Each period has its own game and this, speaking of the video game sector for smartphones, is that of the super minimal reflex games developed by General Adaptive, which has created a real genre of games all based on reflections. General Adaptive games all have names made up of two letters, certainly easy to remember, but which don't say anything at all, they are minimal.
For example, the title that is dominating the charts in the Google Play and iTunes stores today is called aa and it is what is driving millions of players around the world today, installed on more than 10 million Android smartphones.
Aa, available free of charge for both Android and iPhone smartphones, is the name of a highly respectable reflex test, difficult and only for gifted people with a certain patience.
Just look at the image above to immediately understand how minimal this game is from a graphic point of view: a wheel that turns, sometimes with constant speed and direction, sometimes changing the rhythm and the direction, on which to shoot pins from below .
The aim is, apparently very simple, to insert all the pins into the ball.
The problem is that the space to insert them, after having shot them a little, becomes smaller and smaller and with the wheel spinning even at a variable rate you really have to throw them at the right time, in the right space.
To throw the pins just a touch on the screen and nothing else.
'aa' is fast, fun and very addictive, but at the same time it never changes and it is always more difficult when you progress from level to level.
Playing aa also creates a certain dependence and, above all, frustration and anger when you cannot pass a level and wonder why!
In the end it takes patience and considering that in aa there are about 700 levels, I would say that it could even take a year to overcome them all, provided that you don't end up pulling the phone from the window in the anger of not being able to.
After aa, aa 2 also came out, always free for Android and iPhone, always with a spinning wheel, always difficult, where this time you have to shoot the dots on the lines to create the pins.
On the General Adaptive page on Google Play you can find all the other games (at the moment except aa and aa2 have all been withdrawn).
Final note: the games are free with advertising that appears at the bottom and then full screen, every X games.
For all these games you can unlock all levels for a fee so you can skip the ones that you really can't pass.
