Eastpak推出广告游戏《SPAK》 用人体模仿俄罗斯方块

发布时间:2011-04-27 11:31:14 Tags:,,

Eastpak的Facebook广告游戏《SPAK》是人体俄罗斯方块,背包客从高层建筑物上跳下,被吸进喷气式涡轮机中。公司努力在游戏中提升其背包客狂怒暴躁的景象,并将其标榜为“Built to Resist”。多亏了这么棒的创意团队,将血腥和病态的想法杜撰成有趣的事物,这款十分古怪的游戏同样引人注目。这个社交游戏究竟如何呢?

要玩这款游戏,玩家必须“赞”下Eastpak在Facebook的官方页面,让游戏进驻你的Facebook账户(游戏邦注:其他游戏也是如此)。每次游戏开始时都会向你展示动画,首次观看后可以选择“跳过介绍”。进入主菜单后,可以看到两种玩法:“单人训练模式”和“双人模式”。如果你选择单人模式,无需观看规则,但双人模式则不然。

为击败对手,你需要抢先消除3条水平线(游戏邦注:玩法类似传统的《俄罗斯方块》)。关键点在于,你和对手都能够进入双方的游戏场地,丢下方块帮助或妨碍对方。游戏中也有升级版的方块,如内容充满惊喜的“奖励包”和摧毁所有东西的“罗盘包”。使用奖励会引发实时过场动画,对游戏造成干扰,这是游戏风格上的新尝试。当然这取决于个人偏好,你可能会觉得这些动画很讨厌,也可能认为是见过得最棒的东西。

在双人模式中,你只能与“赞”过Eastpak Facebook页面的朋友玩游戏,而且只能在那些朋友和你同时登录游戏时与他们一起玩。如果没有朋友在线,你会收到别人与你对战的请求。此类请求将显示于屏幕上,有1分钟的时间供你做出回应。最后应该提到的是,完整的社交游戏需要积分排行榜,游戏中同样会显示出消除行数最多的十名玩家。

游戏并非吹嘘,《SPAK》确实包含了所有社交游戏应有的内容。事实上,作者认为最好与他人玩这款游戏。因为单人训练模式确实只能称得上是训练,与朋友对战才能找到真正的乐趣。到目前为止仅听到人们抱怨其视觉效果看起来十分诡异,或许大部分人无法接受这种风格。而且,采用的艺术形式让人难以估算每行还有多少空间,因为玩家调控的是人形方块。总体上来说,作者十分喜欢此作。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Eastpak takes a bold leap with human tetris Facebook game ‘SPAK’

Eastpak’s ‘SPAK’, a human tetris Facebook advergame that has backpackers jumping off a tall building and being sucked into jet turbines, is all part of the company’s efforts in promoting an edgy and tough image for their backpacks, which are branded as “Built to Resist.” And thanks to a great creative team, who managed to take a gory and morbid concept and spin it into something fun, the game doesn’t fail to be engaging, work-safe, and made of complete and utter weird. But how does it fare as a social game?

To play, you have to ‘Like’ Eastpak’s official Facebook page, and then allow the game to access your Facebook account (which is all pretty standard stuff). You’ll be a shown a game trailer every time you begin, but you’ve the option to “skip intro” after the first time. Once you’re at the main menu, there’s two ways to play: “Solo Training Mode” and “Duel Mode”. If you’re going Solo, you don’t have to look at the rules, but if you want to test out Duel Mode, expect SPAK to throw a few curveballs.

To beat your opponent, you need to be the player that’s first to eliminate 3 horizontal lines. The catch is, both you and your opponent are allowed to screw with each other’s playing fields by dropping blocks to either help or hurt each other. There’s also power-ups in the game, such as “BONUS BAGS” (which ‘are full of surprise’) and “MALUS BAGS” (that ‘will destroy everything’). As a stylistic touch, the use of a bonus also triggers live-action cut-scenes that will interrupt you while you’re playing. (Depending on your preferences, you may find this annoying or the most awesome thing ever!) The one that keeps showing up so far, is of a person in a black leather jacket with a fox’s head, long tresses, and a bag of bricks. Another is the same fox person, but playing with a kitten. Like I said, it’s weird.

With Duel Mode, you’re limited to playing with friends who have also ‘Liked’ the Eastpak Facebook page. You’re also only able to play if those friends are using the game at the same time as you. If not, you’re out of luck. When you get a request, you’ll see it on your screen and you’ll have one minute to respond or the request will time out. Finally, no social game is complete without a highest score list, and there’s a gamewide one of the top ten players who’ve eliminated the most lines in a game.

Toss in the option to make posts on your Facebook wall to facilitate bragging rights and it looks like SPAK has all the makings of a social game. In fact, I’d argue it’s best played with other people, as the Solo Training Mode really is about training and the real fun is in having a mano-a-mano with your friends. The only gripes so far is that it may be a little too weird, visually, for most people. Also, the art style does make it harder to gauge how much room you have for your lines because you’re maneuvering blocks shaped as people. Overall, I love it. But then, I’m never going to get tired of watching people get sucked into jet turbines and random clips of fox-headed person. (Source: Games.com)
