Lost Mummy is no Temple Run

jmcclain0129 — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 13:47:35 +0000

No this isn’t a Temple Run App remake, it doesn’t even require a chase sequence like you see in the Temple Run App and there are no Crazy Birds flying through the air in hopes of demolishing something including themselves. But this IOS app has a lost mummy, who knows why it is lost? Maybe its bandages are too tight so its sense of sight, smell and sound (albeit from beyond) have been greatly diminished. Who cares either?

The truth is it doesn’t even matter. What really matters is if the Lost Mummygame app is cool to play on your Iphone, Ipod or iPad.

The objective of Lost Mummy is to get the mummified corpse back into his coffin. Of course, the fun is trying to navigate the mummy past all of the obstacles in the process. To aid in your quest, you are given a select number of spherical objects per round. Jump on them 3 times and they will detonate, destroying or at least moving the crates so that you can cross over to the other world.

Thankfully the in app controls are simple enough to understand. Left and right arrows lead you in the respective directions, whereas a jump button obviously allows you to jump. However, do note that the mummy you control cannot jump high, which means you will have to push and jump on objects to get past stages.
Graphics are nothing worth boasting about. While not quite cartoonish, Lost Mummy uses the type of faux 3D graphics commonly found in online flash games.

The Lost Mummy app game is just your typical old school side-scrolling platform game and is available in the apple iTunes store for $0.99

Pros:

• Gameplay is simple to understand and learn.
Cons:
• Tutorial/Instructions are not clear and hard to understand.
• Game not quite innovative or original.

Freaky Jump App Review ricochets off the doodle jump bounce game

jmcclain0129 — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:53:31 +0000

Freaky Jump

Yet another app riding on the success of Doodle Jump’s bouncing game system, Freaky Jump injects some new concepts that hardly come across as creative but breathes fresh life into the genre.

Screen SHot | Game Action | Freaky Jump

To start off, Freaky Jump follows the same concept of bouncing off platforms and advancing to the top. However, the difference lies in the fact that Freaky Jump does not consist of one infinitely long level where your objective is to get a high score. Instead, you are required to reach a certain height before moving on to the next level. In short, stages and levels replace a free jump mode.

Screen Shot | Freaky Jump | Game Action

Add-ons such as propeller caps and rockets are also present in Freaky Jump. However, a magnet is also available to further boost high scores. Springs found in Doodle Jump and other similar games can also be found in Freaky Jump, giving a slight boost to gamers. However, unlike in Doodle Jump, players are unable to shoot projectiles in Freaky Jump.

Screen Shot | Game Play

Freaky Jump requires players to complete all the stages in one “world” before moving on to the next. While the concept of levels and stages in a traditionally open-mode genre is rather fresh, it soon becomes stale for levels are virtually identical to each other with the obvious reshuffling of tile placements being what sets them apart. With the completion of each level, stars are given based on the points accumulated, but they hardly do anything to bolster game progress.

Achievements are also available for fanatics, but that is hardly anything to fuss or rave about. It is insignificant as it does not contribute much to actual game play.

Pros:

Level system instead of infinite mode.
Slightly different from run of the mill jumping games.

Cons:

Levels are not very varied. Only background and slight platform changes.
Not much incentive to continue playing the game (e.g. unlockable content)

Barrel Toss App Review for Game Carrots by Slapapp

jmcclain0129 — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:55:18 +0000

The objective of the game is simple, knock the barrels out of the hangar by launching crates at them before the freight doors come crashing. It sounds easy, but when the game decides to mash things up a little by adding obstacles to block the way as well as lowering the number of crates you have, things start to get tricky.

ScreeenShot | How To Play | Has Advertisement

To start off, the game places a varying amount of barrels near the hanger door. You are given a certain amount of crates to shoot at the barrels to topple them overboard before the doors close. The game ends if you run out of crates or if the door slams shut. Why you have to do so is not explained, but nevertheless the game provides good entertainment.

