This design choice completely changes the gameplay and strategies for winning, plus you get a much better sense of what's going on in the house at any one time. This ramps up the difficulty so the player still feels a sense of urgency when playing, but you no longer have to switch from room to room just to find the action the action is playing out in real-time on the thumbnails. The camera feed on the room icons are presented in monochrome and have added noise/static and low frame rates. The room switches are much faster than in previous iterations. When you touch a video feed, the feed from that room instantly appears on the main screen. In place of the old room icons, which were just drawings representing the rooms, we now get video thumbnails that actually show the current camera feed from the other rooms. THE NEW ROOM ICONS ARE, LITERALLY, A GAME CHANGER. The true highlight of the interface, however, is in the room icons.
The thumbprint image on the button is not just cool-looking, it also serves as a clear indicator of how to play for first-timers. The old colored trap meter is now integrated directly into the trap button which changes to red when it's time to trap an intruder. Firstly, the trap button is now a color-changing icon and it's a brilliant touch. The layout is instantly recognizable for fans and retains that nostalgic feel, but is much easier to use. The design of the interface is where the game really shines. THE INTERFACE IS FAMILIAR BUT HAS BEEN VASTLY IMPROVED After a few days and many hours of play time (even on the go!), here are my first impressions: Somebody actually figured it out, and this might be the version that brings the FMV classic back to modern gaming devices.Īfter conducting an interview with the developer, Tyler Hogle, I was offered a copy of the prototype to try for myself.
How could something of this magnitude be made by one person with no budget and no fanfare? About three minutes into watching the video, my doubts began to fade away. After all, Night Trap's complicated structure and immense amount of simultaneously-playing video made it a programming nightmare. I must admit, when I first started watching the video claiming to show a prototype of Night Trap on a phone, I was very skeptical.
We got our hands on the mobile prototype for the FMV classic Night Trap. Night Trap for Mobile: Yes, It's Real and It's Spectacular
