Skylanders: Cloud Patrol App

The developers of the smash hit game Skylanders:Spyro’s Adventure have now released a new Skylanders game, Skylanders Cloud Patrol
for the iPhone and iPad.

 

In the game, you become one of the Skylanders Characters, and take to the skies in a flying Skylanders Gunship, and help rid Skylands of a gang of escaped Trolls. Skylanders: Cloud Patrol is an arcade shooter type game, very different to Spyro’s Adventure. To play you tap the screen to shoot at trolls or slide your finger across targets, to create combos to knock out the trolls. The bigger the number of trolls you can target in one area, the more points are awarded, and the more loot is collected!

In the game you progress quickly through a large number of short levels, by clearing the Skylands platforms of trolls. They pop up from behind rocks and shields, fly in using jetpacks and jump in across the screen.

 

You have to quickly tap the trolls to knock them off the platform or touch and drag several trolls at the same time, for a high scoring combo. As you progress through the levels the abilities of the trolls become more challenging to overcome. There are wizard trolls that send spinning blue balls, that also must be destroyed. Some trolls set up big guns that fire orange rolling balls, that will also destroy you if they are not fired at.

At the same time, there are red spiky bombs whizzing around the screen. If you tap a bomb by mistake, or pass your finger through a bomb will doing a combo, your game is over. If too many troll cannons blast your ship, the game is over. There are also bonus magic items which you come across while completeing levels. The first is the Ghost Swords which give the player more rapid firing abilities. For any of you that are familiar with Skylanders, you will also recognise Anvil Rain and Time Twister.

The aim of Skylanders Cloud Patrol
is to progress quickly through the levels and unlock gems. As you unlock new levels you will earn coins, which you can use to upgrade your magic items, to make them more powerful. Level progression and acquiring gems also allows you to unlock new Skylanders. These Skylanders are the same familiar characters from Spyro’s Adventure, with their own individual story and appearance.

If you already own Skylanders Characters you can use your web code card to unclock these Skylanders and Magic Items in Cloud Patrol. However, all the Skylanders fire the cannon in the same way, you just get to collect your set within the Cloud Patrol game. The only advantage to having a range of Skylanders is that each figures element can be untilized for daily bonuses. As you are battling you only see the back of your Skylanders Figure anyway.

The Game Skylanders: Cloud Patrol cost s $0.99 and is rated 9+ Frquent/Intense Cartoon or Fantasy Violence.
