Become A Nightmare In Terrific 'Terra Noctis'

Reviews

FireFruitForge and Bulky Pix distributed an app this past December called Terra Noctis, available in the App Store and worth every penny you pay. The storyline follows a small nightmare named Allen who, upon being deemed "too cute" in Nightmare School, invades the Dreamverse in hope of becoming the scariest monster of all. Allen resembles a ghost in form with big yellow goggle-like eyes and a purplish color.  He can run, duck, jump, double jump, ground pound, and even throw electrified orbs at enemies.  The controls are relatively simple laid out on the screen through nearly invisible buttons on the bottom of the screen.  On the left side of the screen are your left and right buttons and on the right side of the screen are the jump and duck options.  In order to double jump, you can tap the jump button twice. A ground pound combines both the jump and duck buttons.  Ground pounds are helpful when trying to break through bricks to access lower portions of the level.

The game opens with an introduction to Allen in school with a drab color scheme and a soundtrack that is very dreamy. That is where you being your journey and are then presented to the worlds which consist of Green Steppe, Rusty Fields, and Weeping Woods, among others. The first level you enter is in Green Steppe and it is a training level with helpful hints in the form of sign posts along the way.  Each level has the same objectives in addition to collecting as many blue fairies as possible.  As you find out later, blue varies can be used to purchase perks and items in the store (available after you complete your first level).  Perks include being able to run faster, jump higher, and fly, among others...sounds sort of like Superman in ghost form, don't you think? The objectives will help you earn a 100% completion per level, and there are a few of them to keep you from getting bored of collecting blue fairies or jumping on enemies.  You need to collect all 15 red fairies to open further levels, find all of the S-C-A-R-E letters scattered throughout, and find the Golden Glory coin in order to unlock bonus stages.  These objectives, combined with a nifty electronic soundtrack, make the game very enjoyable. Become A Nightmare In Terrific 'Terra Noctis' Although the graphics aren't three dimensional, the attention to detail in the levels is quite phenomenal.  There are mushroom trampolines, invisible platforms, vines, blocks, and ammo recharge spots (which resemble warp pads), among other items.  Furthermore, there are miniature signs with arrows on them that point you in the direction of the finish line, which is in the form of a flagpole.  Upon level completion, you are given your statistics and total point score for that level. A minor complaint about the game would be that the left and right buttons are not big enough and are too close together, making it difficult to move while jumping if you need to be precise about the landing.  Furthermore, the 'shoot' option for Allen is a joystick that can be activated by touching anywhere on the upper half of the screen; it can be sensitive and tough to aim in certain situations. The game has an abundance of wonderful features, but not enough where you will become confused. Become A Nightmare In Terrific 'Terra Noctis' Terra Noctis is a fun and challenging game app with a great storyline. Definitely worth checking out. Read more reviews by clicking here.
