\"\"<\/a>A little girl is playing with a pachinko machine in her room.\u00a0 Pachinko is kind of like pinball, except you shoot marbles to the top of a field full of notches, and the marbles roll down and you hope they land in spaces that give you points.\u00a0 Not sure why she has one in her room, but when she runs out of marbles, she reaches on a high shelf for a bowl with more marbles so she can keep playing.\u00a0 But when the bowl spills and the marbles roll around amongst her other toys, the girl uses her imagination (presumably), and plays mini-games related to her toys to get her marbles back.\u00a0 Either that or she lost her marbles both literally and figuratively.\u00a0 Anyway, Pureya is a mini-game collection where you play a series of ten second games to earn marbles, then you use those marbles in the pachinko machine to unlock more games and other goodies.\u00a0 It\u2019s available to download on PC and mobile devices, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

When you start, you\u2019ll play a series of mini-games for about ten seconds each, and you\u2019ll play around ten of those games at a time.\u00a0 You\u2019ll use arrows on the touch screen to move your character left and right, so controls are very simple.\u00a0 You\u2019ll do things in these games like steer a bouncing ball around cacti, help a squid swim around urchins, steer a toy car to hit soccer balls into a goal, move a spaceship left and right to shoot asteroids, etc.\u00a0 In these games you\u2019ll have the opportunity to grab marbles.\u00a0 If you can go for a long time without getting hit, the difficulty will increase.\u00a0 But if you get hit too many times, the difficulty will decrease.\u00a0 Generally the higher difficulties will give you more opportunities to collect marbles.\u00a0 After you finish the games, you\u2019ll use the marbles you collect to play the pachinko machine to win goodies.<\/p>\n

Launch marbles into the pachinko machine by pressing the left and right arrows like in the mini-games.\u00a0 If you can get the balls to land in a certain green area a number of times, a meter will fill and when it\u2019s full, a slot machine in the middle will activate.\u00a0 If all three numbers match, you\u2019ll earn that many number of goodies.\u00a0 Prizes include new \u2018skins\u2019 for the characters you control, different music, and even other mini-games!\u00a0 Then when you run out of marbles, you\u2019ll play more mini-games and repeat the process.\u00a0 On the menu screen you can also play each game separately, do the chain endlessly, or view what you\u2019ve unlocked.\u00a0 I really liked the 8-bit graphics and WarioWare style of gameplay, but with only a little over a dozen mini-games, plus the luck based nature of the pachinko unlockables, the slow progression and repetitive nature kept me from staying interested for very long.\u00a0 But if you enjoy mobile games like Flappy Bird, you may want to check this one out as well.<\/p>\n

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

If your pixelly characters get hit, they\u2019ll just explode into smaller squares or fly off the screen, so violence is only minimal.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed to play, and it doesn\u2019t look like there are any in-game purchases, so this is a pretty good mobile game pick for all ages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
