Description: A frantic action workout. You enter the Holodaze arena armed with your power balls and your trusty teleporter to see how long you can survive. Teleport from cube to cube whilst destroying enemy robots and dodging their attacks. Robot drones will randomly appear to try and blast you to pieces but you can fight back by throwing your power balls in their faces!

The one catch is, when you teleport, you can teleport to any face of the cube which shifts your orientation in the Holodaze arena so now when you throw, gravity is working against you. In easy mode and normal mode, you have a helpful reminder of which cube face you’re standing on. Green is the top of the cube, Red is the bottom of the cube, Blue is any of the sides of the cube….. Stay on the green to make your life easy!

Review: Holodaze is a little bit of retro gaming fun that isn’t going to blow you away and gets repetitive quicker than most factory work. But one thing it also offers and that is fun. Sure it looks basic, but once you start to get into it you can soon find yourself having more and more fun as the action gets more manic. Even for the small current price of £1.99 this is still hard for me to recommend it to you. Maybe if you pick it up in a bundle or sale it will be worth a look. Fun it might be, but it offers very little besides it.
