Red and Blue Adventure

Why We Picked Red and Blue Adventure

There is no inventory in Red and Blue Adventure worth managing, which keeps the pace up and the menus empty. Difficulty comes from the layout rather than the controls, so a bad run is usually a bad route. There is no inventory screen to learn, which keeps the pace where it belongs. It holds its place because the route is the reward, and there is more than one worth taking. The page's own numbers: 3,179 plays, 4.1 out of 5 from 115 ratings, and 281 of 500 on the arcade shelf.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Directional keys only, which keeps the hand in one place.
• Finish the stage rather than clear it, because most of these do not ask for a full sweep.
• Retry immediately rather than stewing; the level is short and the pattern is fresh.

Editor’s Note

A phone works, but the jumps want the precision of a keyboard. Adventure sits between arcade and puzzle in pace: slower than a reflex game, faster than a board.
