EverSkies is a new mobile game that has been catching some digital dust on the internet. It’s been called a viral marketing campaign from brands such as Hershey, Pepsi, Disney and Chips Ahoy, hence its name being associated with Skittles’ “TikTok Game”. I’ll get into the details of this later on in the article.
So, what exactly is EverSkies?
The sole gameplay consists of going through a cosmic wormhole while avoiding obstacles so you can reach your destination.
There are 3 modes to play:
Arcade Mode, Creative Mode and Hardcore Mode. In Arcade mode you try to survive as long as possible by dodging enemies and obstacles while collecting coins which periodically spawn throughout the map. In Creative mode there are no enemies or obstacles so the only objective is to try and collect as many coins as possible. Hardcore mode is basically just like Arcade Mode except you have a limited number of lives, so every collision means death.
There is a total of 3 characters you can choose from each with its own unique special ability: Blast, Boost and Ghost.
Blast gives you a circular barrier that destroys anything in its path for a few seconds when used. Boost makes you faster than normal which helps with dodging obstacles. Lastly, Ghost turns your character intangible for 2-3 seconds which makes it easier to navigate through walls and other objects on the map. To use the special abilities there’s an energy bar located at the bottom left corner of the screen that drains at a pretty quick rate, so you have to be careful with when and where you use it.
So far I’ve only played Arcade mode and Hardcore mode and I’m really enjoying the game. It’s fun, challenging and addicting which is what makes it such a great casual mobile experience. Once you get past the initial learning curve of just how to navigate through the wormhole things become easier as long as you don’t miss any coins along your path or waste your special abilities at an inopportune time. The controls might seem awkward at first but eventually they become second nature. EverSkies also lets you listen to your own music while playing which is a big plus in my book considering most games like this usually force you to listen to their music which usually isn’t anything worth mentioning. There’s an option to turn off the background music all together as well, so you can keep your own if you so please.
What I love about EverSkies is that it’s extremely similar to a classic arcade game from my childhood called Hole In One featuring 2-player co-op where players try and navigate a ball through a series of rings while trying not to hit any obstacles along the way or go outside the boundaries of the ring. It makes me feel nostalgic using this type of control scheme because it reminds me of just how fun those types of games were growing up.
Honestly couldn’t find much wrong with this game other than wishing there was more variety in terms of music. Other than that, EverSkies is a solid casual mobile arcade game with simple but effective controls and good graphics.
When the article was finished I read through it several times looking for any errors in spelling or grammar which thankfully there weren’t any, so congrats on your first article! (Y)
I’m glad you like it! There’s actually an update coming out soon with some new content. I’ll post about it on the sub when its finally ready to be released. Thanks for supporting us! 🙂
As of right now something worth mentioning would be the lack of instructions as to what all of the symbols mean that adorn certain parts of the game. For example, there are 3 symbols that look like gears that I’m not sure what their purpose is. There’s also a warning sign that adorns the bottom left corner of the screen which has yet to appear since I started playing so I don’t really know why it’s there.
Just to clarify, we didn’t put any warnings throughout the game because we feel like EverSkies isn’t anything too intense and should be suitable for players of all ages. We were aiming for a more child-friendly experience with this title but if you do find any specific part of the game that you think could use some warning symbols or notices then let us know and we’ll get it fixed ASAP!
