The rocket boy strikes three times

Sequels are not always a bad thing, especially when mobile game developers consider that they have more to offer to players everywhere. Rocket Boy 3 follows the line of the previous games, but adds some extra elements to enjoy.

The third Rocket Boy game asks for the player to help the hero rescue the Floofies, small creatures with magical powers. They have been kidnapped by Dr. Evil, a suggestive name for "the bad guy". That is an even more challenging concept than before, although quite old and not very competitive with other games.

What previous versions of this game used to hold as an advantage is the casual single-button controls. What "Rocket Boy 3" brings over is an intense and challenging action. The main character has the same big eyes and innocent look, although that is one thing which producers could have thought of changing.

Graphics are rather low, highly resembling that found in the case of the Mario game. This means that you shouldn't expect evolved visual effects or any resemblance to the PC look that mobile games are trying so much to reach nowadays. One positive thing about the game is the fact that it comes with bright, vivid colors, almost childish at many times.

During the game, the player must do his best to save the Floofies. It's a long way until that point, with many challenges lying across. He will have to collect diamonds, avoid creatures and lasers, all in a magical land, full of color and perils.

Orange Pixel has been quite satisfied with the success that previous versions of this game have showed and found ways of improving it through much more intense action, in Rocket Boy 3. The game is available on a large number of mobile phones, from the main mobile phone producers, including Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sagem and Sony Ericsson.
