Web Game Review: Sveerz
Just to change the tone of my entries and the monotony of my Facebook addiction, I'll be reviewing a couple of casual web games here... Well, Lee's been bugging me to do it, too.
I discovered Sveerz at miniclip.com and found it highly entertaining. An out of this world rhythm-based puzzle game that beats your average brick game any day, Sveerz's music makes it mouse-tappingly fun to play! The objective is to eliminate the little coloured Sveerz by listening to the Oversveerz's tone and colour commands. Every command can range from one to five colours. It's simple at first, but will get trickier the higher levels you play when the Sveerz appear in random puzzle positions.
Each Sveerzs are like little 3D pacmen, but with personalities. Click on the wrong one and watch him sneer at you until you make him eventually disappear!
For game play, you have a choice of Arcade, Memory, Puzzle and Rhythm modes. You can only play Arcade mode at miniclip or any website that has it, while you need to download and purchase the full version at USD$19.90 to play the other modes. Great game to play over and over again, but I personally am a bit of a stinge' when it comes to parting with USD.
I've played Sveerz online on numerous occasions and found that the 10 levels you get to play are never the same. So I guess that's one consolation of not being able to play the full version. Besides that, I don't even mind letting my browser run with the game in the background because the beats are so cool! Heheh...
Apple has a games trailer you can check out over here. While if you love Sveerz, you can check out more at the game developer's site, SkunkStudios.
And no, this isn't paid a advertorial review.
Without trying to wax lyrical about a film I worked on, I will say that from the two screenings I'd attended, I initially found the film's story somewhat cluttered and too crammed. Only because I couldn't help noting what scenes were cut, which sub-plots had to be sacrificed and how it was edited to eventually convey or introduce characters. I was told that the first cut was four hours long! Quite an epic-wannabe hey? Heheh... But what you'll be viewing in the cinemas is 150 minutes.

Once outside, came my misadventure trying to find my way back to the KLIA main building. There weren't any signs telling me where to take the shuttle bus. But I saw computer printed "posters" saying that the shuttles were at the "kerbside"... Right, but there weren't even indicators telling me where the "kerbside" was! I thought it would be obvious seeing the busses outside. But I didn't know which was the one. So I asked an AirAsia personnel hanging outside, and he pointed me to the green Airport Liner bus saying it was free.
