\"\"<\/a>Akihabara is a district in Tokyo known for having lots of electronic shops.\u00a0 Akihabara: Feel the Rhythm is a puzzle game with music elements.\u00a0 It\u2019s available for download on iOS, Google Play, and PC, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

A row of different shapes falls from the top of the screen to the bottom, similar to other puzzlers like Tetris.\u00a0 A line also goes across the well from left to right.\u00a0 When you tap the screen, the shape nearest the line will change to the shape indicated at the top of the screen.\u00a0 Try to change the shapes so that when they hit the bottom, they\u2019ll match four adjacent same shapes and disappear.\u00a0 If you change a shape with each pass of the line, the point multiplier will go up by one, but it\u2019ll reset back to one if you let it go by without changing a shape.\u00a0 Also, you\u2019ll get a higher score if you tap to change shapes closer to the beat of the rhythm of the music playing in the background.\u00a0 Try to make to the end of the song without having shapes reach the top of the well.\u00a0 If you do, it\u2019s Game Over.<\/p>\n

You can continue limitlessly, but you\u2019ll receive a severe point reduction that gets higher the more you continue.\u00a0 There are two modes of play.\u00a0 In the campaign, you\u2019ll do all the songs right in a row, which can be hard and long to make it through since there are ten songs.\u00a0 You can also play each song separately that have been unlocked.\u00a0 You can change the difficulty so you have to match more or less shapes, but if you do put it on Easy, your scores won\u2019t be saved to the leaderboard.\u00a0 The only problems I had with this game is that the rules were very challenging and I don\u2019t think I ever truly got the hang of it, and the songs didn\u2019t really draw me in either.\u00a0 But if you like puzzle games with music elements like Lumines, you may want to check this one out, too.<\/p>\n

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

Reading skill is helpful for some of the text instructions, and younger gamers may get frustrated at the high challenge.\u00a0 Some may consider the game to have some mild suggestive themes, because the anime characters in the background sometimes wear slightly revealing outfits.\u00a0 But at least this game has no in-game purchases or ads that I could tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
