Gameplay 95%
Touchdown Hero is a Top-View Football game where the objective is to get a Touchdown on each field you play in. You control the player by touching and dragging your finger across the screen, he will always follow your motions, and you have to be quick to avoid all the defense players from the other team that will do everything they can to stop you.
Graphics 82%
The game features blocky 8-Bit Pixel Art, it is colorful and you won’t have any trouble distinguishing the different elements on the screen, but it does look a way too low-res sometimes, even for a game of this type. There is a huge defense player that looks too much like just a regular rival sprite, but displayed bigger, and it may look a little too ‘square-ish’
Production Quality 87%
While Touchdown Hero is a simple pick-up-and-play game, endless arcade style runner, it does have some extras that keep the action fresh for some play throughs. The field changes quite a lot, from a spring green look, to an autumn yellow, to snowy white, a gray concrete look, and there’s a very run down field that looks as if it had about 10 games in a row.
Value for your Money (85%)
Touchdown Hero is free to download in Google Play and the App Store. There’s always a banner advertising in the bottom of the screen, and when you lose, you can choose to watch a video ad, or give up and go to the Title Screen, in which case you’ll see a full screen banner ad. It is kinda intrusive, specially since most plays don’t last very long, so you’ll see about 3 banners in less than a minute, but still, the game is pretty addictive and you’ll put up with it for another try.Launch Video
