Knock Down 4.1.6

Games where you have to use your skills of projection and aiming to good effect are always great as they not only provide entertainment but offer good exercise for your brain as well. Slinging games where you have to sling something towards an object in order to knock it down or to strike it out require you to concentrate and understand the direction in which you must shoot in order to reach your destination. Angry birds made such games extremely popular and this has led to an entire field of such games. One such knocking game is named Knock Down. The game, developed by Innovative Games, promises a test of your analytical and problem-solving skills.

The knocking game has a refreshingly simple layout as it doesn't overcomplicate anything. The game developers understand that users who would download the game won't want to be bombarded with too many extra options. This is why the game's homepage only offers you the option of playing the actual game or adjusting the sound and volume settings. Once you tap on 'Play', you would be taken to the level screen where you would be required to decide the level you want to play.

There are 70 levels in the game with every next level more difficult and trickier than the earlier one. The progression of difficulty is a tough nut to crack for many developers. This is because if they make each successive level a lot more difficult, then the users might be turned off by the steep difficulty. On the other hand, if developers increase the difficulty too slowly then the users might leave the game citing its easy level of challenge. Interestingly enough, Knock Down strikes the right balance with each level not so difficult that you will not be able to clear it but not so easy that you would be able to get the highest score in the first attempt.

The knocking game's gameplay is funny and entertaining. You are provided with a pre-decided set of angry balls that you can mount on a sling. The basic target of the angry balls have to be a set of boxes laid out on a platform. The goal is to knock down all the boxes from the platform without exhausting the pre-decided number of angry balls available. There can be more than one platform in any given level and the path to the boxes can be filled with obstructions too in order to increase the stakes and increase the challenge.

The main control is the direction of the sling as you can pull it back in different directions in order to aim better and strike the boxes at the right spot. The deeper you pull, the faster the angry balls would travel. The controls are responsive with the availability of a small trajectory path guiding the users on whether their aim would reach the right spot or not.

The physics involved in the game is not perfect but it still works fine as far as trajectory of the ball is concerned. The fact that the angry balls bounce perfectly of seemingly uneven surfaces is the only point where the laws of physics are disregarded but the game generally does a good job of adhering to realism.

The graphics of the game are simple with the multi-colored boxes a good contrast with the red angry balls. The background music is engaging and interesting and keeps you in the mood of playing the game.

Features:

• Extremely simple to play
• Over 70 playing levels
• Engaging gameplay with simple objectives
• Smooth and responsive controls that ensure the ball goes where you aim

Conclusion:

Knock Down is a funny and entertaining knocking game. With good controls, multiple gaming levels and a nice progression in the difficulty of challenges, the game is a great option for anybody looking for some brain exercises coupled with entertainment.
