WVGA Review game Windows Mobile Totem Star by Bob Bikkerman

A WVGA Windows Phone game can be hard to find these days. But the one reviewed here today is a real gem, and best of all it's completely free. Totem Star Lite is a easy but amazing puzzle game for the Windows Mobile platform. Totem Star Lite works perfectly on the WVGA resolution, and as an enthusiastic gamer who loves the new WVGA devices, and games that work on these phones I just had to do a review of this free game.


This WVGA game(and other resolutions) is available for free via the developer website - Touch Dimensions. Where you can find the game as a.cab file to install on your phone. The game in cab format can be either downloaded directly to your cell phone or copied over via your operating system with Bluetooth or Active Sync. This WVGA game requires that you have Microsoft.NET Compact Framework 3.5 running on your Windows mobile 6.1 or 6.5 device. You can get it through searching around in the search engines or the Microsoft site.


This WVGA compatible game that some time ago was known as "Dream Catcher Lite" but for unknown reason was renamed to Totem Star Lite. In this game you lead the destiny of your fellow tribesmen through the stars or so according to the creators of this game. Totem Star is set in the Native American desert sunset. The goal of the game is to draw patterns around stars of similar shape or color. Also you can make combination in as the authors say - 'an infinite variety of patterns' which in the real world will most likely be quite finite. But there are a lot of combinations possible and a lot to be found out in the game play.


Totem Star Lite is easy to start playing, and you will soon discover that the game is much deeper as it appears to be from the beginning. The goal of the game is to make certain patterns from the stars that appear in the nightly heavens. The combinations can be found in the bottom right corner of the screen. Just below a totem pole that you have to fill up to have your fellow tribesmen create more structures, which results into a new pattern and a better highscore.


When you need to make certain combinations you can force the color star to appear in the game area by making a certain combination to force a certain color to spawn. The combinations you can make in the game can be read on Touch Dimensions website that you can locate with any search engine.


The game is fun, and keeps you busy for quite some time. The background music is very relaxing and the entire atmosphere in the game is just great. Though these days it's all about finger friendliness of applications and games this one actually plays better with the stylus. The patterns you have to draw can be quite small and thus your finger can be in the way. The game is fine to play with a finger if you are not that concerned about getting the best highscore that day. In the options menu of the game you can view your current best score and toggle between sounds/music enabled or disabled. Other than that it's just a great little WVGA game that works perfectly on all devices it was tested on, VGA and more. Be sure to try this gem of a game, which on top of it all is free.
