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).
