Only Good Games: Fowlst

Image result for fowlst

Fowlst is simple and stylish, and I like it quite a bit.

The controls are well suited for mobile and as such are dead simple. Tap on the left side of the screen to make the owl lurch left and tap on the right side to go right. The gameplay is classic arcade. Aside from the normal baddies you encounter, a boss will appear every five levels or so. There is a surprising amount of depth in the completion of each stage, and the variety of upgrades and power ups ensure the gameplay stays fresh. The game also hits all the right notes as far as music, animation, and overall juice. I love how in the beginning cut scene, the cute little owl slices a monster in half declaring that he is a renegade whilst standing atop a mound of his defeated foes. The irony.