ScreenShot | Game Play

In essence, Barrel Toss is one of those “high score games” where your objective as the player is to accumulate as many points as possible. Graphics are delivered with what is reminiscent of early 3D games, with crude edges and slightly pixilated details. Controls consist of a directional pad and a shoot button, which are very simple to maneuver.

Points in the game can be accumulated to purchase additional weapons, so players are not limited to shooting mere crates. This brings an element of surprise to the game as the hidden weapons are not made known at all. Think of it as a lottery, but without knowing the prizes.

ScreenShot | Weapons Selection | Can But Coins To Improve Weapons

One negative aspect of the game would be that there is no limit to where your control pads can take you. You can move out of the hanger to the abyss beyond and continue trudging towards the nothingness and nothing will happen except maybe a few glitches.

ScreenShot | No More Weapons Happens To Soon

But either way, as a free app, Barrel Roll is a must to download. Say goodbye to boringly long waits for the bus, or sluggish train rides.

Pros:

Easy controls.
Unlockable weapons.
Simple to learn and master.

Cons:

Prone to glitches.

Flingy

Ryan Johnson — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 20:40:22 +0000

Aptly named Flingy, the new climber game by Cogniflame Pty Ltd is a love story that uses physics and momentum to propel the plot. In this game Mrs. Flingy has been abducted and placed high atop a seemingly insurmountable climb. To rescue Mrs. Flingy you’ve got to ascend vertically using only your rockets, grapple, and momentum.

Unlike other endless climbers where you automatically ascend upward or have the ability to bounce and leap, Flingy requires you to use a grapple to cling and fling yourself from sphere to sphere in order to make progress. This is no easy task. To invoke your grapple all you have to do is touch the screen. Touch on a specific sphere to connect to it and touch anywhere on the screen to let go. When you clamp on to a sphere you twirl around. The sooner you release yourself from a sphere the more momentum you’ll carry to the next one. In order to climb high you need to perfectly time your release over and over and over again. The slightest mishap can cost you valuable momentum, rendering you to a complete stop.

There are a variety of spheres that can both help and hurt you. Some fill your jet packs with fuel, igniting your rockets, sending your spinning with tons of momentum, some expload to give you a nice boost upward, helping you skip ahead a couple of spheres, and others do nothing to assist your momentum, they just provide a temporary place to connect.

Flingy is a cute game that has potential. One thing that stands out to me is that it definitely takes some getting used to before you’ll be good at it. I find myself getting stuck quite a bit mainly because it’s really easy to have your momentum stopped if you connect to a sphere wrong, and if you connect to a sphere that doesn’t provide momentum then you’re pretty much toast. If I could change anything about the game it’d be to energize it a bit with additional momentum boosters, and perhaps a faster pace of play. I like the overall idea of the game, and the challenge it presents, but at times it seems a little bit frustrating because of how easy it is to get stuck and how there really isn’t much you can do to get unstuck aside from falling to your doom.

Pros:

Challenging, pretty fun once you get the hang of it
Can be pretty addicting at times

Cons:

Is pretty easy to get yourself stuck
Could use some additional bonuses and a faster more engaging pace of play

Requirements: iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad; iOS 3.0 or later

Jungly Jump

Ryan Johnson — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:02:00 +0000

Jungly Jump is a physics based strategy game involving Squaty and Spikey, you’re friendly neighborhood rabbit and porcupine. The two of them are hungry and to get dinner they shake the fruit trees and then hurl themselves high into the air to grab their prize. Squaty the rabbit has all the hops and uses them to leap from branch to branch, climbing higher and higher in the tree. Spikey stays put on a teeter-totter and when Squaty gets high enough in the tree Spikey signals him to leap onto the teeter-totter hurling Spikey high into the air so he grab dinner for them both.

Created by MEDL Mobile Inc., Jungly Jump is a game based on strategy, velocity, and angles. Unlike typical physics games where you commit to an angle and then just draw back a slingshot as far as you want before you launch, Jungly Jump requires you to not only pick an angle, but to tap the screen while Squaty is moving. To get the velocity that you need for your launch angle to be affective you’ve got to time Squaty’s launch perfectly. This added wrinkle makes the game more challenging than one might expect at first glance.

