Survival Arena: Tower defense in bite-sized servings (Review)

We’re celebrating ten years of AndroidGuys with a ton of giveaways!

Back in 2012 when I played Kingdom Rush for the first time on my iPad, I really got into tower defense games. I really liked the general idea behind them, but I always had to make sure that I had enough time for a session, since I didn’t like leaving a session midway.

Since then, a lot of games have come and revolutionized the way we play on mobile devices, focusing primarily on making levels short enough so that we could always enjoy them on the go without worrying about times. This is the main idea behind Survival Arena: a tower defense that doesn’t ask for half an hour of your life, but instead offers bite-sized levels that can be played at any moment.

Developer: Game Insight
Price: Free

Setup

Being a complicated game, it’s no surprise that the game features a very lengthy tutorial. From the moment you start it, the game guides you into a short, easy battlefield where you can test out the controls and get to know the mechanics of the game. From turrets to skyshards to chests, the game covers basically everything there is to know about your battles.

However, when the tutorial ends and you are dropped into the game’s main interface, you might be overwhelmed. There’s SO much stuff going on that it’s a bit daunting at first. As you get used to it, navigation becomes easier, but the cluttered interface is definitely one of the low points of the game.

Overview

I don’t know about you, but when I think about tower defense, I picture waves of enemies going through paths while I’m frenetically trying to stop them from getting to my base by scattering turrets, upgrades, and special attacks throughout the battlefield. These can be a bit long as waves get more complicated but, at the same time, I get more resources and thus have a powerful arsenal under my control.

Survival Arena is similar in the sense that you still have to defend your base, called an extractor. However, games are not long at all. You will find yourself repeating the levels as you complete tasks, which in turn give you chests that yield upgrades and skyshards.

Also, the game focuses heavily on high scores, counted by the amount of enemies you kill in each run. It even compares your scores to players all over the world. Since levels don’t have a clear ending, then the scores reflect who deployed the best strategies in order to survive as much as they could.

In order to destroy said enemies, the game gives you different turrets. These include cannons, ice towers, mortars, and similar. In a lot of tower defense games, these turrets can be upgraded in the battlefield so that they are useful on later waves. However, Survival Arena also lets you upgrade your arsenal between battles.

This is a smart move since battles are short, so you might not play for enough time to get the necessary resources to upgrade. To upgrade them, you need to get cards specific to every weapon in the game, and then spend skyshards to complete the transaction.

To add a multiplayer aspect to the game, Survival Arena also includes a clan mode. Here players from all over the world can join and obtain valor together to rank higher on the leaderboards and earn loot in the process. What is valor, you say? It’s something like a reputation level, which you can only earn by playing duels against other players.

These duels are online battles against other players in which you have to defend your base, but you also need to attack your rival in order to win. These play exactly the same as normal duels, but, apart from worrying about enemies, you also have to think about your own units in order to succeed.

General Impressions

For the most part, the game manages to pull off effectively the short tower defense mechanic. Battles are very fast-paced since you know that sooner or later, your base will fall, so you need to move very quickly to delay is as much as you can.

However, if you think that this game is like other freemium games, in which you can do stuff without paying (you just have to wait a long time to do so), you are going to have a bad time. Survival Arena does a really, really good job in halting your free progress in almost every possible way.

Actions such as the opening time of chests, the high amount of cards needed to upgrade armor, and tickets needed for some events are just a few examples of how the game stops your progress on purpose. All of these events have one thing in common: they can be eliminated by giving up your skyshards. And, of course, there’s a very nice and flashy shop to buy skyshards in exchange for your beautiful dollars.

Thus, even though you can download Survival Arena for free, and there are some other shortcuts (like watching ads for opening chests quicker), you cannot get that far without opening up your wallet. If you are comfortable with that, though, then you are in for a treat.

Graphics and Sound

As previously said, the interface has a lot going on at the same time, which makes it confusing and intimidating at first. Once you figure it out, things become a bit easier, but it is customary for Survival Arena to show you a lot at the same time, so you have to get used to it in order to enjoy it.

For the rest of the game, Survival Arena uses a 3D, cartoonish, colorful look for their sprites, very similar to what Supercell did with Clash of Clans, and, to a lesser extent, to what Ironhide made with Kingdom Rush. It works really well for this kind of game, and it doesn’t tax the device as much as other more graphically-intensive games.

Regarding sound, the developer has made sure that almost every action has a unique sound effect accompanying it, which makes the game feel very polished. Also, there’s background music at all times, with a very dramatic tone to it. You know, exactly the kind of music that you would expect from a game that deals with battles and war.

