\"POP_BOX\"<\/a>Cristina Vee is a very popular voice actress, providing dialogue for many characters in anime and video games.\u00a0 And now she\u2019s in her own game!\u00a0 Help her catch falling objects in space as she switches from a cosmic idol singer to an anime magical girl in this downloadable game for iOS devices (reviewed on iPad here).<\/p>\n

So who is Cristina Vee anyway?\u00a0 Well, I was a good little journalist and actually did some research before writing this review.\u00a0 But it doesn\u2019t matter because you can just look her up on the Internet anyway.\u00a0 Turns out she\u2019s done voices in a ton of anime cartoons that I\u2019ve never even heard of.\u00a0 But then, I don\u2019t really watch a lot of anime.\u00a0 My expertise is gaming, and it looks like she\u2019s done quite a few voices for that medium, too.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see, there\u2019s Final Fantasy Type-0 and League of Legends, eh, never played those, myself.\u00a0 At least she voiced characters I know about in BlazBlue and Skullgirls.\u00a0 Oh here\u2019s a good one.\u00a0 She is also the voice of Shantae in Shantae and the Pirate\u2019s Curse and the upcoming Half-Genie Hero.\u00a0 I really like the Shantae games, so that\u2019s pretty neat.<\/p>\n

So in her own game, you move around a cartoon version of herself with your finger as she flies through space.\u00a0 All of the voices are done by her, of course, and even the background music is a song with her vocals.\u00a0 Anyway, if you tap on her, she\u2019ll change from a cosmic idol singer to an anime magical girl. Or in simpler terms, she\u2019ll change from blue to purple.\u00a0 You get points for nabbing falling objects in space, but here\u2019s the catch.\u00a0 They have to be the same color that she is.\u00a0 It kind of reminds me of the gameplay mechanic in Treasure\u2019s classic shooter Ikaruga.<\/p>\n

If you touch an object that isn\u2019t her color, she\u2019ll glitch out and you\u2019ll lose a life balloon.\u00a0 Be on the lookout for falling life balloons to refill your health.\u00a0 If you lose all your balloons, it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 You can save your highest score and try to beat it, but that\u2019s about all there is to the game.\u00a0 I have to say that the price point is a teeny bit high for such a simple game, and it can sometimes be hard to tell the blues from the purples.\u00a0 But if you\u2019re a big fan of Christina Vee or classic WayForward style art, you might as well download it anyway.\u00a0 Support the things you like, you know?\u00a0 As for me, I\u2019ll just sit here and be jealous that I don\u2019t have MY own game starring me!\u00a0 Ha ha!<\/p>\n

\"POP_SCREEN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing violent here.\u00a0 If you hit the wrong colored objects, your character just \u2018glitches out\u2019 and when you run out of energy, she just kind of \u2018poofs\u2019 away in a harmless implosion.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the instructions at the beginning, but the game is pretty easy to figure out just by playing anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
