![]() The house add-ons seem random, and I'd almost rather earn cash-points that could be spent to pick my own upgrades it would be more engaging. The high scores board isn't very compelling, as my current game has lasted for hours with no end in sight (remember that difficulty curve?) so if I want to be on the scores list, I'll have to intentionally die. Personally, I didn't mind too much, though I did get impatient a few times in the early levels. The difficulty ramp is very gentle, so keep that in mind if it's not to your liking. I have very few complaints about Stoneloops! of Jurassica. Weirder yet, both are incredibly hard to use.for me, anyway.

From their, you shoot it at a different spot in the line. The other mode is appropriately called "Grab-n-shoot." You aim at a rock on the field, and when you "fire," you "grab" it and it is placed in your cannon. This is classic Zuma-style gameplay, where you shoot rocks from your cannon into the approaching lines. The first, Classic, is my preferred mode. Bonus levels are mixed in, too, and they offer a nice break from the ordinary gameplay.īetter yet, there are two game modes to Stoneloops! of Jurassica. It's kind of random, but I don't mind it. There's also a simple achievement system, and a peculiar, separate system that rewards your progress by.giving you upgrades to your house?

Powerups appear periodically, and they help you defend against the onslaught of rolling rocks by changing colors, causing explosions, and unleashing other special effects. This is all fairly common gameplay, but Stoneloops adds some extras to the mix. When you create a string of three or more, the stones explode. ![]() To destroy them, you fire colored stones from the bottom of the screen the stones are then inserted into the chain. A string of multicolored stones rolls from the starting point on the map, following a winding, looping path to the end-hence the name "Stoneloops."
