There are games that when you first see and play them, you instinctively know how to play them, either because the mechanics are so familiar, or there are tons of other games like it in the market. And then every once in a while, you come across one that is unique, easy to play but difficult to master, and your brain and fingers just itch to accept the challenge. Shibuya Grandmaster may be one of those games and the arcade puzzler is now available on your Android devices.
The basic idea for the game is that tiles of different colors descend in one column and you’ll have to arrange the order before they fall so you can match the colors, create combos, and just basically avoid the screen from filling up with the tiles. Sounds simple enough right? But you’d have to do it in just two minute rounds with different speeds, from slow to regular to super duper fast. And you are also assigned missions that you need to finish in order to move up the ranks until you finally reach the Grandmaster level.
There are 7 different gameplay speeds that can be randomly assigned to you during missions. There are atmospheric backgrounds, color sets, and the 60fps responsive graphics and gameplay that can help you adjust and focus as you play. And since we’re dealing with colors here, and there are a lot of colorblind people out there, there is an option for color set swapping.
Of course there are leaderboards for players to see how they are stacking up against other wanna-be Grandmasters. The game is free to download from the Google Play Store, and the only in-app purchases are for the backgrounds and color sets, so it won’t affect your gameplay.
