Flame in the Flood vs Smash Hit
Flame in the Flood
Flame in the Flood is a rather unique survival game that's developed by the ex-developers of Bioshock. Instead of featuring an open world, the game places you on a rickety raft, which you can then upgrade as you gather the necessary materials, that's being dragged down a long windy river. The waters aren't always smooth and easily navigatable as you might expect and from time to time, particularly in between "zones", you'll encounter a stretch of whitewater rapids that will truly challenge your rafting skills.In this game, you will also encounter locations where you can dock your raft at and explore. From churches to farms, each location offers varying amount of resources for you to gather, and if you're lucky, a place for you to take shelter for the night. These locations aren't all safe though! Aside from the more harmless wildlife like rabbits, you may encounter dangerous animals that can cause severe harm to your character - you may even die either from being gored by a wild boar or from injuries sustained from the fight.
As a survival game, there are several indicators that you'll need to keep your eyes on. Fail to do so and you may die of exhaustion, thirst, hunger or hypothermia. The game also features a pretty in-depth crafting system where you can produce useful items like bandages for your wounds and clothes to keep your character warm.
Flame in the Flood is a truly hardcore survival game. It's merciless in its gameplay, pitting you against challenges after challenges until your character can take no more. If you get frustrated easily, this is definitely not for you, but if you love a challenge, you might just want to give this game a try.
Smash Hit
Smash Hit is a unique and yet entertaining arcade-like game. You will be travelling through an otherworldly dimension where you'll need to break as many glass objects as you can with what seems to be steel ball bearings. The most interesting part about this game though is that everything in the game is intricately linked to the music played in the background as you play. So, this also means that if you happen on a stage where the tune is a lot quicker, you can definitely expect the obstacles to move a lot faster (and hence, harder to aim) too.Bringing its players the stress-release that comes with smashing fragile stuff, Smash Hit is indeed a smash hit on the mobile platform as it has racked up over 100 million downloads over the years. The game is even adapted for the Oculus virtual reality platform (check out Smash Hit VR).
