Review of a WVGA Game called Totem Star Lite

A WVGA Windows Mobile game can be hard to find these days. The one reviewed today though is a real gem, and best of all it’s completely free. Totem Star Lite is a easy but amazing puzzle game for the Windows Mobile platform. Totem Star Lite does it’s thing perfectly on the WVGA devices, and as an avid Windows Mobile gamer who loves the new WVGA devices, and games that work on these phones I just had to do a review of this new game.

This WVGA game(and other resolutions) is obtainable for free via the developer website – Touch Dimensions. Where you can find the game as a .cab file for your phone. The game in cab format can be either downloaded directly to your device or copied over via Windows with Bluetooth or Active Sync. This piece of software needs you have Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 placed on your Windows mobile 6.1 or 6.5 device. You can get it by searching around in the search engines and the Microsoft website.

This WVGA compatible game that some time ago was known as “Dream Catcher Lite” but for unknown reason was later renamed to Totem Star Lite. In this game you lead the destiny of your fellow tribesmen through the stars or so according to the creators of this game. The game is set in the Native American desert sunset. The goal of the game is to draw patterns around stars of similar color or shape. You can also make combination in as the authors say – ‘an infinite variety of patterns’ which in the real world will is quite finite. But there are plenty combinations possible and a lot to be discovered in the game play.

Totem Star Lite does not have a steep learning curve at all, and you will find out soon that the game is much deeper as it appears to be from the start. The goal of the game is to make certain patterns from the stars that appear in the nightly heavens. The combinations can be found in the bottom right corner of the screen. Just below a totem pole that you have to fill up to have your fellow tribesmen build more buildings, which results into a new pattern and a better high score.

Sometimes a certain star color is not available and you can make combinations to force it to spawn and complete your goal. The combinations you can make in the game can be read on Touch Dimensions website which you can locate with google.

The game is fun, and keeps you busy for a long time. The background tunes are is very nice and the entire atmosphere of the game is just perfect. These days finger friendly applications and games are really hot. But because of how the game is made it’s often better to use the stylus. The patterns you have to draw can be quite small and thus your finger can be in the way. The game plays fine with your finger if you are not that bothered with getting the best high score that while playing with a finger. In the options menu of the game you can see your current best score and toggle between sounds/music disabled or enabled. Other than that it’s just a great little WVGA game that works perfectly on all devices it was tested on, QVGA, VGA, WVGA and more. Make sure you try out this great and best of all – free game.
