This game is really something amazing.

The sound of the seagulls flying overhead along with the music that sets the mood for a calm ocean experience is so subtle but so well done. The particle effects and the design is so simple but so polished and the game plays really well.

I spent about 25 minutes playing Zgullz and in that time I came to grips with the delicate balance of having to catch fish, but to also use it as a monetary resource and man, it was super frustrating to see those seagulls steal my hard-earned fish. I became obsessed with building defence systems that protected each fishing hut. I tried different tactics when I could see that the ones that hadn't worked before needed to be changed. The atmosphere that this game creates and the ease with which you are able to be immersed in it is testimony to 2 things: 1) The game design was really well thought out and the system and the balance of the economy was absolutely perfect. 2) The atmosphere created by the mix of the cawing of the seagulls, the calming music and the simple but captivating graphical elements.

I spent some time while planning just marvelling at the clouds and the little streaks that flew out of them. I applauded the brave seagull who made it through my defences. And most of all, I really enjoyed it.

Well done.
