Description: Log Challenge is an arcade game where you will have lots of fun in a ‘quest for diamonds’ actively trying to collect as many diamonds as fast as you can moving through a dangerous plank while avoiding heavy swinging logs. The faster you are, the more points you earn. Pick the diamond at the other side of the plank before the countdown ends. Another gem will appear at the other side, be careful with the three swinging logs they will move each time faster increasing the difficulty. The game ends if you’re hit or if you fall out of the plank. Will you be able to score more points than your friends? A must-have action game.
Review: The idea of Log Challenge is pretty simple. You need to walk from one end of a log to the other collecting as many diamonds as you can, all the while avoiding being hit off the log by swinging crystals. There is also a Christmas theme which is nice with way more lights and festive things to enjoy, but the gameplay never changes style. There are sadly a few things that put me off recommending this. The first is that you need a lot of room to play this as there are no other locomotion methods so that will put most people off straight away, but the other is the asking price. There is nowhere near enough content to justify the £6.19 asking price, but if you have the play space and see it on sale for a quid or less I think it will be worth a go.
