A game with the look and the feel of Hook Champ with the ability to flip gravity at the tap of a button - I have just described Gravity Runner, a new release from distinctly named developer, We Are Colin. The unique gameplay makes the game fun and the heft of 50 missions gives you a ton of gameplay. Sometimes games like these rely too much on automatically generated terrain but this game gives you developer created levels that take each and every object placement into account...
Finally, an iPhone 4 exclusive game, Flip It! Gyro, has made it through our email doorway. This game uses the specific capabilities of the iPhone 4, such as the gyroscope, for all of its gameplay. While it’s not used to amazing effect, it’s nice to see it being used at all...
A jigsaw puzzle on an iPhone? Check. A well made jigsaw puzzle game for the iPhone? Check again. Somehow d' ART combines interesting paintings/drawings with a fantastic interface to make a great jigsaw puzzle game for your iPhone despite the devices lacking screen real estate. In fact, the interface works so well that it almost makes the jigsaw puzzles too easy to solve...
Is Geometrix an action game? Is it a puzzle title? Does it belong in the list of free apps rather than the paid ones? Only one of these questions deserves a whole hearted “yes,” which is disappointing to say the least. With a collection of three different mini games, Ravenhawk Interactive delivers an overall bland, boring title which doesn’t particularly excel in any specific categories...
Word jumble mania! While it’s certainly not an entirely fresh concept, Drewse concocted their own little spin on a nearly timeless classic puzzle format, along with a couple of twists and turns. There’s something to be said for inexpensive, straightforward titles, and Jumbled hits the mark as far as world puzzles go. Sure, there might already be an avalanche of similar games, but this isn’t just a rehash of Hangman or a crossword puzzle, but something pretty entertaining...
NinJump is the newest creation out of prolific developer, Backflip Studios. In another nod to freemium gaming, you’ll find the ad-supported NinJump on the App Store for the very low price of free. You do have the option of removing the ads for a buck but the iAds are fairly unobtrusive and playing with them should not cause you any issues. This game makes Ninjatown: Trees of Doom seem slow and outdated…and I really like it...
40 levels, 8 stages, 4 difficulty levels, head to head mode, ranking systems, and unlockable achievements are all part of the latest title from Kongzhong Corporation’s, Ninja Chicken. Sounds pretty promising, right? Well, unless sorting samurai chickens into their corresponding color coded squares is your idea of a whopping great time, this one falls flat pretty quickly...
Searching for the next in depth iPhone or iPod Touch game, chock full of levels, music, unique characters, power ups, and various attacks? Looking for a massive story line, reminiscent of a Final Fantasy title, rich in multiple character arcs and a literal library of enemies and scenarios? Well, Just 1 Level surely isn’t it. But before we all go bashing the next release from Dragosaurus, let’s take a much closer look...
