Game-screen

Solo noble is the today's game review. Remember that solo board with marbles, you used to play with during those hot summer afternoons? It used to be one of my favourite board games during my childhood and am sure most of you would identify with me.

But now, neither do I have that board nor the marbles, but I just found an application that lets me play this classic game on my 5800. Offscr Technologies are building on their reputation of offering the best applications/games for the s60 fifth editions devices with yet another adaptation of board game to a touch screen device.

Installation

For some reason this game was pulled off from Ovi store from where I had originally downloaded the game but fret not we do care about our readers and we make sure that we source them the links to the best applications/games available over the web. So we are hosting the demo version of this game and our readers can download the same from here . The installation file is around 350 Kb and as with most apps/games from Offscr Technologies, installation is simple, fast and you can start playing in no time.

Features

Game over, I couldnt solve it :(

Solo Noble has a very simple and fully functional interface which is very similar to other games/apps from Offscr Technologies. There are only three buttons: help, play and exit which are very much self explanatory.

Since the gameplay involves moving marbles over each other, touch screen implementation is never easy with tiny marbles and small boards owing to the screen size limitations of mobile devices. However Offscr Technologies have mastered this art and the developers have delivered a near perfect adaptation of the board game on to a touch screen application. One can easily play with finger touch without having to rely on stylus for game-play. The developers of this game have to be lauded for providing the optimum size of board and marbles making finger touch play a possibility.

There is a tiny timer in the lower left corner that shows the time elapsed since the inception of the game.

Pros

1. Simple and easy to use interface
2. Fully optimized for finger touch browsing

Cons

1. There is no option to pause the game

Verdict

Offscr Technologies have yet again developed another excellent adaptation of a classic board game with their Solo Noble. With features like finger touch gameplay and a no non-sense interface, this is one of the best board game clients for 5800. If you are a fan of Solo Noble, this game is a must on your 5800s and for the first timers of this game, this is a good client to learn a few tricks of this game on your 5800s. So go ahead and download this game to enjoy hours of engrossing game play of Solo Noble.
