Overview

Pitfall! is a modern take on Activision's classic 1982 game, refurbished and revamped for Android platforms. The former Atari 2600 bestseller has been reimagined with state-of-the-art graphics and a fresh gameplay format, transforming it into an exciting 3D endless runner.

Graphics

The original game underwent a significant visual overhaul, making it suitable for today's gaming standards. The new Pitfall! boasts 3D environments and polygonal models, a stark contrast to the original flat 2D graphics. The jungle setting is lush, vibrant, and full of intricate details that make the gaming experience more immersive and visually appealing.

Gameplay

While Pitfall! shares similarities with other popular endless runners like Temple Run, it remains unique with its own set of features. The player controls an explorer who navigates through a perilous jungle, reminiscent of an Indiana Jones adventure. The game requires the player to swipe on the screen to jump over obstacles or slide under them, and tilt the device to collect treasures scattered along the path.

Despite the game's robust graphics and engaging gameplay, it might disappoint fans of the original game as it bears little resemblance to its predecessor. The gameplay, although enjoyable, may feel too generic and heavily reliant on its iconic name.

Verdict

Pitfall! is a commendable endless runner that offers great graphics and a few pleasant surprises. However, it could be seen as overly reliant on its renowned title, offering an experience that, while solid, can feel somewhat generic.

Pros

  • Stunning 3D graphics and detailed environments.
  • Engaging endless runner gameplay.
  • Contains pleasant surprises and unique features.

Cons

  • May disappoint fans of the original game due to drastic changes.
  • Gameplay can feel generic despite unique features.

Miscellaneous Optimizations for Android

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BROADCAST_STICKY: Allows an application to broadcast sticky intents. These are broadcasts whose data is held by the system after being finished, so that clients can quickly retrieve that data without having to wait for the next broadcast.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
