Masky Reviews

Others have said it's a glorified balance meter and that's fairly accurate. Some of the levels have complicating effects, like being upside down, or tilted, but overall it's a matter of trying to balance your line of dancers against the people you pick up, who have various pull-strength against the group. That said, it's addicting (and sometimes infuriating), and with its cute style and quirky music it's a fun little casual time-waster.

Wow. WOW. What a cool little game. Just one little, interesting idea, and they've put such soul into it. I just love what this publisher puts out, and what this developer has made. Such tight music, the rhythm is perfect with the meter, and where another developer might have just put whatever song they felt like in there, the devs went the extra mile and incorporated it into the gameplay. It's a dollar, so don't expect a ton of variety, but it does have cool new worlds to see and different masks and stuff. It's not a *compelling* story, but it's enough to encourage you to want to make it to the next level. Yep. I don't want to write too long about a game like this. It's an excellent experience for a dollar.

It was fun for a little bit. It's just a balancing act. All you do is keep the bar centered. If it goes to far to the left or the right all of the dancers fall over and you lose. I had fun for like an hour. It's worth the $.50 I paid for it, but probably not much more than that.

What a peculiar game. Your goal here is to to try to connect with as many other people(NPCs) as possible, while maintaining a balance that doesn't result in you tipping over. You've seen pretty much all there is to see within the first 10-15 minutes of the game. I found it to be a bit shallow, lacking any real depth. Each level results in a some experience which will open up new levels to play. The new levels are just new music from what I saw, and that doesn't add anything to the game that really makes you want to keep playing after the initial level. No track screams out at you trying to lure you into its embrace.

[h1]Potential party game for the price of a 99¢ meal deal[/h1] Both soothing and frustrating, and incredibly simplistic, Masky is unique for what it is. My boyfriend said that, on paper, this game probably looked so basic and silly, it's a wonder it got created. It's a game of balance, with random occurrences thrown in every now and then to screw with you, depending on what mask-wearing peeps you tag with. The graphics and music are terrific, and the mechanics are smooth. What's really great about Masky is the 4-player, split-screen mode. Plug in 4 controllers and get ready for some fun with family or friends, local or online. It's just as much fun and frustrating to watch others play, as well. [b]8/ 10[/b] [i]You won't bemoan your 0.99 spent, guaranteed![/i]

Do not buy this game if you like 100% achievement completion: the 2 multiplayer achievements are almost unobtainale. The game itself is good for the first 10 minutes. Then it becomes boring for the rest of its existence. The artwork is interesting, the music and the atmosphere enjoyably bizzarre.

Edit: If anyone wants to play together to try to get the multiplayer achievements, just send me a message. Thanks. - I regret not playing it immediately after I bought it - so I could still request a refund. In about 5-10 minutes you'll have done everything the game has to offer. It's nothing more than a balancing game. You'll probably play (a lot) more for the achievements though - and you won't even be able to get the multiplayer ones. Cute characters, bad soundtrack and repetitive gameplay. 3/10

Wanna dance without having to get up? Or infect others with the rhythm? Masky brings it in with being a balance dancing game as you collect more and mor people to bring up your score. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Although Masky describes it as a dancing game, I'd take it as more of a balancing game. With the simple balancing mechanics that anyone can easily pick up without a tutorial. However, with it being advertised as a dancing game, it can easily be misinterpreted to a dancing game rather than what the gameplay actually is. Each round starts with your character in the middle with two other figures on each side of you. All you have to do is walk towards them to join hands, comtinuing till you lose your balance. As you play more, and try to take a shortcut, you see the balance is connected to the pople you have. Go grab people from the same side and it'll become difficult to stay upright as it drifts to that side. So adjusting to have somewhat the same amount of people on each side is advisable to stay on your feet. Of course as the line gets bigger and bigger it will also becoe difficult to stay upright. To balance this out the game will spawn doors, both to bring you to another theme and to lighten your load. The kicker is the special masks that activates certain effects that can either be helpful or not. Ranging from it cutting off some people to putting your screen upside down. This is characterized early by a red arrow and later by what mask the don once you add them to your line. [h1]Single vs Multi-Player[/h1] With the basic gameplay out of the way let's see how playing by yourself and playing with others is the same or differs. A leveling system is integrated to give you more mask designs, coming with it's own music (guarenteed starter music if you're in single player) that shows up in the game. It also shows feet, which increases the more levels you go up, which I believe gives you more workaround with your balancing. And while you can try to achieve this in single player by just trying to get as many dancers to join you, multiplayer is much more enjoyable. Leveling up with playing online is actually pretty fun. Especially if you happen along someone that is leveling up just like you. Instead of getting the most dancers, multiplayer focuses on a race between three others (bots will fill in for the missing spots) to get a chain of 25. Winning 3 rounds declares you the winner. Dependsing if you win or lose, skill points and your rank will either go down or up.The split-screen nature doesn't really help you but others to tempt you into looking, but you can guess where they are by the sounds each thing makes that you can hear. The bots is really difficult to beat, seeming to mostly do better than what you do. [h1]Sound[/h1] The music that goes along with each theme is catchy and great. It doesn't call you attention but lightly pats you as you try to balance. The tempo goes along with how you are doing rather than it being set. The sound effects for the special masks or going through doors stands out from the music easily. So if you are in multiplayer, you can sneakily track the others. [h1]Visuals[/h1] You can't just look at the screenshots but look at the gameplay. As it keeps moving rather than standing still most of the time. Everything, except the masks, are outlined in a specific color based on the theme giving a basic representation of the body type. The background also uses this, but it has moving parts. It is very eye catching which is great but can distract you from the task in hand. [h1]Performance[/h1] Do not worry about performance with Masky! It doesn't lag or have any major problems with connecting to others. Everything is really easy to manage and go through. If you want to quickly launch it and go in, it is very easy. [h1]Replayability[/h1] It only lasts as long as you want to play. You can easily stop at the max level. If there was more of an online presence it would hold more replayabiltity. But after you max out you can try to beat your high score chain. [h1]Overall[/h1] + Art + Music + Integrating mask abilities and how many people with the balancing aspect + Cheap price +/- Multiplayer only achievements - Bots adding up the difficulty Masky is simple that anyone will be able to pick up and get after a few minutes. Balancing may seem too easy at first but gets harder and harder as you progress. The only thing that may not be great, other than the bots, is the multiplayer only acheievements. Not many people play online, so they can easily be hard to get (not to mention having bots replace some spots). Which is a shame due to how fun it is to level up with someone else and the cheap price it's set at. But otherwise I recommend this. ANd if you happen to know a friend looking for a cheap multiplayer game, level up with them!

A hypnotic and rhythmic (and mystical!) game. Visually I love it. The mechanics are quite easy and the evolution of the levels is mainly focused on increasing the difficulty on the same base. In any case it is very entertaining, and ends up hooking you to see if you achieve one more level. I've never tried it playing online with other people, but alone it's fun enough. [ESP] Un juego hipnótico y rítmico (¡y místico!). Visualmente me encanta. La mecánica no tiene mucho misterio y la evolución de los niveles se centra principalmente en aumentar la dificultad sobre la misma base. En cualquier caso es muy entretenido y acaba enganchándote para ver si logras un nivel más. Nunca lo he probado jugando en línea con más gente, pero a solas resulta lo suficientemente divertido.
