\"\"<\/a>One bad thing about mobile games is that you don\u2019t see very many super simple games on consoles anymore.\u00a0 Well now there is one with Switchy Road.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on mobile, but now it\u2019s also on the Switch (reviewed on Switch here).\u00a0 A geometric shape travels on an ever crumbling road, and you must press a button to change the shape so it fits into holes that appear up ahead.\u00a0 It reminds me of the \u2018put the square peg in hole\u2019 wooden game, or that \u201cHuman Tetris\u201d TV game show where people try to fit into holes in walls coming at them.<\/p>\n

When you pass a shape through the correct opening, you get a point.\u00a0 Once you run into the wrong hole, the game ends.\u00a0 You can choose three difficulty selections, and the harder levels get faster.\u00a0 The game saves your high scores for each difficulty mode, and you can toggle options and even change the background color when you play.<\/p>\n

I do like the simplicity of the game and the price is about right, too.\u00a0 But it feels like something that should\u2019ve been on a bigger collection, or maybe have more options like a two player mode and such.\u00a0 It really feels like a better fit for mobile, but if you want a simple game, you can\u2019t get more simpler than this!<\/p>\n

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

Nothing violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed and the game might be considered somewhat educational due to the shape recognition.\u00a0 Younger gamers might get bored, though.\u00a0 Switchy Road is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
