The clock strikes twelve with the Windows Phone game NOON

.NOON.

.NOON. is a Windows Phone game that will test your reflexes, patience and to some degree, your sanity. The game is available for both Windows 8 devices and Windows Phones (including depression-memory phones). We have received a few tips on the game and found the game to be a squeamish fourth dimension waster fifty-fifty though a game rarely lasts more than a few seconds.

The premise of the game is rather uncomplicated, tap the clock as the minute hand strikes apex. While the goal sounds easy, .NOON. is designed to make such a unproblematic task challenging. Dare I say nerve racking?

.Apex.'southward layout is about equally simple as the game's design. The home page has options running across the top of the page to mute the game's music and sound, opt out of the ad support ($.99), restore any in-app purchases and view the About page.

.NOON.

About two-thirds of the way downwards the primary page you will find a clock face with a minute easily spinning effectually and the noon hour marked. As suggested at the bottom of the primary page, you volition need to tap the clock when it hits apex. Game play volition begin one time you successfully time your tap when the clock strikes noon and you will need to repeat the process until your tap is ill timed.

To help with the claiming of .NOON. the game will generate boosted clocks, all of which will demand to exist tapped equally the minute hand strikes noon. The game also doesn't give y'all all day to decide when to tap the clock face.

After the first laissez passer of the clock hand, you will run across the clock face light up in quarter sections with each pass of the manus past the noon mark. If the clock face is completely lit upwardly, you lose (basically you take five passes of the minute hand to make your tap). Tap a clock face too presently or too late, yous lose. To help yous keep track of the time, 4 dots appear next to each clock confront. Equally the minute hand passes the noon marker, a dot will turn red and disappear.

Eventually the game will take iv clock faces on the game screen that you lot will have to tap equally the minute hand strikes the noon mark. Your score is based on how many successful taps you make and don't be shocked if your score stays in the unmarried digits for a while.

.NOON.

At the conclusion of the game, you lot will be presented with the options to view the online leaderboard, charge per unit the game in the Windows Phone Store, share your score via e-mail, replay the game or connect with Facebook to share your score.

Overall Impression

.NOON. is a fun game to laissez passer short bits of time with and is definitely a little humbling (unless you have the reflexes of a Ninja). Graphics are somewhat minimal and game play challenging.

.NOON. Windows 8

While I liked .NOON. I do have two nits to share. First, I wouldn't heed seeing a help screen to comprehend game play. It'due south not a difficult game to figure out but it would be prissy to have, at minimum, a brief tutorial page. Second, the game is complimentary but ad-supported. The advertising-support doesn't come in the form of an advertisement banner running across the gaming screen but rather with a pop-up ad that appears randomly throughout the game. The ads are a piffling more than obvious with the Windows 8 version of the game.

As far as the pop-up ads that accept up the full screen, if they were outlawed and never seen again I wouldn't lose a bit of sleep over the loss. However, with .Noon. the developer was somewhat sympathetic and has the frequency of these ads dialed downward so they aren't as irritating as they could be. Even so, I would rather meet a detached advert-imprint running across the bottom of the screen.

All totaled, .NOON. is a fun time waster of a title for your Windows Phone and Windows eight device. Game play may only concluding a few seconds though and remember, as the Windows Telephone Store descriptions suggests, no thing your score y'all need to proceed calm and exercise not throw your device at walls.

Quick Note: There is a version of .Apex. bachelor over at Google Play from the aforementioned developer. There is as well a version of .Noon. available on iTunes but from another named developer. We aren't sure of the human relationship, if whatsoever, but this is the simply version bachelor for Windows and Windows Phone.
