CJ: Strike Back, saving your city from alien invasion

CJ: Strike Back is a arcade styled game for Windows Phone where you play the function of the hero. A hero attack saving he city from invading aliens. Oddly, you lot do so by running up the screen jumping from side to side from building lining the sides of the screen, taking out the bad guys in mid leap. The farther y'all progress upwards the buildings, the higher your score.

I'thousand not sure how much staying power CJ: Strike Back has simply for brusk $.25 of fourth dimension the game isn't a bad time waster.

The "CJ" in CJ:Strike Dorsum stands for City Bound, which makes sense seeing that y'all are constantly jumping around in the game. The main carte du jour has options to play the game, view the aid screen, check out the high scores, view more games from the programmer and access the IAP for gaming shields. The just setting available for the game is a mute button that sits in the center of the behemothic robot's chest.

The object of CJ:Strike Dorsum is to see how far up the screen your hero tin make it before the aliens take him out. Y'all do have dominate battles at diverse stages to keep things challenging.

Game play is fairly simple. Tap the screen to jump from 1 side of the screen to the other to avoid dangers that line the sides of the buildings. You can assault the aliens past hit them in mid-leap. Take out three of a kind and you go an invincibility boost. At the bottom of the screen yous accept a pause push and your shield count. At the meridian of the screen is your score. Yous can use shields to protect your hero from one hit.

Should you make contact with an alien weapon, ship or the alien dominate you fall to your fate and the game'due south over.

CJ:Strike Back picks up in speed as you progress up the buildings and you'll need to be on your toes to bound effectually all the dangers. Graphics aren't too shabby, game play challenging enough to keep things interesting, but the game lacks that addictive quality to keep yous pulled in for longer bits of fourth dimension. For shorter periods when y'all need help passing the time, CJ:Strike Back isn't a bad pick. I just don't know if it has the staying power to survive those times your in the mood for lengthier gaming sessions.

CJ:Strike Back is a free, advertisement-supported game for both Windows Phone 8 and vii.ten devices. Yous do have the in-app purchase options to purchase additional shields. You can pick upwardly CJ:Strike Dorsum here in the Windows Phone Shop.
