Stranger Things 3: The Game

As the title suggests, "Stranger Things 3: The Game" is a game based on "Stranger Things 3," in which players take on the roles of two characters from the film and explore the city of Hawkins and the world behind the scenes.

Compared to the flat "Stranger Things: 1984," the graphics in this game are more three-dimensional, and the player can make full use of the two characters, using their skills to solve puzzles and fight battles. The game has many destructible objects, so just destroying them is quite exhilarating.

The dot-picture style gives the game a somewhat nostalgic feel, but the markers that tell you where to go and the blinking objects are a kind design not seen in old games.

Card Blast

The objective of the game is to create stronger poker hands by quickly lining up random cards from a moving conveyor within a time limit.

The game can be enjoyed in a variety of ways: as a single player, you can take on difficult challenges, or you can compete with other players for the top spot through the multi-event leaderboards.

Shooting Hoops.

Shooting Hoops" is a game that combines a "dirt gun," a gun used for target shooting, and basketball.

Tapping the screen causes the basketball to bounce in the direction of the gun's muzzle, and players must check their remaining ammunition and time their shot properly to clear the goal.

The controls are simple, but it is quite difficult to control the firing of the gun, and you may find yourself getting absorbed in the game in your spare time.

Teeter Totter

This is a simple game in which the player moves the two ends of a stick up and down on the smartphone screen, little by little, to avoid dropping the ball, and places it in a hole at a distance. It is easy enough to say, but it is quite difficult to make a good inclination so as not to drop the ball.

This is a game that will test your accuracy in swiping and your reflexes.
