Game Review: Mono and Duo

Hello there,

If you haven't played these games before, you are missing out. They're made by Binary Zoo Studios, and not only have really cool graphics, but the best game play possible.

Here is a screen of Mono:

In this game, you move your ship with the mouse, and blast the crap out of all the colored circles with crazy bullet patterns. The objective of the game is to make the background covered with the opposite color. Whenever you destroy a circle, it leaves some color behind on the background, but whenever you're hit, it subtracts color from where you were when you were hit. It starts out pretty easy, but it quickly gets really challenging, and then the circles start shooting at you. This game is excellent in terms of game play, and the music is good too. 8/10



Here's a screen of Duo:

If it is even possible, this game is even better than Mono. It has the familiar crazyness with the bullet patterns and enemies, and the same type of graphics as Mono: simple, but awesome. In this game, your ship can move left and right, and in very few levels, up and down, but the cool think about this game is that you shoot both up and down at enemies coming in all directions. Once the game really gets started, enemies start flying everywhere, particle effects coming out of every possible location, and it becomes a game of fast reflexes. This is where all sanity leaves and never comes back. 9/10
