Introduction

If you are a puzzle game lover, you will definitely love Maze Machina. Released in January 2020, this game is a single-player swiping puzzler. You will be playing a tiny hero who is trapped by an enemy called Automatron. You have to utilize various tools and tricks to escape and overcome the dangers throughout the game. Engaging in a conflict will cause you more trouble. Instead, you have to use your mind and make some clever moves to escape the trap.

Maze Machina is a one of a kind puzzle game where the entire game takes place on a tile-based item system. You can utilize infinite combinations of attacks, defenses and utility moves in the game. Some common features of the game include swipe gameplay, 5 game modes, short game sessions of 5 or 10 minutes, and leaderboards.

Play:

The objective of Maze Machina is to find the key and exit the trap quickly. In order to achieve the objective, you have to use various items and tools. The game has a time-based system that can be used to attack the enemy. For example, if you are standing on a dagger tile, you can use it to kill your enemy. So remember that your position plays a very important role in the game. Another thing that you should take care of is the movement. Swipe in any of the four directions and the figures that can move will follow the directions. On the other hand, the immovable items will make use of an item on the tile.

There are only a few enemies at the initial levels of the game. However, when you progress to higher levels, there are at least 5 enemies and they can be very dangerous. There is an energy system and every move will cost you stamina and some cheese. In the game, you will come across a term called ‘Elegance Forever,’ which means using very few moves and repositioning effects instead of engaging in a war.

Unlike other games, Maze Machina expects you to find the solution in the most unique way possible.

Introduction

Junglee Rummy is breaking the internet. The game is a smart, modern avatar of the age-old game of rummy and uses highly appealing graphics, smart, intuitive controls and groundbreaking technology. But that’s not all. Unlike the games described earlier, you can play rummy and win real cash on Junglee Rummy. Moreover, the game has impressive tournaments and leaderboards where you can compete with thousands of players for huge cash prizes and other merchandise.

Play:

The play of Junglee Rummy is just like that of real-world rummy. There are two-player tables and six-player tables available on the platform. You have to pay an entry fee to play a cash game or tournament. One or two decks of cards (including Jokers) are used, depending on the number of players. Each player is dealt 13 cards and they have to match cards and create sequences and sets. The player who manages to arrange all the cards first is the winner of the game. Now let us understand how cards are arranged.

Sequence: When three or more consecutive cards of the same suit are grouped together, it is a sequence. It is called a pure sequence if no Joker is included. Examples: 7♥-8♥-9♥; A♠-2♠-3♠.

At least two sequences, of which at least one must be a pure sequence, are required for a valid declaration.

When a Joker is used to complete a sequence, it is an impure sequence. Examples: 4♣-5♣-8♥ (wild Joker), Q♦-K♦-PJ.

Set: Three or four cards of the same rank form a set. A Joker can also be included in a set. Examples: 3♦-3♣-3♥; A♠-A♣-A♦-A♥; 9♦-9♣-PJ.

After melding your cards, discard the last card and click on the “Finish” button to declare your cards. For a valid declaration, the overall point score must be zero. In case of an invalid declaration, there will be a penalty of 80 points in a points rummy game. The value of each card is as follows:

Tips

1. As pure sequence is mandatory to win a rummy game, so focus on creating that first.
2. When your opponent declares first, high cards like As, Ks, Qs, Js and 10s make you lose by a big margin. If you have unused high cards, discard them as soon as possible.
3. The Joker is a trump card that can be used in impure sequences and sets. If you have several Jokers, use them to your advantage but do not declare without a pure sequence.
4. While playing the game, observe your opponent’s moves and look out for the cards picked by them from the discard pile and the cards discarded by them.

Cost: It’s absolutely free to download, but there are some in-app purchases that range from Rs. 79 to Rs. 6900.

All of these features make the game fun and entertaining to play.

You will take up the role of one of the characters in the game and you have to navigate through the racing track and beat others by crossing the finish line first. Throughout the game, you will be automatically accelerating. So that shifts focus to the other areas of the game, including turning, drifting and utilizing items. You have to use different controls and directional buttons to drift and traverse through stiff bends and corners. While touch controls might play against you during a kart racing game, KartRider developers have effectively used the on-screen buttons in the best way possible.

While playing the game, you have to focus on drifting. For performing this action, hold the drift button present on the screen and drag it in a direction to move through the corner. When you have crossed the turn, just release the button or straighten up. It also enables you to generate a boost.
