Mexican studio 1 Simple Game brings us The Lullaby of Life, an adventure about the creation of the universe, which mixes music and puzzles.
Many gamers, myself included, tend to have a lot of biases about games that come out on mobile. We always think that they’re inferior titles to those that come out on consoles and PC, or that they’ll be riddled with microtransactions, but that’s not always the case. For example, we have the game from 1 Simple Game and Midwest Games, which came out exclusively on Apple Arcade four years ago. We’ll meet again before a musical adventure full of puzzles, quite amusing and with a very striking artistic section
A small particle that gives life
In The Lullaby of Life, we are a small particle moving through what appears to be space. This, through music, gives life to other small particles, and these in turn fulfill the same purpose. With this strange premise, a beautiful story emerges that serves as a metaphor for the creation of the universe and living beings.
Music moves the world
At the playable level, we are faced with a musical adventure that focuses its gameplay on puzzles. Each particle emits a different musical note, with its respective sound wave. Each sound wave is decisive to advance in the different scenarios. Most of the puzzles will ask us to chain a series of musical notes, so we will have to find the particles that emit these sounds, or even make quick combinations of sounds to overcome some puzzles. It is something strange to understand, but at the controls it is a lot of fun.
In the first stages of the adventure, these puzzles will be very easy to complete, but as the levels progress, they will become increasingly difficult. But above all, the developers have developed the game so that it is not frustrating and abandoning. Therefore, we may encounter difficult situations, but they will never make us frustrated or unable to advance. This was also done to make it a title that can be played by the whole family.regardless of age. A success, without a doubt.
A universe in creation
The Lullaby of Life is a very pretty title. The artistic aspect, the colors that each of its settings is imbued with, everything makes us see beautiful images. It is true that it is not a graphic marvel, and it is clear that it is a video game launched on mobile devices more than four years ago. But it is not something I need either. The Series X title runs great and at no point did we encounter any bugs or technical issues..
On the sound side, the game has some nice melodies that accompany the adventure in a very successful way, but that will not remain in the story either. It should be noted that The Lullaby of Life does not have any type of voice actor, since the different particles do not emit any type of voice, only music. There is also no narrator to narrate the events that occur, which wouldn’t hurt the video game at all..
Conclusions
The Mexican studio 1 Simple Game brings us to our Xbox a musical adventure highly recommended for the whole family. A pleasant title, perfect for a few afternoons (it lasts about 3 hours), which will keep you on the edge of your seat thanks to its ingenious puzzles and its beautiful graphics and artistic design. It should be noted that the title was conceived as a mobile game and its budget was not very high, but despite this, it is a totally enjoyable video game, both for adults and for the little ones in the house. The lullaby of life is not revolutionary or life-changing, but it does not have to be.
