Clash of Clans
By: Andy B.
Clash of Clans is a free combat-strategy game on both Android and iOS that was created by Supercell. In this game, each player has a base (a small town) that they need to defend and improve. In order to do so, players need to raid the goblins in single player missions or battle against other players’ bases to get gold, elixir, and dark elixir (the currencies in Clash of Clans). The objective of this game is either to upgrade all your buildings and troops using gold, elixir, and dark elixir, or try to get to the top two hundred players in the U.S. or the world.
At the start of the game, there is a short introduction and tutorial that teaches you generally how to play. It is overall self-explanatory and will teach you how to upgrade a building, buy a building, train troops, and raid other bases. After the tutorial, though, you are free to do what you want. You can build up your army, raid other people’s bases worldwide or complete the single player missions, and upgrade all your buildings, including your town hall.
One interesting and fun aspect of Clash of Clans is that there are, as the name says, “clans.” By rebuilding your clan castle for only forty thousand gold, you can join a clan (a group of people that you can donate to or talk to), and for forty thousand more, you can create your own clan. In a recent update to the game, they have made the concept of clans even more interesting. Now, there are clan wars, when one clan can declare war on another one, and battle each other. This game, while having many unique aspects that contribute to the gameplay, is simple and somewhat easy to understand.
However, one warning you should take note of before you should play this game is that it takes a lot of time. At first, upgrades may only take a few minutes, but when you advance further into the game, they can take up to two weeks. Along with this, there are a few minor bugs and flaws. Nevertheless, Clash of Clans is overall a good game to play if you have some free time, and should definitely be considered.
We all wish that we could meet a genie one day in our lives. Well, we have our own genie that we can read our minds. Akinator tries to guess a character based on how you answer the questions that he gives you. He can guess your favorite childhood characters to even your favorite youtubers. Akinator has been around for a long time, but it is always fun to try to be one of the few people to stump the master guesser. ~Rockie S.
App Review: Angry Birds By: Alexia H
This game got so boring since it is not popular anymore. They don’t do any more updates so that means no more new levels! Yet they’re still making games thinking that they will make more money. Turns out they are right but they don’t fool me. The games are completely the same! They are just different themes. Like I think the biggest mistake of angry birds was angry birds seasons because they already put a Christmas level pack on the original! To honest, I'm as angry as an angry bird!hahahaha
App Review: Magic Piano
By: Alexia H.
The app Magic Piano is a very cool game for those of you who don’t know how to play the piano. If you do know how to play the piano then it is also pretty cool. This app basically tells you where to press it. But it’s not exactly a grand piano like you see it. This has “spores” that tell you where to play. If you do know how to play the piano, you can play free style and you can choose to play on a normal format of a piano, a curvy yet still normal form, or the “spores” form. However this app does require internet connection for the first time playing. You can play ANYTHING on this game! You can even play “wake me up” by Avicii. Happy playing!
