<p>These days, keeping up with games can be a full-time job. So how do you separate the signal from the noise, the wheat from the chaff, the Temple Runs from the Temple Jumps? Allow us to help by regularly selecting a game You Should Play (http://www.macworld.com/tag/youshouldplay/). </p><p>It's rare to find a mobile game that's as simple, refined, and free as Gree's new side-scroller, <strong>El (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/el./id911214619?mt=8)</strong>. El is an effortless take on the side-scrolling flying game with beautiful artwork and a powerfully moving plotline. </p><p>You play as El, a young boy who wakes up in a mysterious, "forgotten prison," and "flies off in search of purpose" with the help of a magical umbrella. The game uses simple touchscreen mechanics—to open the umbrella and lift El into the air, you tap and hold the right side of the screen. To manipulate the wind and create a draft, you swipe side-to-side on the left side of the screen. Although most levels can be completed without much draft-work, it's a useful technique if you're interested in avoiding tricky obstacles and minimizing damage to your character.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2835565/you-should-play-side-scoller-el-is-all-about-the-powerful-storyline.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
