Hybrid arcade and logical game in which we control anthropomorphic dominoes. Our task is to create chain reactions that trigger further tricks; however, before we do this, we need to get to grips with the individual charts and watch out for the countless pitfalls lurking in front of our guests.
No One Can Stop Mr. Domino! is a hybrid of a logic and arcade game developed by Artdink.
Mechanics
In No One Can Stop Mr. Domino! the action is shown in isometric projection. In the course of the game, we take control of one of several anthropomorphic domino tiles, wreaking havoc on six obstacle courses. The hero constantly flies forward, and we can only maneuver sideways and either slow down or accelerate him - as the title suggests, Mr. Domino cannot be stopped. During the subsequent laps we get to know not only the maps but also the location of traps. It's worth remembering about the protagonist's limited endurance, which we can supplement by gaining power-ups scattered on the tracks; if it drops to zero, we have to start from scratch.
When we are ready, we can start to leave standard, inanimate domino tiles behind us, which, after completing a loop, begin a chain reaction and activate the tricks present on the boards. The fewer chain reactions we need to activate all the tricks, the more points we get - so the best solution is to have one long domino effect.
The game takes place on six boards, such as a casino, store shelves, an amusement park, or even city streets. The main characters are: Mr. Domino (running at standard speed), Miss Domino (preferring to jump), Bruce (running at dizzying speed), Pierre-Domino (slow tile with little endurance) and a representative of an alien civilization.
Technical aspects
Three-dimensional visuals of No One Can Stop Mr. Domino! adopt a cartoonish style. The game is accompanied by catchy sounds emphasizing the light atmosphere of the competition.
