Tiltagon is a challenging arcade game for your Windows Phone where you have to balance a ball on a hexagon platform, collect cubes to generate more platforms and travel across as many platforms as possible before you fall into oblivion (and you will fall).
The official gaming title for the Windows Phone game is "Tiltagon - Tilt. Fall. Repeat.", which accurately describes game play. Available for low-memory Windows Phones, Tiltagon is a fun option to consider for the times you only have a few minutes to pass. There is also a slight addictive pull that helps the game fill longer gaming spells as well.
Your main menu with Tiltagon offers up a hamburger menu (and it looks good) to access gaming options and credits, as well as options to jump into game play. There are two difficulty modes with Tiltagon, hard and hard+. To switch difficulties, just swipe to the left to move to the harder level (if you dare).
Playing Tiltagon is simple. You use the tilt sensors of your Windows Phone to move your ball around the game screen. You start the game with your ball balancing safely on a hexagon platform. There is another hexagon adjacent to the starting point with a cube resting on it.
You will need to roll your ball across to the hexagon with the cube and collect it. When you do, another hexagon will pop-up with another cube rolling around on it. Repeat the steps until your ball falls off a platform.
Sound simple? Well to make matters difficult, there are mini-hexagons spinning around the platforms and other moving dangers that are dead set on pushing your ball off the platform, ending the game. You also have hexagon's that slope and those that have holes in them. In a nutshell, the game presents you with a rather hostile environment to navigate around.
Oh and for those with a sadistic streak, the hard+ difficulty level prohibits you from making contact with the little hexagons that spin around the platform. The slightest of contact will cause your ball to explode.
Each platform represents one point and as you might guess, you want to score as many points before your ball plummets to its fate. The game is a tough nut to crack and do not be shocked if your score stays in the single digits for a while.
Overall Impression
Tiltagon - Tilt. Fall. Repeat. isn't an overly difficult game to pick up and play but might drive you nuts as you try to master it. The minimalistic graphics look good, the game challenge is obvious and there is an addictive quality to the game. It is as if the game is daring you to play the game one more time.
The only glitch I ran across is that every now and then, Tiltagon would crash on startup. Nothing to cause you to run screaming from the room but noticeable.
Tiltagon is a free, ad-supported gaming title. You can remove the ads with a $1.99 in-app purchase. It is a fun, difficult, challenging game well worth trying. At last check, with only a few reviews in place, the game is pulling down a 5 star rating in the Windows Phone Store, which we see as being in the right neighborhood for Tiltagon.