To advance past levels you need to collect enough fruit to move on. Earlier stages are quite basic, and after a few goes you’ll get through them fairly easily. It’s not long before the patterns of fruit become more difficult to navigate, and in addition become littered with inedible items that can both help and hurt. Coconuts serve as a barrier that ricochet you away when you touch them, honeycombs must be knocked down like a wrecking ball and can’t be penetrated with a single launch, cactus function like Velcro and when Spikey hits it he sticks, and worms that when touched cause the surrounding fruit to go rotten. These pesky preventers are not shy in where they lye, so for players that advance deep into the game, extremely challenging physics puzzles await you.

Thankfully there are some bonus items in Jungly Jump that can help make collecting fruit around the pesky bugaboos a bit easier. Mushrooms act as springboards and repel you in the opposite direction when you hit them, anti-gravity sends you ascending upward when you touch it, bombs take out pesky honeycombs that block your way, triple power, grow power, and bomb power all give you an extra try, as well as enhance Spikey’s effectiveness in getting knocking down barricades and collected large amounts of fruit.

Jungly Jump looks cuddly enough to be a 3 year olds best friend, but beneath it’s child-like exterior is a flat out tough game. Offering 12 different environments and 100 levels, you’re sure to get many hours and days of playability. Currently I’m only 17 levels deep and am already scratching my head wondering how to get past. Determining where in the tree to launch Squaty gets increasingly difficult as you get further in the game. At first I could launch him from the top over of the tree over and over again and would find a way to get past each level. That’s not the case later in the game because it becomes more and more critical that you take multiple angles to attack a puzzle. Many times you need to finesse your way in through a small window. Jungly Jump is a nice new addition to the physics based puzzle genre and without a doubt is worth the download. It’s well developed, has nice graphics, the puzzles are all very different, and it’s without a doubt a solid challenge for even the most skilled physics puzzler.

Pros:

Friendly theme makes it great for both kids and adults
Game is very challenging and has lots of levels
Open Feint global leaderboard so you can see how you stack up
Pretty addictive once you’ve gotten 10 or so levels deep

Cons:

Might be a little hard for people 10 and under

Tomb Rush

Ryan Johnson — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:40:36 +0000

In the action puzzler Tomb Rush the pharaoh’s tomb is under attack by a relentless swarm of monsters and it’s your job to protect the pharaoh’s remains at all costs. Your only means of defense is to kill anything and everything in site, but the problem is the weaponry at your disposal is limited. Starting with as little as a wall mounted crossbow you must pluck monsters with precision shots. Your propensity to kill determines the length of your game and the number of defense mechanisms at your disposal. Strategy, timing, and coordination are key to earning big points and successfully protecting the tomb.

Created by Volcano Computer Tech Co., Tomb Rush is an action puzzler that at first may seem a bit blah, but after you get the hang of it quickly becomes a very fun to play and tough to put down game. The entire game takes place inside of the pharaoh’s tomb. A flood of one-track minded portly cavemen charge into the tomb, in no particular order, in an attempt to seize and conquer the tomb. You can unlock up to 7 “powerful properties”, like trap doors, candles that function as flame throwers, spring loaded platforms, lightening esque bolts of energy, and more to defend the tomb. As mentioned you start with only a crossbow, but quickly earn new properties based on number of kills. When you see a hovering key pop up you’ll want to touch it ASAP as it activates a new property.

The more properties you earn the better. They essentially serve as back up defenses for when monsters slip through you first, second, third, etc. lines of defense. When monsters approach just touch any of your properties to use them. Some take longer to “reload” than others so you want to make sure you time their use perfectly. The crossbow and the spring board fire pretty rapidly, but the trapdoor and candle take a while to reload and if you set them off too early the monsters will blow right past them unscathed. A great fall back weapon is the pharaoh power. If you touch the pharoah and then swipe your finger across the screen it sends a bolt of lightening jutting toward your target. It takes a while to use this one though so you pretty much only want to use it as a last resort.

