Bouncedown: iPod touch/iPhone App Review

Bouncedown is an app which is currently at the very top of the 'Top 25' Free Downloaded apps. Personally, I have no idea why Jagex have made it free though.

This app is great, It's very addicting and has already given me hours of fun when I would otherwise have been bored. There is a vast selection on which controls you use which is great because it means more users will get to play the way they are suited to.

Though there are not many cons, one has to be that there is no online leaderboard - I question why but hopefully there will be one in an update soon.

I can only tell you all, Get this app because it's so much fun! Maybe not absolutely everyones cup of tea, but I'm sure it isn't just me who finds this addicting! I've never had so much fun moving sideways on platforms that are moving upwards towards spikes. Once you set a high-score though - You just wanna beat it!

The User Interface is nice, and the design is very fun and suites the target audience - however I am one 16 year-old who looooves the design. The animated background featuring the blue blob character thing really sets it off and looks great!

Overall I think the app is great (as you can probably tell!), and I apologise for the vast amount of Exclamation Marks in this post - but the app deserved them ;]

App Review - Donut Games Bargain Bundle?

So this post is basically just to review 3 games that I recently downloaded, which 'Donut Games' are giving away for free from the App Store!

Rat on the Run is a game that allows you to control a Rat that goes from side to side. The aim of the game is to collect all the pieces of cheese, and to do this you can Jump, and choose which direction to go. However, the only ways of changing direction are to either hit a wall or walk into a stop-sign. At stop-signs, you can choose either Left, or right. There are numerous obstacles, and as the game goes on you will encounter even more difficult ones. Some of these are Fire, Spikes, and also some strange green ball-like object swinging from a platform! Hitting these will cause you to lose a life - unless of course you picked up armor, like the Helmets which are available, which lets you take one hit without being killed.
The game also includes an 'Arcade Play' mode, where you have a time-limit in which you must collect as much cheese as possible. This mode is okay, but personally I did not find it too fun - and i'll be honest, I hardly played the mode. One more thing I quite like about this app is that it has a 'bonus game' called 'Rat on a Scooter' in which you must bounce from platform to platform (on a scooter) to collect peanuts. This is actually quite fun, as you must power-up your jump just right.
Overall I probably wouldn't buy the game, but I enjoyed it and for free it is an absolute must-have!
 
The second game they are giving away for free is Spikey's Bounce-Around, in which you play as a spikey ball that sticks to walls, and you have to fling him in an attempt to Smash jars containing butterflies - thus saving the Butterflies. I found this game incredibly fun, and have done many of the levels. They aren't too hard, but some take a while to get done. You have a certain amount of shots in order to clear a route so that the jars can fall down to the ground and smash. Simple, yet fun. As you progress through the levels you are given more and more challenging levels - and more obstacles are included such as Bouncy walls, Wasps (which you must try your best to avoid), and spikey balls which hover and - on hitting them - you will fail the level.
I enjoyed this game and would recommend it. For free it's definetly worth getting, and i'd probably even pay money for it!

The third and final game that I will review is Cows in Space. This game is quite simple, and is similar to 'Spikey's bounce around', in that you have to fire things around. However in this game, the aim is to knock star-balls into the cows (that are aimlessly floating around space) in order to send them back to earth. I haven't played it much, but I must say that the simplicity of it actually adds to the fun - and it's stupidly addicting. There is not much to do in the game though, except just the levels.
I think the game is good and i'd recommend you definetly download it whilst its free. If it wasn't free i'd probably buy it - but only if it was a small pricing (of around £1).

Bad News Google

As the one of the best search engines comes up with a great new idea, it gets shut down! After about a week after Google announced a little something called Google Voice, instead of huge celebration, they get a huge let down. Google announced the application Google V a few days ago, with the intentions of maybe bringing some iPhone users to use this Google service. But instead, they get nothing. Apple declined the application in hopes of spreading it worldwide after the most populated country of China received their iPhone earlier this week. Some say it was the bad boy AT&T who made Apple decline the app because it would decrease their income on their very expensive plans. On top of the no go on the application, Microsoft, their arch rival signed a deal with Yahoo, another top hitter in the search engine industry. Microsoft now has Bing as well as Yahoo on their side of the table, and on top of all that, the Google stock itself is at its lowest its been all month. So please Apple, let Google have their limelight and let the application go through, and leave AT&T to themselves and go to Verizon.

Thanks for reading,

Nick
