Well, initially I was pretty
apprehensive whether to review games featured at Indyarocks or not. It's pretty evident that Indyarocks positions itself as a social networking platform, so reviewing games featured in a social network will rob the exclusivity of my blog. However, in India you really can't ignore social networking platforms because they claim a fair share of the casual gaming bandwagon. So, I really can't deprive Indyarocks it's well deserved right of being featured on my blog. Apparently, they have also partnered with the aka 'Fx labs' to develop casual games and create a gaming community

On a wider note while playing at Indyarocks I feel pretty nostalgic . Since, they feature flash games which takes me back to my childhood when digital games started with contra and ended at F1 Racing. Their game Halloween Ride fits somewhere in this category. This one scene game is pretty decent. Based on the tried and tested storyboard of an old witch and a wizard race through other monsters on the road.
Although at a first glance it looks like an ordinary racing game but a more detailed look
game reveals that this one has been around us since early 90s, it has one car which moves in either direction and some obstacles are set up which drink up your fuel and
quite obviously, you have to save your fuel to clear a level.

The sketches have been done pretty well but the interest in the game. The concept of a Halloween wizard riding a car is new and cute but the racing excitement might have executed in a better manner.