Conclusion

Survival Arena combines tower defense with a Clash of Clans-like progression to create a game that can be enjoyed in short bursts. Since microtransactions are a big part of the game, several of the main actions that you can do in this game rely on skyshards, which can be bought for real money. However, you start with a healthy amount of them, which should be enough to decide if you want to invest yourself in the Survival Arena world. If you do, the frantic gameplay and impressive amount of options and modes will keep you entertained for a long time.

Download and install Survival Arena from the Google Play Store.

Keep your eyes safe with Velocifire Computer Gaming Glasses (55 percent off)

If you spend a good amount of time looking at a computer screen, your eyesight can be seriously compromised without the right level of protection. To ensure your eyes stay safe, opt for a pair of Velocifire Computer Gaming Glasses, which are currently 55 percent off on Amazon. These gamer glasses are specially designed to help protect your eyesight, no matter how long you stare at a screen.

The glasses specifically help protect your eyes from blue light, which has the strongest frequency of the visible spectrum, right next to UV light. Blue light has a short wavelength and high frequency that make it highly penetrative, able to reach as far back as the retina in your eyes. With prolonged exposure, blue light can cause unpleasant side effects including digital eyestrain, headaches, dry eye, fatigue, and even insomnia.

These Velocrifire glasses feature an amber lens treatment that reduces high-frequency blue light, UV light, and glare emitted from many digital devices. They are able to block 65 percent of harmful blue light and 100 percent of UV rays. The result is decreased eyestrain, reduced headaches, and an improved your sleep cycle, which also means increased productivity at the office and more time to enjoy your favorite devices.

The glasses are crafted out of lightweight, durable frame materials that fit ergonomically with your face and head. In addition to feeling good, they look good with a structured frame that compliments various face shapes. The FDA-approved glasses have an antireflective coating, which further helps to reduce eye strain and make looking at a digital screen much more comfortable. In addition to providing protection against short-term health impacts, they also help prevent your chances of developing more serious, long-term problems such macular degeneration, cataracts, and complications from improper melatonin production.

The glasses come packed sturdily, and come with a free rugged black glasses box and a cleaning cloth to ensure they stay scratch free and easy to see through. These Velocifire Computer Gaming Glasses normally retail for $40 but are currently marked down to $18 on Amazon, saving you $22 (55 percent).

DJI AeroScope is an invisible license plate that knows when drones go off limits

Why it matters to you

DJI says the AeroScope system adds security while respecting the privacy of drone operators.

Drone giant DJI has now turned proposals for a sort of invisible drone license plate system into reality. DJI AeroScope is a new system that uses existing drone hardware to gather details on a nearby drone’s location, reporting those details back to authorities. Exactly which details are broadcast will depend on local laws, DJI said. The company unveiled the system in a presentation in Belgium on Thursday, October 12.

While just announced to the public,  AeroScope was installed at two international airports in April, where DJI continues to test and evaluate the system, and it is available for installation at additional locations.

A drone is wirelessly linked to a controller — AeroScope uses that same link to share information on the drone with authorities. DJI said the system can broadcast, location, registration or serial number and telemetry data, which includes altitude, speed, and direction. When a drone powers on, the AeroScope software can immediately display the drone on the map.

AeroScope is the actualization of a white paper DJI presented in March suggesting an invisible license plate system that both allows authorities to respond to trespassing drones and respects the privacy of drone owners. DJI affirmed the research with a second presentation in September. The program, DJI stressed, does not broadcast over the internet but to local receivers, in order to help maintain privacy for drone owners. This helps ensure, according to DJI, that drone data isn’t recorded into a government database.

Drone owners will be prompted inside DJI software to choose which details are broadcast as part of the program. If local laws require identification, that setup process will change based on those regulations. DJI  said that if a jurisdiction doesn’t require it, then personal identification will not be part of the transmission, excluding the registration details from the location information.

Because the system uses existing hardware, AeroScope doesn’t create substantial costs, DJI said. But, that also means, currently, AeroScope only recognizes DJI drones. Analysts estimate two- thirds of the civilian drones in flight today are part of the DJI system. DJI says that other drone companies could also transmit the same information with software configuration without any additional hardware, which would allow the program to work both on new and existing non-DJI drones.

AeroScope is designed for installation at areas where drone presence is illegal or a safety concern, such as at airports. Just last week, a drone collided with a passenger airplane in Canada. DJI drones already have geofencing built into the app that notifies pilots when they are nearing a restricted area, including during temporary restrictions.

