In nowadays the number of casual games is really skyrocketing and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down, however more and more games means less ideas left to use, or in more casual case repeating the games that already seen the light of game industry through another developer and game. So basically if you don’t have a really original idea to use or a theme that isn’t often used or presented properly the option that you are left is combining multiple genres. When this happens the outcome is just like in cooking, adding too much or too little in any ingredient and the whole thing collapses. Intenium find almost the right recipe and got Tulula – Legend of Volcano. The game is constructed in a specific way, with the intention not to challenge you to your limits, but to let you enjoy playing a game and have enormous fun while playing it. When you start the game a brief intro begins and explains to you what happened so far and what must be done, that is what you must do! You are standing in a cave and you are informed by a shaman named Taboo that everybody in the world is currently frozen and there is only one way out of this situation. You are the chosen one; otherwise you would be frozen along with the others. An evil spirit has gone rogue and cast a spell on the entire world, and you must fix the whole thing. You have to save the tribe by reconstructing the Guard Totem, which is achieved by collecting pieces that have been scattered around the world through level and location-based gameplay. Before you start your quest ¸he shows you the sacred tree of the Tulula, which is of great significance to you as every accomplishment and medal is located there. To get the pieces back together you must travel around the world through exotic locations and search for the shattered parts of the totem to be able to open up a portal that will allow you to travel to these locations. You need this also as the entire village of the Tulula has been destroyed shortly after you have left it by a tornado. This isn’t mentioned on the beginning of the story, only adding more to the twist of the story. When you start you travel, by going to a location through the portal, you will then realize you can’t go back when you want. Going back means collecting new pieces that will rebuild the portal making it possible for you to return to the Totem Room. After all the pieces of the portal have been collected you can go back to the Totem Room, but will you do it straight away depends on you. Returning to the Totem Room will get your items counted and it will show you how many items have you scored that is are all of the items you have searched through the area found. Also in the scoring is graded if you have played all the puzzles that is if you have skipped it you will be penalized. In these searches you will come across different situations which need your attention like getting a lift to work, finding a boat or rigging a hot air balloon and to spice it up a little bit you also get to extinguish a volcano, harness the power of dark matter and give a chief happy dreams. When you enter the spirit world of Tulula you will then start you search for the hidden items in the game. Nothing new and surprising as you are given a list of items that you need to find and there is a recharging system for you to use in case if you get stuck somewhere. Tulula is a fairly complex game. It is far more than just a hidden-object game, with great puzzle variety, memory games, and even a city-building aspect. The city building aspect of the game is meant for the village that has been destroy somewhere in the beginning of the game and you start building it all over again by finding pieces of blueprints all over the world that will help you do this and then use your points one to buy houses and everything you need to build the village back. Some of the gamers will consider this a flaw of the game as the game ‘holds your hand’ pretty much through the whole game. This game when built was intended for the beginners to learn how to play these games, but the ones who already know and are the veterans of the game simply to have fun. The difficulty increases over the game so the game isn’t boring, on the contrary you will see that the gameplay is quite pleasing and relaxing. The game spreads in eleven chapters and 30 beautiful scenes which are full with bright colors done in a very nice way, providing with a pleasant image of a tropical area followed by matching music throughout the whole game. The game may not be perfected and flawed in some areas, but the rest of the game makes up for it and provides with such a pleasure that it is very hard to say no to a game like this. Try it and you won’t be disappointed.
