Gameplay
When I first found Roach Master on the app store, I didn’t think much of it. But seeing as it was under the “What We’re Playing” section I thought, if it’s good for Apple, it’s good for me. I had no idea what this game was going to be, I thought maybe it would be a game about a roach trying to get through a kitchen without being killed. But that’s not it at all. And I am so glad.
The best way to describe Roach Master is like Dumb Ways to Die, but 100% better. And harder. You start on the menu which feels a lot like a console game, and that gave me the instinct that this was going to be good. There’s a main game button, arcade corner, the lootboard, and heart buddies. The main game includes lots of mini-games that you need to complete within a time frame. You have 3 lives and the idea is to get to the end of the string of mini-games without losing them all. If there’s a particular mini-game you like, you can find them in the arcade corner.
Sort pairs of socks, fill up a kettle, find the missing fridge item, take the colored clothes out of the washing machine and so much more!
Graphics
As for the graphics, they’re definitely as of console-quality for its genre. The animations were really well done and each scene had an inanimate object that had its own personality.
Music & Sounds
Following on from the amazing graphics, the sounds are also brilliant and need to be on for the ultimate experience. Each inanimate object in the mini-games talks, along with the lives shouting “YOU ROCK” when you complete a level. I found this such a nice feature as with the vast majority of app games, you have to do a lot of reading.
Controls
The controls depend on each mini-game but generally, it’s a tap and drag kind of deal. You get told the controls a few seconds before the level starts, so it can become tricky to remember. However, that adds to the rush of being able to do it in the time limit.
