上是一个巨大的迷宫，有超过 300 个不同难度的关卡。
每个关卡都是一个与推箱子(Sokoban)游戏非常相似的小游戏，您会看到一个谜题：在一个关卡上，您可以根据板条箱上的标记朝一个方向推动许多板条箱。有些板条箱只能垂直推动，有些只能水平推动，而有些则可以双向推动。
每个级别的目标都是通过将板条箱推开以清除路径来到达出口。当然，随着您在关卡中的进步，这会变得越来越复杂。空间(Space)总是有限的，所以你在推动之前可能要三思而后行。一段时间后，链接的箱子会出现：颜色(color move)相同的箱子会一起移动，即使它们彼此相距很远。这意味着如果您将一个黄色板条箱推向左侧，所有其他黄色板条箱都会向左移动，无论它们在哪里——当然，如果它们没有被另一个板条箱或墙壁挡住。
如果相邻的板条箱可以向同一方向移动，您可以同时推动更多板条箱，从而创建板条箱块 - 这些附加属性会创建一些非常困难的谜题，其中只有一组特定的移动可以让您完成给定的水平。
游戏可以在四种不同的模式下进行：冒险(Adventure)、收集狂热(Collect Mania)、时间攻击(Time Attack)和完美动作(Perfect Moves)。冒险(Adventure)是基本模式，您必须在此模式下完成一个关卡才能在其他模式下玩。在这里您可以收集关卡上的星星（每个关卡三个），如果您收集到足够多的星星，您将获得一把钥匙。
经过一定的关卡后，下一组关卡在锁着的门后面，因此您需要收集最少数量的星星才能在钥匙的帮助下进入下一阶段的游戏。有时你无法通过解决关卡的谜题来获得所有星星，你必须做额外的动作，甚至可能会让你无法通过关卡的动作。不用担心，您可以根据需要多次重新启动任何级别，您甚至可以使用时间硬币多次撤消步骤。
在Collect Mania中，您必须通过关卡的每个图块，在Time Attack中，您需要在一定时间内完成关卡，而在Perfect Moves中，您只有有限的推动次数才能完成关卡。
关卡与走廊相连，在每个关卡之后你都可以收集比特，这些比特可以用来购买额外的东西，比如你卡住的关卡的解决方案、时间币，或者增加时间币限制。您还可以在关卡之间来回切换，因此您不必按顺序进行操作。
欢迎来到神奇的世界
在某些关卡中，需要将魔法板条箱推到平台上才能推倒关卡的墙壁并打开前进的道路。这些非常罕见，但提供了一个有趣的附加谜题。
你的头像是一个叫做PR8的有趣的小机器人，每次你完成一个关卡时都会很开心，如果你在关卡上犯了不可挽回的错误，它会感到难过，而且通常看起来很好看。他可以定制数十种皮肤 - 其中一些是根据您的表现而获得的，而另一些则可以用比特币或真钱购买。
是的，Afterloop中有应用内购买，但幸运的是，它们都非常适合游戏玩家，并且不会破坏游戏体验(gaming experience)，让游戏付费赢取(game pay-to-win)。您可以购买PR8的皮肤、比特和时间币或增加时间币上限，但即使您不想花钱，游戏仍然绝对可玩，购买不会提供任何不公平的优势。这些唯一烦人的副作用是游戏不时发送的通知 - 这些不是很受欢迎，更多的是烦恼而不是有用的东西。
Afterloop的世界美丽而神奇，从绿色的森林和茂密的丛林到贫瘠的沙漠和火山灰地，应有尽有。这伴随着非常谨慎的声音效果和即使从长远来看也不会令人讨厌的乐谱。整个游戏世界(game world)非常温馨可爱，完全没有暴力元素，这也让Afterloop成为您孩子的绝佳选择。
如果您是一名完成主义者，很高兴知道该游戏不仅测量完成一个关卡所需的时间和(time and number)推动次数，还提供统计数据，而且由于它实施了Google Play 游戏服务(Google Play Games Services)，您可以将您的分数与您的朋友或其他玩游戏的人进行比较。还有不少于 23 项成就可供解锁。

判决
很高兴知道，如今的游戏不仅仅归结为速度、快节奏的战斗、动作和暴力(action and violence)。当遇到像Afterloop这样的游戏时，人们只会感到高兴。在许多方面，它与我们之前回顾过的 The Path to Luma相似，因为在那里我们还需要控制一个类似机器人的实体、要解决的谜题以及要探索的魔法世界。(Luma)
幸运的是，这些都是积极的相似之处，而Afterloop 又(Afterloop)增加了很多。不知何故，谜题不会变得重复，并且从一个级别到另一个级别并看到其他机器人因您的技能而获得自由是很有趣的。在内容方面，我们可以毫无怨言：四种游戏模式共300个关卡，加起来一共要经历1200种不同的体验。结合广阔而多彩的世界、匹配的乐谱和许多其他小但非常好的功能（如撤消），它们使Afterloop成为一款可以轻松成为任何人的最爱的游戏，无论他们的年龄或政治偏好如何。继续推一些盒子！
Free Android game of the month - Reviewing Afterloop
If we were to categorize games, we could do so by a lot of parameters and there are so many genres thаt our head might start spinning if we wеre to name them all. But there is a very simple way to split gamеs into two distinct categories: there are fast-pacеd and slow-paced games. If you would like something that isn't all about reaction times and heart-pumping action, then you came to the best place. This month we reсommend a brand new puzzle game that is not only stunning, but can also stеal away quite a lot of work hourѕ from your life. Read our review tо get to know Afterlоop for Android:
Free your mind!
