IDEA - A Short Review
1K View2023-03-12
IDEA is a drone camera calm puzzle mobile game where you have to kick a bulb to move it to another area until you find its final destination point. I was quite disappointed right away with this game as it has no tutorial for the beginner and the game seems to have some non-english language (Spanish maybe?). There is no story plot to this game, thus I had no sense at all on where this game is heading to. To my surprise, the game is quite short, simple and bland! As this game costs $3.99 USD, I am not happy with my purchase.
In the gameplay, you are the circular icon with the light bulb inside. All you need to do is to tap (kick) the bulb icon from different sides to keep it moving and try to get it to the next area. The real drone camera pictures are setup as the pathway for our lightbulb and it can only pass through roads, streets and dirt roads. Sometimes the obstacles will render our bulb unreactive to our tap. Keep checking the right side of the screen for the timer bar as the game will be over if its expires! As soon as you get to next area, the timer will be reset to full! So you need to keep traveling to the next area as soon as possible! You can eat other idea (circular icons) while moving. And its not that clear in the game what that actually does!? Honestly, I didn't find this gaming mechanics to be any fun at all besides just kicking ball hopelessly for it to get it to its final destination point.
Oh well and at last, I did find its final location which seemed to be on a coast area. And after reaching there, a short real camera video showed up where a person picks up the bulb and lifts up in the air and the game ends! It took me about 3 minutes to get there. For this short game, I spent $3.99 USD, which I felt quite unfair.
Overall, the game is pretty simple/basic and has no strategical or tactical approach to its puzzle solving. I definitely won't be recommending this game to anyone. I am still surprised on how the devs charged any money for this game! The game could be made a lot better with lots of tactical and strategical features to the game. A proper storyline would have made the game more interesting. Various game modes would have made it more enjoyable. Tasks and missions could have given more depth to the game. Overall, this game seems to be an experimental game with not much effort of the developers who somehow thought that putting a price tag for this game would be a great idea!
Let me know in the comments below on what you think of this game.

It’s a paid game, but the first chapter is free. The whole version is $6.99.
Without arguing about it’s paid or it’s free. I think I like it. I would recommend it to every of my friend who would like to try some special things. Even it’s called Unmaze. It’s not the puzzle game you would expect. The core of the game is story-telling. The experience is more like reading a Junji Ito which brings you to a chilling, weird, unimaginable world.
