Mad Dex v.1.5.8

Mad Dex is a hardcore 2D platformer for Android, in which a little red hero fights his way through dangerous levels to rescue his beloved from the clutches of a monster. The game is all about precise jumps, quick wall-running and finding a safe route through spikes, saws and other traps. The short levels are easy to play through several times, but even a single misstep often sends the character back to the start.

Mad Dex features

• The character moves across platforms and walls, overcoming obstacles with jumps and sharp changes of direction.
• The levels feature spikes, rotating saws, chasms and moving elements, so you’ll need to memorise the route and time your moves carefully.
• If you make a mistake, you can quickly restart the stage: this pace is ideal for repeated attempts without lengthy reloads.
• The challenges gradually increase in difficulty, testing your reaction times first and then the precision of each movement.
• The story objective remains clear throughout the game: the red hero must reach the kidnapped girl.
• The minimalist graphics do not clutter the screen with details, meaning that hazardous objects are clearly visible even on a small display.

Advantages of the game

• The controls are easy to get the hang of: the main actions boil down to moving and jumping, but you need to time your moves carefully to progress.
• Instant restarts keep the pace going. A failed jump doesn’t result in a long wait, but rather an opportunity to correct your mistake.
• The traps are positioned so that memorising the sequence helps you navigate tricky sections with greater confidence, rather than simply relying on chance.
• The high-contrast visual style makes the character and the deadly obstacles stand out against the level’s background.
• Short gaming sessions are ideal for mobile play: you can complete a single stage on its own, without having to set aside much time for a lengthy gaming session.

Drawbacks of the arcade game

• The high difficulty level can quickly become tiring: certain sections require a series of precise actions with no room for error.
• Touch controls do not always provide the necessary precision, particularly when you have to combine a jump with moving along a wall.
• You’ll inevitably have to replay the same section, as failing at the final obstacle forces you to re-play a part of the level you’ve already completed.
• The minimalist presentation may seem too simple to those who expect a mobile game to feature detailed graphics and a rich storyline.
