Maybe you\u2019ve seen ads for games that look <em>very <\/em>similar. That makes sense, seeing as <em>Spiral Roll<\/em> isn\u2019t exactly an <em>original <\/em>concept. However the fun of this mobile game, and others like it, cannot be denied. <em>Spiral Roll<\/em> follows a simple premise: logs form a track along the screen, and as they come, the player must use a wood-shaving tool to create a large spiral. The bigger the spiral, the more points you\u2019ll receive. The catch is that each spiral can be interrupted by obstacles along the path, such as tree branches above and blocks or gaps below. Creating multiple spirals in a row makes for a beautiful display of the game\u2019s physics engine, and adds to the chaos onscreen. At the end of every level, one giant spiral must be created in a skillful way in order to hit the highest amount of points written on the ground. This adds some depth to the game\u2019s rather mundane gameplay and shakes up each level. If the spiral is too small, it might not get far enough to reach the highest points, but if it\u2019s too big, it could fly <em>too <\/em>far and miss the points completely. I highly recommend giving this little time-waster a try next time it scrolls through your feed. Or should I say&#8230; next time it <em>rolls<\/em> through your feed. Moving on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"16093\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16093\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?fit=4032%2C3024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone XR&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1586289318&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.25&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01123595505618&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_2024-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?fit=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_2024-2.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Zoom, Jackbox Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><em>Zoom<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you really expect me to write a column about mobile apps in 2020 and <em>not <\/em>include <em>Zoom<\/em>?

But I mention <em>Zoom <\/em>here because it\u2019s helped me personally in a way I never thought possible: playing video games with my family. You see, my aunt and uncle live a few towns over and they\u2019ve isolated themselves pretty heavily due to health reasons. So my family of four decided to get together with them via <em>Zoom<\/em>, screen share <em>Jackbox <\/em>through it, and play together every week! It\u2019s been an absolute blast, being able to interact with them in a new, exciting way. <em>Zoom <\/em>has given us the ability to have fun in quarantine, and stay connected with our loved ones (not to mention <em>Jackbox <\/em>has had a huge sale going on, which has given us a lot of games to play!) I\u2019m so thankful for services like <em>Zoom <\/em>that keep people playing, talking, and getting through this together. I hope all of you have been staying safe and healthy out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1624\" data-attachment-id=\"16094\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16094\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1982.png?fit=750%2C1624&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,1624\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_1982\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1982.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1982.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"16094\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1982.png?fit=750%2C1624&amp;ssl=1\" data-link=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16094\" class=\"wp-image-16094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1982.png?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1982.png?resize=139%2C300&amp;ssl=1 139w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1982.png?resize=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 473w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1982.png?resize=709%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 709w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1624\" data-attachment-id=\"16095\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16095\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1990.png?fit=750%2C1624&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,1624\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_1990\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1990.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1990.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"16095\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1990.png?fit=750%2C1624&amp;ssl=1\" data-link=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16095\" class=\"wp-image-16095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1990.png?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1990.png?resize=139%2C300&amp;ssl=1 139w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1990.png?resize=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 473w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1990.png?resize=709%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 709w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Credit: Nintendo Co., Ltd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><em>Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After falling in love with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/2020\/04\/07\/co-op-review-animal-crossing-new-horizons\/\">New Horizons<\/a><\/em> this month, my girlfriend got me to reluctantly take a chance on <em>Pocket Camp<\/em>. I say reluctantly because I\u2019d been avoiding this game from the get-go. It just didn\u2019t seem to have the true <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> feel I\u2019ve loved for so many years; more like a slap in the face from Nintendo. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by <em>Pocket Camp\u2019<\/em>s sense of direction. It feels different than the mainline games, that\u2019s for sure. I liken it to how <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Odyssey<\/em> didn\u2019t exactly <em>feel <\/em>like <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em>, though it included some of the original characters and plot devices. It works great on its own, and the game is very good, but it doesn\u2019t <em>need <\/em>the \u201c<em>Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em>\u201d moniker. Now going back to <em>Pocket Camp<\/em>, that way of thinking is very similar. For fans of the franchise, you\u2019ve got a lot of your favorite villagers here. Isabelle is back, Gulliver and Tom Nook are back, even Goldie and Bluebear for you crazed villager-hunters. But the gist is different this time around, as instead of working on a town and watching it grow, you\u2019re tasked with establishing a campsite and making villagers happy enough to visit you. Giving them fruits and fish will raise your friendship level, and once you\u2019ve got a lot of buddies, well, nothing beats watching them tap dance around in your campsite. Throw all that in with some new faces like Giovanni, Carlo, and Beppe, and the ability to plant your own garden with an idle metagame? <em>Pocket Camp<\/em> may just be the mobile <em>Animal Crossing <\/em>we didn\u2019t know we wanted so badly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1624\" data-attachment-id=\"16096\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16096\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4263.png?fit=750%2C1624&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,1624\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_4263\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4263.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4263.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"16096\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4263.png?fit=750%2C1624&amp;ssl=1\" data-link=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16096\" class=\"wp-image-16096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4263.png?