Perchang!

We have been killing a lot of time Perchang this week! It’s a FREE app which test your skill and puzzle solving across a mammoth 60 levels! So you won’t get bored of this app!

There are a lot of skill testing games included such as testing your co-ordination skills to guide tiny balls into their goal, be that a flipper or a hole or even a cog. But once you have done this it activates the next portion of the puzzle, however, if you take too long to get to the end of the puzzle you fail, you’re against the clock!

You’ll get faster and faster at completing these levels the more you play, thus increasing your co-ordination skills as you go, so there’s a healthy benefit to killing time too!

Crossy Road!

Remember back in the good ol’ days we had Frogger? No?

Well if you’re too young to remember Frogger it was a simple game, basically you had to get the frog as far as possible up the field as you can, avoiding things like water and crocodiles.

Well Crossy Road has modernised that game with tons of different characters and added features like collecting coins and challenges that you have to complete. But this time with a chicken. Why did the chicken cross the road. Well you’re about to find out!

With over 100,000,000 downloads these guys must be doing something right and for one, we find it incredibly addictive! You always want to see if you can get just one step further! Plus the added bonus is that it is incredibly easy to just pick up and play!

Seaboard 5D!

As well as making music with the Roli App we have also been playing around with a different app available from the same company (Roli) the Seaboard 5D app!

Designed to accompany the Seaboard Rise hardware from Roli the app allows you to also make music without it and create beats on the move!

Recreating the possibilities that are available on the Seaboard RISE, you can shape sounds using the 5 Dimensions of Touch: Strike, Glide, Slide, Press and Lift, with the use of 3D touch also there are so many possibilities!  So not only will it make your iPhone/iPad a sound engine for the Seaboard RISE you’ll also turn it into a really powerful musical instrument!
It’s as easy as pick up and play so anyone of any ability will be able to make tunes within minutes, laid out like a piano keyboard it is not daunting either when you first look at it. Instead of a regular keyboard layout though it is like a continues set of “keywaves” that you can stroke of glide across. For example you can bend the pitch by gliding your fingers across the keys or modulate sounds by moving your finger up and down a keywave.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Call of Duty is BACK and the guys have been killing a lot of hours with it! Infinity Ward have returned and created a futuristic version of the game and in SPACE too! Some of the guns have lasers instead of bullets to make it even cooler!

It’s returning to it’s roots where cinematic, immersive story telling is one of the main features of the game, even getting Conor McGregor of all people to play a character in the game!

The campaign is a return to what makes Call of Duty, Call of Duty with gritty, military roots throughout new environments set in urban landscapes as well as the never before seen space warfare!

So Nintendo have announced their next console and boy is it a game changer!

It’s kind of a home console, portable handheld console in one, what was teased a several months ago via patents has finally come to fruition and safe to say us here at How To Kill An Hour are definitely interested!

While you are at home on Nintendo’s newest console, Nintendo Switch, rests in the the dock which connects the system to a tv which of course acts like a regular console. But then simply by lifting the console out from the dock the system automatically will switch to what Nintendo are calling ‘Portable Mode’ and you’ll be having the same experience that you had on the big screen but now on the go, all in glorious HD.

You play via the detachable ‘Joy-Con’ controllers that sit either side of the Nintendo Switch console. There are a multiple ways that a user can hold and use the Joy-Con controller, for example, one player can use a Joy-Con controller in each of their hands, two players can have one each or multiple controllers can be connected to the console by numerous of people so there are plenty of ways to play games with Nintendo’s newest console. The multiplayer options don’t stop their either as it is possible for numerous people to bring their own Nintendo Switch’s together to play local multiplayer with one another!

The controller is always interesting with Nintendo and this one is no different (as you can see via the image above) the controllers can be clicked back into place on the console, or if you prefer, be slipped into a Joy Con Grip accessory. The Joy-Con’s can also connected to an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller (a more traditional controller)

They can easily click back into place or be slipped into a Joy-Con Grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, if preferred, the gamer can select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to use instead of the Joy-Con controllers. Furthermore, it is possible for numerous people to bring their Nintendo Switch systems together to enjoy local multiplayer face-to-face competition.
