Cordy Sky is the second instalment of the Cordy series by SilverTree media. You play as Cordy a little robot from the previous instalment that has now crash landed on a mysterious sky planet on his way to “Planet 2”’. He meets a stranded robot called Volt and together they take to the sky and head towards undiscovered planets.

Cordy’s second instalment takes this beautifully designed platform-puzzler in a new direction, skyward to be exact. Each level starts with Cordy being propelled into the clouds, with a series of springs, launchers and jump pads to help Cordy ascend through the levels collecting gears that can be used to purchase in-game upgrades, costumes and colour skins for Cordy. Volt your sidekick (sort of) helps you out when ever your about to fall, collecting certain tokens will allow you to ask for his help when you lose you footing giving you a rocket powered boost to get you back on your feet.

Though the series seems to have been taking a new directions, its puzzler roots are not completely lost. Certain launch pads will send you into a small puzzle chamber that when completed properly will reward you with tokens to get some extras items and power-ups. Also if you played the previous instalment you would have noticed that practically all the elements from the previous game was recycled, yet its gameplay has been completely redesigned giving players a completely new experience.

With any of the Cordy titles what first captivates any player are the stunning visuals and its cleverly positioned virtual buttons which gives the controls an intuitive feel. Also with this instalment tilt and slide control configurations have been added, but the game lacks an equally and impressive soundtrack and clearly set objectives. Its soundtrack and sound effects are mellow and dull contrary to the fast passed gameplay, it has a better plot relative to its predecessor which did have one at all – even though it’s short and you’ll probably achieve the goal set by the story at one sitting, it’s still better than nothing.

Cordy Sky is a huge step in the right direction for tablet gaming, it has it flaws but once you get into it, it’ll be difficult to set your slate down. If all tablet games where this polished maybe dedicated handhelds are on their way out. You can download Cordy Sky FREE on Google PLAY for android tablets and at the App Store for iPad.