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4263.png?resize=139%2C300&amp;ssl=1 139w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4263.png?resize=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 473w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4263.png?resize=709%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 709w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1624\" data-attachment-id=\"16097\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16097\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4264.png?fit=750%2C1624&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,1624\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_4264\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4264.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4264.png?fit=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"16097\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4264.png?fit=750%2C1624&amp;ssl=1\" data-link=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16097\" class=\"wp-image-16097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4264.png?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4264.png?resize=139%2C300&amp;ssl=1 139w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4264.png?resize=473%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 473w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4264.png?resize=709%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 709w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Credit: Quibi Holdings, LLC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><em>Quibi<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahh, <em>Quibi<\/em>. What can be said about this fun service that hasn\u2019t been said already in <a href=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/2020\/04\/25\/why-you-should-be-using-quibi\/\">my article about it<\/a>? Shameless plug. But really, this streaming platform is so fascinating that I went and wrote a whole piece about its allure. If you\u2019re new to the site and my work, let me tell you a bit about <em>Quibi<\/em>. Created in April by Jeffrey Katzenberg of DreamWorks fame, this mobile app brings viewers original content in the form of \u201cquick bites.\u201d These episodes come daily and last no longer than 10 minutes each, delivering cinematic experiences in short bursts. I instantly fell in love with <em>Quibi <\/em>after seeing ads for a new show starring Liam Hemsworth and Christoph Waltz. This show, <em>Most Dangerous Game<\/em>, quickly became a mini addiction, and I waited with bated breath for each daily release. What I love most about <em>Quibi <\/em>is its ability to provide a cliffhanger every time,&nbsp; forcing me to come back for more on the regular. It\u2019s smart, it\u2019s full of diverse content, and I\u2019ve had a ton of fun with it all month long. Unfortunately, Quibi\u2019s reception hasn\u2019t been so hot according to the media, with a lot of people calling it an \u201cinstant bomb,\u201d and Katzenberg blaming the Coronavirus for its lack of viewers. Personally, I think a quarantine would make for more users of a mobile application, but what do I know about technology and human nature? I\u2019ll just be over here watching more TMZ if you need me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1624\" height=\"750\" data-attachment-id=\"16099\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16099\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?fit=1624%2C750&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1624,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_4262\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?fit=1024%2C473&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?fit=750%2C346&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"16099\" data-link=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16099\" class=\"wp-image-16099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?w=1624&amp;ssl=1 1624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?resize=300%2C139&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?resize=1024%2C473&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?resize=768%2C355&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?resize=1536%2C709&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4262.png?resize=1200%2C554&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1624\" height=\"750\" data-attachment-id=\"16100\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16100\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?fit=1624%2C750&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1624,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_4258\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?fit=1024%2C473&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?fit=750%2C346&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"16100\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?fit=1624%2C750&amp;ssl=1\" data-link=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/?attachment_id=16100\" class=\"wp-image-16100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?w=1624&amp;ssl=1 1624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?resize=300%2C139&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?resize=1024%2C473&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?resize=768%2C355&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?resize=1536%2C709&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4258.png?resize=1200%2C554&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Credit: Wonderbelly Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><em>Roundguard<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our very own Allan Muir suggested <em>Roundguard <\/em>to me upon its release. I finally got around to playing it for this month&#8217;s recAPP, and after some deliberation, I must say I&#8217;ve come away from it quite satisfied. <em>Roundguard <\/em>is a bit of a slow burn at first, and its true purpose isn&#8217;t immediately clear. What looks like a <em>Peggle <\/em>clone at first glance becomes &#8211; over time &#8211; a genuine roguelike experience that&#8217;s just as refreshing as it is unexpected. You begin your journey by selecting one of three classes: Warrior, Rogue, or Wizard. Each class has its own special power. For example, the Warrior can smash through pots with a tap of the screen&#8217;s left side, while the Rogue can double jump, essentially making herself a boomerang for an extra move. These special powers can be swapped out and upgraded, and they cost mana to use. Mana, as well as health, must be picked up along the path of each stage, appearing in the form of\u2026 let&#8217;s call them &#8220;pegs&#8221; for you <em>Peggle <\/em>fans out there. As you move through each dungeon, you&#8217;re given various choices in armor, skills, and weaponry to make your hero stronger. By following the procedurally-generated map, you can collect more treasure and higher-level equipment, depending on the paths you take and the battles you choose to fight. This all culminates in a final battle, where not only your skills are tested, but your ability to hold your own against dwindling health, mana, and various status effects. <em>Roundguard <\/em>delivers a fairly in-depth RPG experience, with fun on-the-fly customization and a story full of humorous characters. I must admit I was initially turned off by its lackluster appearance and redundant gameplay. However, after finally dying, losing all of my collected skills, and starting anew with only the personal lessons I&#8217;d learned, I found this Apple Arcade title to be a challenging breath of fresh air that flips the <em>Peggle <\/em>formula on its head in an unforgettably amusing way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like that, April&#8217;s in the books! We&#8217;re back to the old ways, showing off some free goodies and showcasing some premium exclusives. I hope you&#8217;ve learned about some fun apps to check out in isolation. I also hope you&#8217;re all being safe and healthy and not making choices you&#8217;ll regret because I want you guys back here next month! Trust me, you won&#8217;t want to miss this.
