AndroidTapp.com Android Game Review:

Features:

Cestos Android Game is an awesome multi-player game by Chicken Brick Studios. One of the best aspects is the games huge online player network with the ability to play 2-4 players at once. Cestos features a chat room (which very much remind me of Yahoo chat rooms when they first debuted). You can customize your character avatar as you win more games.

To be honest, without reading the instructions… initially knowing how to play the game is not intuitive. The object of the game is to knock all your opponents’ marbles into space via an open pit. To do so, touch your marble and drag in the direction you want your marble to shoot. When dragging, a directional arrow will appear; the longer you stretch it the more velocity your shot has. Each player is given a small timer to prepare their attacks. Meanwhile, every time you move your marble(s) a land mine is left in its place. Be cautioned as land mines can ricochet your marble in sporadic directions if you hit them… possibly knocking them into space. Be the last opponent standing to win the match.

Use a combination of playing styles to win the battle; aggressive attacks, passive corner retreats, no movement at all, or defensive setups.

Cestos Maps and Players

Black Hole

2 Players. This is the map that started it all. Push your opponents into the giant pit in the middle before they do the same to you!

Stoplight

3 Players. There are multiple pits that open and close the lights below them indicate which pits will open next!

Minefield

4 Players. No pits here. You’re rolling solid ground! However, hitting 5 mines will destroy a marble.

Speedball

2 Players. Looking for faster paced action? Look no further! With double the speed, the quicker feel of beta is brought back.

Fun Factor & Addictive:

The thrill of trying to see how many maps/levels you can conquer make it fun, the social online community playing aspect of it makes it addictive.

Graphics:

Cestos Android Game features flat 2D vector graphics.

Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:

There is only vibration on attacks and mine explosions (sound effects would be nice).
