15 Minutes Of Game – We Gotta Catch Em All, Morty.


This last weekend we were expecting a snow storm. I love the serenity of a snow storm, particularly the muffling effect the snow has on all of the city sounds around you. On the other hand, you then have to clean it all up so the school kids walking past don’t break a hip. I flipped between the weather channel app and games to test while watching movies with my brother, fiancé, and cat. The line of the storm edged closer and closer until it got less than a mile from my house. That’s where it sat for hours. While I waited for the storm that never came, these are the games i had fun playing.

Starting with your one of a kind Morty, you utterly destroy fellow trainers and rival ricks to earn crafting supplies, badges, and more. This game has all of the same great insanity that the show has made us come to love. In the event of passing out from an alien putting a hurting on you, an old friend swoops in to save the day.

I was surprised by how quickly this became challenging. In Magic Touch: Wizard For Hire, pop bubbles holding your enemies by drawing on the screen to match the design in the bubble. After a few levels the shapes in the bubbles become more difficult to draw. Feeling more comfortable? Well now there are more enemies falling with more balloons to pop. For a game that is challenging, it was very fun to play and easy to pick up and put down.
