CreaVures Gameplay

The moment you begin CreaVures, you’ll find yourself jumping from platform to platform trying to solve puzzles and survive ferocious attacks from untamed creatures. You will soon learn that the movement controls are on the left and the jump and special ability controls are on the right. However, there is another option as you progress through the stage.

Once you have reached the second level, you will unlock Pokey where you will be able to swap CreaVures using a “slide to” motion button near your jump button. Unlocking a new CreaVure is definitely cool as it also increases the challenge for your puzzles because you need to ensure both CreaVures successfully makes it to the end.

During your progress through the game you will also encounter multiple creatures that have gone ferocious, that will attack you without cause and your task is to make sure you calm them down. You have special techniques for each CreaVure you control but you must aim carefully and time the attack or you will miss.

Each object such as the flowers, vines, trees, plants are colored in a way to adds to the magic in the game. You will see energy or light rise from various plants that is just cool looking.

CreaVures Sounds

Perhaps the long awaited talk isn’t about the Gameplay or Graphics yet the magic in the music and soundtrack of this app. We haven’t heard something so calm and so smoothing since Osmos and is surely one of those apps you want to listen to at night before bed.

This app game has some type of magical music that just puts players into a calm state even if you might be frustrated with a stage or maybe something else. It’s soundtrack is just beautiful.

CreaVures Round-up 

CreaVures is just an magical experience from the start till end. It’s gloomy dark forest may confuse you at the beginning but once you begin the game you know that there’s a sort of magic where it makes it hard for players to put down. It’s a platformer game, so don’t expect a fast runner action, however, a calm relaxing platformer for you to solve puzzles to.

One of the best features that CreaVures has to offer is their beautifully designed CreaVures, and you can control up to 5 different ones as you adventure through the forest. Their CreaVures are all uniquely designed with their own special abilities that often make players love them because they are kind of adorable.

It’s beautiful environment will have you enjoying the scenery as the music and soundtrack puts you at easy and relaxes you while you enjoy the game.
