right side of the screen to move your dot to the left.\u00a0 You must do this to avoid obstacles and try to keep your dot from being hit.\u00a0 Sometimes you must tap on objects to clear them away from your dot\u2019s side as well.\u00a0 And that\u2019s all there really is to it.\u00a0 It\u2019s available to download on mobile devices and PC free to start, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few gameplay modes in Somos.\u00a0 There is a campaign mode where you must complete stages.\u00a0 Each time you tap on an object you get a point and must reach a certain number of points to reach the next stage.\u00a0 If you get hit you lose tons of points and a life, and if you lose all your lives you must start the stage over again.\u00a0 There is also a Challenges mode but it looks just like the campaign mode. \u00a0There also an endless mode where you can keep playing, and if you buy the full game you get a relaxation mode as well.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem I had with the game is that it was just too hard.\u00a0 So much stuff can happen on each side of the screen that it was hard to keep track of, and it didn\u2019t help that I would get confused which side of the screen to tap to move the dot.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t even get past stage one!\u00a0 But if you need an easy to learn yet hard to master game in your life, I guess Somos would fit the bill.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/somos_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18507\"
