What is it? / What does it do?
7×7 is a game by Kiip, Inc. that features a simple, yet addictive goal, and continues to look beautiful while you play.
The object is straight-forward, but the game is incredibly addictive. The goal is to create lines of 4+ same colored blocks to keep the board clear for as long as you can. The more lines of 4+ blocks that you clear, the higher your score. You receive points for consecutive lines cleared (Combos), and can reach higher levels after you hit a set number of cleared lines.
Design Highlights:
- Use of the Action bar that properly follows the Android Design Guidelines.
- Holo icons throughout the application
- Clean Roboto font throughout the game
- Holo toned color for the blocks in the game
- Looks fantastic on 7″ and 10″ screens
Design Requests
- A dark theme for playing at night
Feature Requests:
- Ability to play multiple games at the same time
- Abilty to change difficulty levels
- Ability to share scores
Final Thoughts:
Games are something that we have never covered previously at Holo Everywhere, as most don’t follow the Android Design Guidelines closely enough to mention. 7×7 is obviously an exception as the developer incorporated a beautiful holo theme, that still made for a cleanly designed, addictive, and fun game (that also happens to be free).