Usually when we hear about puzzle games nowadays, we tend to think about Bejeweled-clones and the like, each of them offering the same gameplay, with slightly varied graphics and bringing nothing new to the genre. Fortunately, Afterloop is a very different game, even though it fits into the same genre.
This puzzler comes from the small indie game developer studio eXiin, founded and run by only two people: Seb and Sam. These two guys managed to bring back one of our favourite puzzle games with some nice twists and several modern additions. The gameplay of a pure classic puzzle-type game blends perfectly with the modern atmosphere, graphics and features, creating a truly awesome mobile game - which is, by the way, available for both iOS and Android (w e've tested the Android version).
Do you remember an old, classical puzzle game named Sokoban ? It is a type of transport puzzle, in which the player pushes boxes or crates around in a warehouse, trying to get them to storage locations. This game had many different implementations on possibly every imaginable platform, so we're quite sure you have at least seen, or possibly played, a Sokoban-like game before.
Afterloop is something very similar, but still different. Our avatar, the main character we control, is a robot called PR8 that is on a journey to save its siblings. You are the one responsible for getting him through the levels and freeing other robots on your way. The game is essentially one gigantic labyrinth with over 300 levels of varying difficulty.
Each level is a small game very similar to a game of Sokoban , where you are presented with a puzzle: on a level there are a number of crates you can push in a direction, depending on the markings on the crate. Some crates can be pushed only vertically, others only horizontally, while there are some that can be pushed both ways.
The goal of every level is to reach the exit by pushing the crates away to clear a path. Of course this gets more and more complicated as your progress through the levels. Space is always limited, so you might want to think twice before you make that push. After a while linked crates will appear: crates with the same color move together, even if they are far away from each other. This means that if you push a yellow crate to the left, all other yellow crates will move to the left, no matter where they are - if they are not blocked by another crate or a wall of course.
If adjacent crates can move in the same direction, you can push more of them at the same time, thus creating blocks of crates - these additional properties create some really hard puzzles, where there is only a single specific set of moves that lets you finish a given level.
The game can be played in four different modes: Adventure , Collect Mania , Time Attack and Perfect Moves. Adventure is the basic mode and you have to complete a level in this mode in order to be able to play it in other modes. Here you can collect stars on the levels (three on each), and if you collect enough stars, you will get a key.
After a certain set of levels, the next set is behind a locked door, so you will need to collect a minimum number of stars in order to progress to the next phase of the game with the help of keys. Sometimes you won't be able to pick up all stars by solving the level's puzzle, you have to do additional moves, maybe even ones that would otherwise make you fail the level. No worries, you can restart any level as many times as you want, and you can even undo steps a couple of times by using time coins.
In Collect Mania you have to pass through every tile of the level, in Time Attack you need to complete the level in a certain amount of time, while in Perfect Moves you have a limited number of pushes to complete the level.
The levels are interconnected with corridors, and after each level you can collect bits, which can be used to purchase extras, like the solution for a level you're stuck on, time coins, or increase time coins limit. You can also go back and forth between levels, so you don't have to do them sequentially.
Welcome to a magical world
On some levels there are magical crates that need to be pushed on a platform in order to bring down the walls of the level and open the way forward. These are quite rare, but provide an interesting additional puzzle.
Your avatar is a funny little robot called PR8 that is very happy each time you complete a level, gets sad if you make an irrevocable mistake on a level, and is generally good to look at. He can be customized with dozens of skins - some of these are awarded for your performance, while others can be bought for bits or real money.
Yes, there are in-app purchases in Afterloop , but fortunately all of them are really gamer-friendly, and don't ruin the gaming experience, by making the game pay-to-win. You can buy skins for PR8, bits and time coins or increase time coins limit, but even if you don't wish to spend any money, the game still remains absolutely playable, the purchases don't offer any unfair advantage. The single annoying side-effect of these are the notifications the game sends from time to time - these are not very welcome, and more of an annoyance than a helpful thing.
The world in Afterloop is beautiful and magically crafted, with landscapes ranging from green forests and lush jungles to barren deserts and volcanic ashlands. This is accompanied by very discreet sound effects and a musical score that doesn't get annoying even in the long run. The whole game world is very welcoming and lovely, and it has no violence at all, which makes Afterloop a great choice for your kids as well.
And if you're a completionist, it is good to know that the game not only measures the time and number of pushes it takes to complete a level, but also offers statistics, and, since it has Google Play Games Services implemented, you can compare your scores with your friends or everyone else playing the game. There are no fewer than 23 achievements to unlock as well.

Verdict
It is good to know that gaming nowadays doesn't come down only to speed, fast-paced battles, action and violence. One can only rejoice when coming across a game like Afterloop. In many ways it is similar to The Path to Luma we've reviewed earlier, as there we also had a robot-like entity to control, puzzles to solve, and a magical world to explore.
Fortunately these are all positive similarities, and Afterloop adds a lots more to this. The puzzles somehow don't become repetitive and it's fun to go from level to level and see other robots get freed thanks to your skills. In terms of content, we can have no complaints: there are 300 levels that can be solved in four game modes, which adds up to a total of 1200 different experiences to go through. Combined with a vast and colorful world, a matching musical score and many other small, but very nice features like the undo, they make Afterloop a game that can easily become the favorite of anyone, no matter their age or political preference. Go ahead and push some boxes!