“The rapid adoption of drones has created new concerns about safety, security, and privacy, but those must be balanced against the incredible benefits that drones have already brought to society,” Brendan Schulman, DJI’s vice president of policy and legal affairs, said in a statement. “Electronic drone identification, thoughtfully implemented, can help solve policy challenges, head off restrictive regulations, and provide accountability without being expensive or intrusive for drone pilots. DJI is proud to develop solutions that can help distribute drone benefits widely while also helping authorities keep the skies safe.”

Hide your kids, hide your Wi-Fi! Vulnerability found in WPA2 encryption

Why it matters to you

All devices with Wi-Fi capability are potentially exposed to hackers.

Hackers can access all modern Wi-Fi networks through a crack in the wireless security protocol WPA2, according to new research published on Monday from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium.

The Wi-Fi hack — aptly named KRACK (Key Reinstallation AttaCK) — means the vast majority of devices and wireless internet traffic are potentially susceptible to malicious attacks and eavesdropping. If your device supports Wi-Fi, it is probably affected, warns Mathy Vanhoef, the KU Leuven security expert who discovered the weakness.

“Attackers can use this novel attack technique to read information that was previously assumed to be safely encrypted,” Vanhoef wrote in his report. “This can be abused to steal sensitive information such as credit card numbers, passwords, chat messages, emails, photos, and so on. In general, any data or information that the victim transmits can be decrypted. Additionally, depending on the device being used and the network setup, it is also possible to decrypt data sent towards the victim (e.g. the content of a website).”

No, Mom, this isn’t the end of the internet. But it does mean we’ll need to update our devices as soon as possible.

Many websites today run an additional level of security beyond WPA2 (note the padlock next to our URL in the address bar above) so personal info passed through these sites is private. Websites without that padlock should be seen as open to the public until KRACK is patched.

There’s also a level of physical security in that a would-be hacker has to be within proximity of the network. We’re not all suddenly exposed to the everyone internet.

According to the report, KRACK affects Android, Linux, Apple, Windows, OpenBSD, MediaTek, Linksys, and other operating systems. Some have released patches to address the vulnerability.

Recognizing how widespread the vulnerability was, Vanhoef and his team informed the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) who notified all susceptible vendors on August 28, 2017.

“We’re aware of the issue, and we will be patching any affected devices in the coming weeks,” Google told The Guardian.

“We have released a security update to address this issue. Customers who apply the update, or have automatic updates enabled, will be protected,” Microsoft said.

Security standards have been hacked in the past but this time there’s no new, more secure, and widespread standard to fall back on. So don’t freak out, but be cautious — check for padlocks in your browser’s address bar, update your devices ASAP, and, for god’s sake, use a VPN.

Keep track of your kids with the first narrowband network smart tag from Samsung

Why it matters to you

Thanks to Samsung’s new Connect Tag, you don’t have to worry about losing your loved ones or your possessions.

We get it — being a parent is hard. Not only are you expected to feed, clothe, and love these tiny humans, but you also have to keep an eye on them at all times, which sometimes is easier said than done. Luckily, Samsung is here to help — literally.

Keep tabs on your kids (or rather, a tag), with Samsung’s new Connect Tag, which is said to be the first mobile product that leverage narrowband network technology (NB-IoT) to track your loved ones and possessions. In order to connect Internet of Things devices, narrowband networks use cellular communication bands. Such bands are meant for devices that don’t need much data or power, but do need to be securely connected to the internet for location services. And that’s where the Samsung Connect Tag comes in.

The little tag claims to provide location data whether you’re inside or outside using GPS, Wi-Fi based positioning, and cell ID. But more impressively, the tag is said to last a whopping seven days on a single charge. So even if you go several days without noticing that you’ve lost your wallet (or your child), rest assured — you’ll still be able to track your dearly beloved.

Samsung envisions users attaching the tag to a backpack, to a dog collar, to your purse, or just about anything else whose location you’d want to stay aware of. You can also activate the tag’s geofence feature so that you’re made aware anytime your child, pet, or object goes (or is left) beyond predetermined limits. Alternatively, you can set the tag to send a notification anytime the tracked individual enters a certain location — that means you’ll know exactly when little Jimmy walked into school this morning. You can also request the tag’s location at any point by way of your smartphone, or set up notifications so that the tag regularly alerts you as to its positioning.

