When Apple chooses a featured app He is not usually wrong, and in the case of The Mesh he has not. We are facing one of the most interesting games of recent times for something very simple: it combines in the same product a very successful aesthetic with addictive gameplay, which usually ensures good reviews and almost guaranteed success.
Simple playability
The operation of the game is simple: we must add or subtract tiles to get to the number indicated by the game. Those of the same color add up and those of the opposite color subtract (if you double click on the tile, the color changes), all this complicated little by little with special tiles to multiply or divide, and without forgetting that two identical tiles disappear, something very important now that another objective is to leave the board empty.
If we do not leave the board clean we will see that in the next level they will be subtracted from our total count of available chips, which will obviously make it much more difficult to overcome the level. So you have to be very careful not to go full throttle adding and subtractingInstead, we must plan the levels little by little to reach the best possible solution in order to achieve a long game.
Another interesting point of the game is in the levels in dark. Basically we have the black screen and each time we press the screen it will light up, but it will count down with the remaining seconds of light. So at these levels memory and mental speed become key to solving the puzzle.
Chinese inspiration
The original and curious touch of the game is put by the ancient chinese zodiac, since the developers of The Mesh have recreated twelve animals that are what we must get to finish the game, which also concludes when we reach 200 points, something on the other hand very complicated.
It should be noted that the level of attention to detail he is very tall, taking care of each element of the game to the maximum. Perhaps the animations when playing are too exaggerated and it would be nice if they were smoother, but it is something that one gets used to without problem.
As for the price, it seems more than fair. 1,99 Euros for a game without additional purchases, well thought out, correctly executed and with an aesthetic that meets perfectly. If you like mental skill games right now is the game of the moment.
