Google Play Reco's: Sector Strike

I have just gotten hooked on a new great time waster that is quite a marvel to play especially at times when you just can't seem to do anything else but sit back and wait for that plane to arrive, which is usually the case with Cebu Pacific during the evening flights.

The game is called Sector Strike by Clapfoot Inc, which puts you in control of a futuristic fighter jet which you shall be controlling with your finger and guiding it through different levels of enemy sectors and dodging a myriad of bullets. Upgrades can be done through collection of resources from every enemy you get to shoot down or if you feel like you want to get the upper edge but have no desire to wait it our you'd have the option to pay the extra dollars for it. I also love the fact that there are no advertisements that are in the way of the gameplay and it is free to download and play. 

In terms of controls, Sector Strike is able to deliver a very touch responsive game and the graphics are pretty decent. You can get power ups, coins and square resources with every enemy you get to shoot down. Power ups provide a shield for a single hit. Each power up collected gives you an upgrade on your fire power from rocket, laser, and circling shield drone, all of which get activated in that chronological order. But as mentioned if you get hit you loose all of them instantly and will have to work your way up again to get them back, unless you have another passive ability upgraded that enables you to store a power up. You also get to collect coins in the form of gold sparklers and square resources which are needed for a higher upgrade and for the passive ship abilities and skin changes. The trick to get through a game is to really focus on avoiding all of the kamikaze ships and the bullets which are slow moving enough to get around and shoot them down before you find yourself backed up to a corner. 

Here is what Clapfoot has to say about their game Sector Strike:

Gaming overall is quite smooth and quite entertaining, yet challenging enough to keep you hooked on it for hours. I personally got hooked cause every sector of the game always keeps me feeling that I am so close to finishing this sector, I just need to be mindful of the bullets and be smart at which ships I should shoot down first. It really is a game that'll keep gamers preoccupied for a long period of time at least till your wait is over and it's time to board that plane to head on home.

Till Next Time...