Promising to be both dust and waterproof, the tag is quite diminutive at just 1.19 cm thick and 4.21 cm wide. You’ll be able to see the tag in person if you attend Samsung’s developer conference later this week, and the unit is expected to go on sale in Korea before making its international debut over the next few months. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Best Digital Photo Frames

Show off your favorite pictures with a digital photo frame.

Wood and glass photo frames can be had for relatively cheap, but they come with an issue: you can only display one picture at a time. What happens if you have thousands of digital photos taken on multiple devices? What about if you went to all the work of converting your old photos into digital format? A digital photo frame is a logical answer, and we’ve rounded up the best of the best right here.

NIX Advance

Available in 8-, 10-, 12-, 15-, and 18.5-inch options, the NIX Advance has a 1,024 x 768 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, and an IPS panel for great viewing angles. A motion sensor built into the frame can tell when you enter and leave a room, and will display accordingly (great for saving energy). An 8GB thumb drive is included, and the frame has a USB port and SD card reader.

This frame has a 4.5-star review on Amazon with more than 3,000 reviews, and it was chosen as a runner-up to the best digital frame over at The Wirecutter:

Nixplay’s Nix Advance omits Wi-Fi to reach a much lower price but keeps everything else we like about our top pick; it also comes in a wider range of sizes.

Prices start at about $80 for the 8-inch display, and reach about $210 for the 18.5-inch display. If you don’t need a Wi-Fi connection — i.e. if you don’t mind plugging storage directly into the frame — this is a great option that works with JPEG, MPEG-4, and AVI.

See at Amazon

Pix-Star

The Pix-Star (starting at about $200) is a 15-inch frame complete with a bunch of extras that make the price much more reasonable. It has a resolution of 1,024 x 768, a 4:3 aspect ratio, and an LCD display with bright LED backlight. Plug in a device via USB or use the SD card reader to transfer photos over to the 4GB of internal storage, or you can send your pictures directly to the frame via Wi-Fi. If you’d like a bit of variety, you can also connect to popular image-hosting sites, like Flickr, Google Photos, and Facebook.

Nearly 1,600 people have left reviews on Amazon, and the frame currently sits at a 4.5-star rating. TopTenReviews also gave this frame a solid rating in their review, stating:

With practically perfect photo reproduction and a lot of flexibility to display your photos the way you want, the Pix-Star FotoConnect is definitely among the best digital photo frames on the market. After initial setup, you can add photos and video from anywhere in the world, and the long warranty inspires confidence that this frame will last a long time.

For a frame with built-in storage, Wi-Fi capability, and support for direct delivery of photos into the frame, the Pix-Star is a solid contender. It is compatible with JPEG, BMP, PNG, and GIF file types.

Nixplay Seed

Nixplay undoubtedly makes some quality digital frames, and the Seed (starting at about $170) is perhaps its premier device. The 9.7-inch display comes with a 1,024 x 768 resolution, and the IPS panel offers wide viewing angles. To save energy, a sensor will tell the frame to not display photos when no one is in the room.

The frame sits at a 4.5-star rating on Amazon with nearly 400 reviews, and The Wirecutter chose it as the best digital frame, saying it the review:

Its 10-inch display produces pleasing color and contrast in a 4:3 aspect ratio that’s perfect for smartphone photos. Setup is quick and foolproof, and built-in Wi-Fi lets you import photos from your social media, email, or cloud accounts. And a clever cord/stand design lets you position the frame in either portrait or landscape orientation.

A Nixplay account can be taken advantage of, offering 10GB of cloud storage for your photos; if you’d like to have pictures throughout your home, you can sync the storage with up to five frames. For a bit of variety, the Seed comes in four different colors, including black, blue, mango, and mulberry. The Seed is compatible with JPEG and PNG file types.

Nixplay Iris

For something with a more traditional frame, available in burnished bronze, silver, and peach copper metal finishes, the Nixplay Iris (about $200) is an attractive option. The bezel around the eight-inch, 768p IPS display is much wider than the other options, and is tilted in to give a classic look. The frame currently has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon with more than 100 reviews, and TopTenReviews reviewed it favorably, stating:

It tied for the very best display, making each photo look wonderful, in any lighting, from any viewing angle. It also looks great itself while making your photos look great. While most frames are plain black plastic, this one adds a little flair to your home with its color selection.

The Iris can’t play video, but you can send it photos over Wi-Fi, and you can directly access photos from popular cloud storage and social media sites. A sensor can tell when it should be displaying photos and when it should be conserving energy, and you get access to 10GB of free cloud storage from Nixplay. The Iris is compatible with JPEG and PNG file types.
