Roll Dem Bones -- 3D CEDiCE reviewed

Posted by Don Tolson in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:00 AM


Tutorials
Ru0 Games has thoughtfully provided fully animated tutorials for both versions of CEDiCE. The animations have a text description and then a display of the move. The animations run a bit slowly for me, and the buttons, etc. are turned off, so you can’t move the demo along any quicker.


Figure 9: Example Tutorial Screen.

They show the basic rules of each type of game, to get you started. Unfortunately, there are no details or hints as to the more complicated rules/moves. Those are left for you to discover on your own.

The Demo Version
The demo version provides both the Horizontal and Vertical games, but there are significant jumps in level (in the Vertical, you go from 1 to 30 to 60) and there is no way to save the level you got to. This means you have to restart at zero (or one) each time you play the game. In the full, registered version, as you progress through the levels, the application tracks your progress and lets you re-enter and any level successfully completed.

Internet Connectivity
There is internet connectivity directly available from the game so you can share your scores on their central server and/or download new levels. Unfortunately, I didn’t have this available as I was testing, so I wasn’t able to see how it worked. (To be honest, I don’t think I want to share my paltry scores anyway....)
