TA Plays: ‘Polara’ – A Runner With A Cool Twist

TouchArcade Rating:

Earlier this afternoon, Eli and I spent some time with Polara ($2.99). It’s an auto-runner with a welcome twist: color-shifting. While doing the standard platform shenanigans, you’ll also be tasked with shifting the colors of the game’s portagonist’s suit back and forth from red to blue depending on the obstacles you stumble across. It’s a cool mechanic in practice, as it adds a superb brain-twistery layer to the action.

Polara is a hit with our readers, and we’re digging it, too. If you’d like to see it in motion before diving in, go ahead — we’ve got your back. Just hit the play button on this thing below.

For a limited time, the game is on sale for 99¢, by the way.

      Do we know if it has info on the DLC, or will in the future? If so seems like a solid investment!

      "Now this will come in handy" my mind just thought that with my commando's voice

      Wow!
      I'm totally addicted by Borderlands2, thank you for the info :)

      Or I could save 3 bucks and just play the game and enjoy exploration. Just a thought

        or I could probably google Borderlands 2 map and guide and get one for free

      I thought BL2 had an in game purchase that revealed all these on the map. If so, that would be much more helpful than a standalone app on a separate device, no?

        Nope. That doesn't exist.

      Very good solid app so far! Nice UI! There's just a few things missing and a couple of mistakes. The ones I have spotted so far are on the 'Southern Shelf' map, I have noticed that the vault symbols are the wrong way around, the one at the top should be at the bottom and vice versa. Also the telescopes are missing from the same map. These are the only things that I have spotted so far :)

      Is there boss locations? Thx.

      Saw borderlands logo. Found out it was only a map app. Died a little inside.
