Marble Viola's Quest vs Tomb Raider: Underworld
Marble Viola's Quest
Marble Viola's Quest is a casual marble shooter game that puts you in the shoes of Viola, who sets off on a quest to stop the evil Desmond the weasel from stealing all the magic from the marbles. This game features the usual gameplay of aiming and shooting marbles to make matches of 3 or more marbles of the same color. You can tap on the shooter to switch marbles, and there are the usual power-ups that will randomly appear (though they vanish fairly quickly) where you can collect to trigger the chain reverse, stop, or slowed-down effect.Interestingly, this game provides you with a number of additional aid in the form of fireflies, dynamites or even special Chakra-infused marbles that can blast away bothersome marbles. These helpful features will definitely come in handy because well, the game does have some pretty challenging level goals and obstacles.
What I really like about this game though is definitely the boss fights. It may not be unique but it’s still truly intense as you try to make a gap wide enough for you to shoot a marble through to hit Desmond the weasel. You’ll also gradually need to make more hits for Desmond to go away, so there’s your challenge, right there!
Marble Viola's Quest is definitely one of those rare, fun yet challenging marble shooters that may rival iconic games like Zuma. The game's completely free to play and it is available on Google Play.
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Tomb Raider: Underworld is a rather unique iteration of the age-old favorite action-adventure series featuring the fearless adventurer, Lara Croft. The game retained the franchise's love for intriguing puzzles and yet, it provided a ton of improvements in terms of adding in a dual-target system, non-linear puzzles (puzzles with multiple solutions), new abilities and tools, as well as a cool all-terrain hybrid motorbike.At the time of writing, Tomb Raider: Underworld would be celebrating its 10th anniversary next year, and as such, the game's graphics isn't exactly up to today's standards. The gameplay may feel rather clunky to some as well. However, if you really want to experience a more recent Tomb Raider that stayed true to the old puzzle-heavy format, this is the game to play.