Tomb Rush is a super simple concept that somehow became ultra addictive the more you play it. At first I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it because I played it a half a dozen times or so and thought to myself the game was kinda boring. But apparently that’s only because I stunk at it. Once I got the hang of it and started unlocking more and more weapons and defenses and was mowing down wave after wave of monsters I thought to myself this game is pretty sweet! After getting on a roll and unveiling a hard to kill boss that ushered in newer and uglier monsters I was hooked!

Tomb Rush builds on itself as you play and demands 100% attention to detail and precision timing. Monsters come at you straight on in the early stages of the game, but eventually they come at you from multiple angles. Having the ability to defend against waves of enemies from multiple angles for sustained periods of time is key to scoring big. Once you get to that point in the game it’s extremely hard to put down. If you enjoy simpler game concepts that are challenging and you can turn to at a moments notice from some instant gratification, then you’ll really enjoy Tomb Rush.

Pros:

Offers good replayability; really addictive once you give it some time
Great game for both children and adults
Games can last seconds to minutes depending on skill level; great time waster

Cons:

No onine global leaderboard or social media integration

Croak!

Ryan Johnson — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:16:43 +0000

The life of a tree frog seems like utter bliss. All you’ve gotta do is climb trees, spit out some ribbits here and there, and snag unsuspecting insects to fatten your belly right? Wrong! When you play Croak! the life of a tree frog seems like utter chaos. Try bobbing and weaving around striking venomous snakes, sticky tongued frog leg loving chameleons, and nimble lemurs as you fire your tongue at tasty winged tidbits. It’s no simple task and certainly not The Life of Riley.

Created by Rather Odd Computing, Croak! reminds me a lot of Sticky Licky, except with a number of twists that make it a bit more interesting and difficult. Typically in games like this you just fire off a sticky tongue and real in insect after insect, while trying to avoid things like bees and other prickly buggers. Well, in Croak! you’ve got to catch food, but you need to avoid random frog eating predators that appear docile and then strike when you least expect it. To avoid getting eaten you must preemptively tilt your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad to hop your frog out of the way. The further you get in the game the more sly and unpredictable the frog eaters become.

If you’re a fan of 2D arcade games then you’re going to enjoy Croak! The challenge within the game leans less toward the difficulty of capturing the insects and more toward remaining aware of the imminent strike from a predator and you’re ability to swiftly avoid their attack while remaining efficient at capturing your dinner. The quicker you can master the multi-tasking nature of the game the further you’ll advance. As you become better you’ll unlock more and more themes, tree frog species, dinner options, and blood thirsty predators.

After a few goes with Croak! it was clear to me that I’ve got to put in a little more practice before I can sit atop the Open Feint global leaderboard. The game comes across as being really easy until you’ve waded a few levels deep, after that it begins to bear teeth. I zoomed through the first eight levels in a matter of minutes, but soon after hit a bit of a snag. My three lives dissapeard in the blink of an eye as it seemed the snake had figured out my every move. I elected to adopt a float like a butterfly method, keeping my frog constantly on the move. This worked for a few more levels, but after a while it mattered not. The snake operates under a cloak of unpredictability and strikes swiftly. Once you’ve reached a certain point in the game luck is out the door and you’ve really got to stay focused on both dinner and the snake, timing your every move perfectly in order to earn points and stay alive at the same time.

Overall Croak! is a very fun arcade style game. The first half a dozen or so levels feel a bit mundane, but after that you’ve really gotta step up your game. It’s fast paced and great for picking up and killing short windows of time. The graphics and sounds are decent and the game becomes quite addictive once you’ve unlocked a few frogs, predators, and themes. It’s definitely a great value for the $0.99 price point and well worth the download.

Pros:

Lots of levels, insects, predators, and frogs
Addictive, fast paced, and good replayability
Good value for the price

Cons:

Starts out a bit easy, need to get 8 or more levels deep for it to get interesting
Feels a bit repetitive over time, playing in small bursts is key
