Mobile game recommendation: Mario Kart Tour

I recently found out about the mobile game Mario Kart Tour, based on Mario Kart. It is available on iOS and Android.

System requirements:

Android:

  • Android 4.4 KitKat or later.
  • At least an ARMv7 CPU.

iOS:

  • iOS 10 or later.
  • iPhone 5S, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, iPod Touch 6th generation or later.

Why the game refuses to install on the iPhone 5, 5C, and iPad 4 on iOS 10 is unknown, but it’s possibly for performance reasons. I doubt the game would run all that well on Android devices that stopped at KitKat, but it is worth trying out just to see how well it really runs.

The game isn’t too different to classic Mario Kart. It forces your device into portrait mode for some reason and I doubt it supports a controller yet, but Nintendo may support landscape and controllers in the future.

As the game progresses, you earn new characters. I managed to get first on my first race, although it will probably get harder as the game progresses.

Once I’ve played for a little longer I’m going to write a full review of it on here. But for now, I am just recommending it and I think most people will enjoy it, especially if you liked classic Super Mario.

Enjoy!

Slope

Hello everybody.

A few months ago, I found a video game called Slope, which can be found at Y8.com. The game is where you have to move your ball around and jump from wall to wall without falling off. My best score ever was around 130, and you should concentrate on the game if you want to get a great score.

The game is found at y8.com/games/slope.

Enjoy!

80 Followers + Wormax.io

Hello everyone! Recently, I stumbled upon a game you can play in your browser called Wormax.io. It is similar to slither.io but the snakes are replaced with worms and they look different. Here is a screenshot of my worm growing large in it!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this game I found!

XRacer on Y8

Anyways, I was looking for fun games to play and I found this cool game called XRacer.

Basically, you have a spaceship and have to avoid the obstacles and get as far as possible. If you go through a red ring, your spaceship gets slower, if you go through a green ring your spaceship gets faster, and when you pass through a blue ring you get extra points.

The obstactles get harder as you continue playing. I recently reached a high score of 9224m, my best score as of now, and that is a very hard score to achieve.

Play the game at http://www.y8.com/games/xracer

Enjoy!

Minecraft Story Mode – Would you rather?

Hello guys! Yesterday I downloaded the new Minecraft Story Mode episode and I played through it. When I came to the weapon room, I got a Would you Rather? question. Would you choose an iron sword with sharpness enchantments on it, or a diamond sword without. I went for the iron sword as it was probably just as strong. What would you choose? Share your choice in the comments section below!

THERE IS A SECRET LEVEL IN SONIC MANIA!!!!!!!!

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS ABOUT THE GAME, SONIC MANIA. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Hello Everyone! Obviously you know this, but I am EpicChasGamer and as some of you know, I got Sonic Mania yesterday and I managed to resize the window. But I am here today to talk to you about a secret level (spoilers included) found in Chemical Plant Zone’s Act 2. You fall into a seat and there is a game of tetris beneath you, which you can play using the joysticks on your controller. You play against Dr. Robotnik, and I realised something about this secret level.

IT IS DR. ROBOTNIKS MEAN BEAN MACHINE!!!! Yes, Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine is a video game where you play tetris against Dr. Robotnik. This was a hidden level only a few of you guys may of noticed, and even if you noticed it, not everyone would of realised that it is Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine.

Thanks for reading!

Sonic Mania – make window fullscreen

Some gamers may see that on their laptops Sonic Mania is in a small window and they cannot resize or expand it. But it is possible to turn it fullscreen within the game settings. To do this, start up the game.

Then use your controller or keyboard to navigate to options. To play any platform Sonic game I would recommend a console controller.

Click on video once in options. Change Window Size to x2, and turn fullscreen on using the joystick on your controller or the arrows on your keyboard. Click on Y to apply the settings (confirm it and all that)

Now try playing Sonic Mania. Because of a bug, it may require you to confirm a few times but once you have confirmed it is recommended you close and open Sonic Mania again, but there you should have it. If you are encountering issues, comment down below. I should get back to you.

I hope it is working for you, and if it is not, remember to leave feedback!

A TIME-PASSING GAME?

Here is a recommendation Red Button gave me called slither.io. You can download it as an app or play online at slither.io.

Safety Features:

There is no chat. You play against people across the globe but you cannot chat, even if you want to.

It is suitable for all ages.

The game requires you to use your mouse or finger to move your snake across the screen, collecting glowing orbs and trying to make other snakes crash into you, but if you crash into a snake then you die. You play with a nickname and not your real name, which makes it safe and it is very fun altogether.

I would recommend playing it first online at slither.io to try it out. If you like it, then download the app.

Become a Pro in Minecraft – a guide

1. Change your skin

Your skin is how your character looks. Get skins from minecraftskins.com or create your own using the minecraftskins.com editor or another editor like MCSkin3D. Links may change content at any time.

2. Start playing

There are lots of tutorials out there on YouTube!

3. Start mining.

Craft a pickaxe:

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pickaxe (links may change content at any time, remember!)

Mine some stone by mining underground. Dig a 2×1 hole and don’t mine straight down. Thank you guys!

Once you find some stone, use the link above (the minecraft.gamepedia.com one) to craft a stone pickaxe. Continue mining until you find a cave.

3. Explore a cave

Once you bump into a cave (you may not, if so then go and mine somewhere else or find a naturally generated cave and go exploring there) move around the cave and look for ore.

Coal ore has black coal in it and can be harvested using a wooden pickaxe. Iron (a peach colour) needs a stone, gold (yellow) and diamond (blue) require an iron Pickaxe to mine. Diamond is only found near the bottom of the world. If you are in a hills biome, you may find Emerald. In any biome, you may find redstone. Emerald needs an iron pickaxe and so does redstone.

4. Get back up to the surface

Mine a staircase back to the surface and make a crafting table if you don’t already have one (wood planks filling up the crafting grid) and make a sword (https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Sword) and a pickaxe. You are now a half-pro. Well done!

PART 2 COMING SOON.
