Rescue Team: Planet Savers

Review

“We‘re broadcasting live from the coast of California, where the Philgidane Glacier is collapsing! Experts from the Geological Centre have learned that a sharp climatic change caused the air temperature to rise dramatically and melt the glacier! The glacier is melting at a tremendous rate, flooding the area. Several nearby cities are calling for Rescue Teams!”

It’s up to you to help the folks in the region that’s flooding due to the melting glacier. The first Level requires you to complete four tasks: Drain the Flooded Areas (6), Repair the Store, Remove the Chunks of Ice (3) and Clear the Way for the Locals (5). Your Rescue Team begins at the base tent; a road leads away from your base and branches off around the level. However, the road is strewn with obstacles, resources, potholes and cracks, and the road is also flooded in some areas.



You will also find some buildings which are in need repair.  Once repaired they can give you some resources, depending on the type of building, or if you repair a shop you can trade resources for various items. Which type of building will depend on what resources you currently in need. Sometimes there are no buildings, just an empty plot on which you can construct a new building. The types of buildings you can construct are: Saw Mill (wood), Pet Shop (bones), Gas Station (fuel), Burger Joint (food) and House (cash). Repairing a Shop will allow you to buy certain items and resources, although for most things it will cost you some resources and maybe workers in order to collect, build or perform other tasks.

Completing all tasks will allow you to move forward onto the next level. After a level is completed, you’ll gain One to Three Stars depending on how well you performed. There are three modes in which you can play: Easy, Hard and Relax. Playing Easy and Hard will be against the clock, where you must complete the level before the time limit runs out. The time limit is divided into three sections:  Gold, Silver and Bronze Stars.  To complete the level and walk away with three stars, you must complete the level before the time limit reaches the gold star; you’ll gain two stars for reaching the silver star and one star if the limit reaches the bronze star.

Collecting Stars will allow you to visit the store on the world map, were you can spend your stars on bonuses.  There are four categories in the shop: Swift as Wind, First Aid, Turbo Mode and 911. These bonuses range from three to ten stars each.

Rescue Team: Planet Savers is a fun, relaxing game which can be played by all. There are Fifty levels and Fifteen (according to the Guilds under Extras on main menu screen) bonus levels to play. In Extras you’ll also find Guides, Warehouse, Characters, Concept Art and Music for you to check out as you progress through the game.

In the options you’ll find settings for Sound and Music Volume Sliders, Full Screen, Show Hints and Cursor.
