Cross Cliff, a Casual Time-Killer Game for Android

The game itself is a tiny game due to its nature as a casual game for Android devices. The size of its APK installer is only 31MB. The total installation size of the game itself is only twice the installer size. There is no need to be afraid of installing it because it will not eat up a lot of space. With only that much size, there is nothing much to expect from this compact game. As implies earlier, it is a time-killer game that Android users can play in the middle of a queue or during a city commuting travel.

Upon opening the game, there will be a simple home screen of gray in the background. There is the title of the game there in white over a yellow background. Below the title of the game is a white button with the label of Play in black. That is the only button to press that will initiate the game. Upon pressing that button, there will be a Level Select screen. There are 20 levels available on that page to play one stage at a time. The background color of each level number indicates its difficulty level. Level one to four comes with the background color of aqua. Meanwhile, level seventeen to twenty has a red background.

Players need to choose the level before entering it to play. Of course, the next level will be available to play after completing the previous one. Entering the actual gameplay of this Cross Cliff game will not be delivering much of a difference from the other screens. The background remains the same in gray with green and blue rectangles as the platforms to cross. There are two circular items and a blue wire that connects them. That is the thing that players control when navigating through the stages of the game.

One of the circles will sit in place, and the other one will rotate accordingly. Tapping the screen of the device will alter the circle that sits and moves. The point of the game is to move to the final rectangular platform by tapping the screen on time. A timely tap to the screen will allow the circles to move forward. If the circular item sits on the gap between the platforms, the game will end immediately. It is that simple in terms of the gameplay of this casual game for Android. Nevertheless, it remains fun to play for sure.

Failing to complete the course at a level will prompt a selection menu of Home and retry. The shape and size of the platforms change when finishing the stages. It gets more difficult to the higher levels available to play. Regarding the overall difficulty of the game, it is not difficult at all for everyone to play. It is reasonable for a time-killing app on a mobile device. It does not use a lot of resources of the device as well. Therefore, there is no need to have a high-end Android device to play this game conveniently.

The background music of the game itself is nothing but simple. It resembles the simplicity of 8-bit style sound from the old years of gaming. It is even simpler than that in some ways. Regardless of that, the back sound seems to be appropriate for the occasion. All in all, there is nothing to complain about the complete package of this so-called Cross Cliff game. Everything that it provides is reasonable for its nature. It will be better if the game is available to search and download directly from the official Google Play Store for Android devices.

In the end, it is not fair to compare it to the similar title of Cross the Cliff. The one that is available on the Play Store offers more things than this one. Nevertheless, Cross Cliff is a simple but fun game for time-killing and quick escape for entertaining purposes. It is even reasonable to play this game while relieving in the toilet. Anyone who loves playing this type of game needs to download and install it to experience Cross Cliff. It is interesting to see where this game will go afterward. It can be better in its many aspects for sure.
