Ginger Roll is a fresh new arcade game featuring a cool character, beautiful graphics and art-work along with a wonderful storyline.

Its amazing graphics and audio-visual effects establishes Ginger Roll as a great entertainer and one of the best new endless-runner arcade games.

Game Play and Concept

Although it’s not a revolutionary endless running game, it is interesting because of the movements of the lead hero – Saif.

Ginger Roll, from IRF Media, has interesting physics and it is easy to say that this game has very appealing and entertainingly exciting environments.

We will talk more about that in the following paragraph. The storyline of Ginger Roll is based around the main character – Saif, who is trapped by the child genius Iblis in a Zorb ball.

You need to pass through all the challenges that Iblis has set for you as player. You need to tilt your phone to control the direction inside the ball.

Features

Like we said previously, Ginger Roll features some really exciting graphics, enemies, obstacles and challenges. When you add up that the game has 4 fantastically adventurous worlds, we can say even now that the game is easily worth a buck.

The powerups in this game are also exciting. You can turn the zorb ball from a normal one into a basketball for example.

We were quite pleasantly surprised by the creative minds of the developers. Some powerups are really exciting and you will want to get them again really quickly! As you progress you can unlock different characters, powerups and costumes.

While this platform game features great graphics and sound effects, as you pass through it you will have hard time playing it for a long time.

It gets messy and confusing as you progress. That is why we think that the game is created for the die-hard fans of arcade running platform games. If you are not a huge fan of these games, you may not enjoy Ginger Roll on long-term. Either way, you’ve got to appreciate the effort from the developers though, there are 60 levels and they can get extremely challenging as you progress.

Conclusion

This is a perfect example of a beautiful and interesting arcade game that is designed according to a well-known recipe. That said, we think you’ll appreciate the huge talent and effort involved in the creation of the design and the artwork.

The game is totally worth it and we especially recommend it if you are a huge fan of such arcade platform games.

The storyline is also creative and the fact that Saif needs to pass through 4 different worlds and 60 different levels will motivate you to help him achieve this.

Ginger Roll is a proof that the creative minds still exist on the App Store, you’ll just need to find them.

Ginger Roll requires iOS 7.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Google has released an Android TV remote app for iPhone and iPad, but don’t expect much from it.

Like the existing remote app for Android phones and tablets, the iOS version lets you tap on a virtual D-pad, swipe on a virtual touchpad, play/pause, hit the back button, hit the home screen, and conjure voice search. It also includes a keyboard for faster on-screen typing.

No, it’s not a particularly imaginative app, but in fairness, hardly any of the phone control apps for modern media players are. Apple TV? Virtual remote buttons on a touchscreen. Amazon Fire TV? Virtual remote buttons on a touchscreen. Roku fares better, letting you browse channels and new arrivals in Roku Feed, and listen privately through headphones using the new Roku Streaming Stick. But it’s still virtual remote buttons on a touchscreen when you want to actually control the device.

Google actually has a solution to this problem with Google Cast, the second-screen control system that’s built into Chromecast and Android TV. Instead of tapping virtual remote buttons on a touchscreen, you open an app like Netflix or Hulu on your phone, hit the Cast button, then use the app to browse and select a video. Once you’ve made a selection, it automatically starts playing back on the television. As a way to control your TV from the phone, it’s genius.

But while Google Cast works fine for streaming video apps, there are large swaths of the Android TV interface where you’re back to tapping virtual remote buttons on a touchscreen. Why not include a small-screen interface for the Live Channels app, or shortcuts to the Recommendations bar?

This would take a lot more effort, and it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Google’s emphasis is behind Chromecast and Cast-enabled TVs. So, virtual remote buttons on a touchscreen it is.
