60 Seconds Burger Run vs Vaporum: Lockdown
60 Seconds Burger Run
60 Seconds Burger Run is a browser-based puzzle-platformer where the player will have 60 seconds to run through the maze and reach the burger stand, which happens to be closing, for your burger fix. The game's unique partly because of its somewhat humorous parody of a burger-craving person, but also partly because of its special multi-level puzzles. There is an array of short mazes that you'll need to get through in order to reach the bus stand which will bring to you to the next part of the maze. You'll only reach the burger shop after you've completed a series of these shorter mazes. As you might expect, there are many challenges in your way, including dangerous spikes and breakable bricks, so having great reflexes and a good eye, to find alternative routes, are very important in this game.Like many games before it, 60 Seconds Burger Run may possibly be the next breakout game to make the jump from being simply a "Flash game" into something that's so much more. So, if you enjoy puzzle-platformers, you simply must try 60 Seconds Burger Run. It's free after all!
Vaporum: Lockdown
Vaporum: Lockdown is a first-person, dungeon crawler featuring old-school grid-based dungeon-crawling gameplay with real-time combat, fun Sokoban-like puzzles, cool steampunk-themed setting, and an intriguing mystery to uncover. In this game, you play as a scientist, Ellie, who’s trapped within a locked-down facility called the Arx Vaporum filled with murderous robots and mutated creatures. Will Ellie be able to escape the place in one piece? What will she discover as she makes her way through Arx Vaporum?In terms of gameplay, you’ll be moving Ellie, the protagonist of the story, one grid at a time. Turning to face a certain direction before you can say turn a corner also requires an extra tap of the keyboard. However, this also means that you can actually move like a crab in this game if you’re sure of the path you’re on. Like most dungeon crawlers, Vaporum: Lockdown comes with devious traps, enemies and puzzles. Traps in this game can be rather easily avoided as long as you got the timing down right.
The interesting part about this game is that combat plays out in real-time here, unlike any other old-school dungeon crawlers we have experienced before. This means that it is entirely possible to loop a sequence of “move and attack” when facing something stationary so you can avoid getting hit at all. However, this also means that more mobile enemies can be trickier to slay – it all boils down to timing really.
There are also fun Sokoban-like puzzles in this game. Most of them involve having you to move crates around to fill holes in the ground, block danger from the path you want to take, or even to serve as paperweights on metal pressure plates. For hardcore treasure seekers, the game even has several hidden compartments that an inquisitive explorer might be able to find, each of these alcoves usually come with some nice rewards. There is a sufficient variety of loot, and you can get better gear as you progress.
Being a prequel of the highly-successful Vaporum, Vaporum: Lockdown definitely does the original game, and the Vaporum universe as a while, proud. Besides the few new features here and there, the gameplay is generally similar to the original title and hence, would be instantly familiar to fans of Vaporum. The storytelling here is great as well, offering so much more lore than before, and of course, the fantastic atmosphere here will pull you right into the fumium-obsessed world that Ellie Teller lives in.
