<p>Version Reviewed: 1.05.14<br />
Developer: PlayScreen [<a title="PlayScreen on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=285032045&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>]<br />
Price as of Review: $3.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 4.5/5<br />
Size: 9.6MB<br />
Lite Version: [<a title="Match 3D Flick Puzzle Free on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=324009097&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>]</p>
<p><a title="Match 3D Flick Puzzle Screenshot [Click to Enlarge]" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2473/3896820085_7ee0b551b8.jpg" rel="lightbox[1231]"><img class="alignright" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="Match 3D Flick Puzzle iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2473/3896820085_7ee0b551b8.jpg" alt="Match 3D Flick Puzzle iPhone Screenshot" width="192" height="288" /></a>Match 3D Flick Puzzle is a creative pick up and play game which adds a few new concepts to classics like Bejeweled [<a title="Bejeweled 2 on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284832142&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>].  The objective remains the same, score as many points as possible by matching three of the same objects or more.  To do this simply tap the first object and then an adjacent object, the two will swap and (hopefully) form a pair.  Like word search puzzles you need a good eye and in the case of Match 3D, you need fast timing.</p>
<p>The quicker you scout for matches the longer you&#8217;ll last in the game, once the timer reaches the end in either Classic or Survival mode, the game is over.  By racking higher combination&#8217;s and more matches at the same time, you&#8217;ll receive time bonuses.  The unique and spectacular concept for Match 3D Flick Puzzle is the completely 3D gameplay.  Rather then matching objects on a 2D surface, you have to match them on six faces of a cube.  You can even select a specific part inside the cube and look for matches internally.</p>
<p>The entire interface uses full multi-touch controls that allow you to pinch to zoom, rotate, and swipe around the cube to manipulate your perspective view.  Combination&#8217;s can be created from multiple planes making this a very intriguing game.  The graphics are excellently rendered and don&#8217;t become pixelated when you zoom in all the way on the cube.  The sound effects match the theme perfectly however a lot of people will find the background music annoying, you can easily play your own iPod music without stability problems.  The only glitches I&#8217;ve been able to find are a few touch interface glitches (unresponsiveness, etc), all of which are pretty rare and shouldn&#8217;t affect gameplay.</p>
<p>All in all Match 3D Flick Puzzle is an amazing new <em>perspective </em>on the classic match &#8216;em up gameplay concept.  For four dollars Match 3D can provide you with hours of fun &#8211; definitely check this one out.  This app will not be deleted off my iPod for a long while.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 9.2/10 &#8211; A whole new gameplay concept.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 7.8/10 &#8211; My judgement is a little biased here as I&#8217;ve played so many match &#8216;em up games, however Match 3D has trapped my attention.</p>
<p>Graphics: 8.5/10 &#8211; Excellently rendered and friendly on the eyes.</p>
<p>Sound: 6.4/10 &#8211; Not the greatest.</p>
<p>Technology: 9/10 &#8211; Excellent multi-touch interface.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 8.7/10 &#8211; Can be very addicting.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.3/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements: (Note to the developer!)</p>
<ul>
<li>Tilt controls to manipulate cube</li>
<li>Multiple background music tracks</li>
</ul>

<p>Version Reviewed: 1.2.1<br />
Developer: Readdle [<a title="Readdle on the iTunes Store" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=285035419" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>]<br />
Price as of Review: $4.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 3.5/5<br />
Size: 3.8MB</p>
<p><a title="PDF Expert iPhone Screenshot" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2520/3893753401_f477466d48.jpg" rel="lightbox[1216]"><img class="alignright" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="PDF Expert iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2520/3893753401_f477466d48.jpg" alt="PDF Expert iPhone Screenshot" width="192" height="288" /></a>PDF Expert is a very professional PDF document reader though it mutli-functions as a small wireless harddrive, and other document readers.  Unlike other PDF reading or eBook applications such as Stanza [iTunes Link], PDF Experts allows for nearly full support on PDF&#8217;s.  This means that you can read a PDF and it will look almost exactly like it would on your computer, I mean, on a 3.5&#8243; screen of course.  Although you can pan, pinch to zoom in and double tap to focus using the iPhone&#8217;s multi-touch capabilities.</p>
<p>The interface is extraordinarly simple, but very effective.  PDF Expert acts as a thumbdrive, you can place your PDF&#8217;s or other files on your iPhone via wi-fi or your free 512MB of storage on <a title="Readdle Homepage" href="http://readdle.com/" target="_blank">Readdle</a>. When reading you can create bookmarks, search the document, read the entire table of contents, send the document to a friend and even rotate your device to landscape mode and read in a different orientation.  If you get interrupted and leave the app it will save your reading progress and open the next time.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a few glitches in the app that can make for an annoying experience, a few noteworthy ones as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>When double tapping to focus, it generally zooms too far and cuts off text.</li>
<li>No menu in landscape mode.</li>
<li>Crashing unexpectedly.</li>
</ul>
<p>All in all PDF Expert is still an exceptional reading application, with the next update hopefully this business app will become a gem.  This one will be staying on my device.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Usefulness: 7.9/10 &#8211; Being able to read PDF&#8217;s and other documents without Internet access is a great concept.</p>
<p>User Interface: 8.3/10 &#8211; Pretty awesome, some glitches that knock this down some points.</p>
<p>Price: 7.1/10 &#8211; $4.99 is suitable.</p>
<p>Technology: 8.5/10 &#8211; Great job on online syncing and of course the Wi-Fi access.</p>
<p>Execution of Concept: 8.7/10 &#8211; Pretty good job on Readdle&#8217;s part.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.1/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fix noted glitches.</li>
<li>Quick access to Table of Contents when scrolling through documents</li>
<li>Ability to search titles and contents when scrolling through documents.</li>
<li>Access to popular online office web apps such as <a title="Google Docs" href="http://docs.google.com" target="_blank">Google Docs</a> and <a title="Zoho Office" href="http://www.zoho.com/" target="_blank">Zoho</a></li>

<p>Version Reviewed: 1.2<br />
Developer: Mediatonic [<a title="Mediatonic on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=320013961" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>]<br />
Price as of Review: $0.99<br />

<p><a title="Must Beat Birds iPhone Screenshot" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2557/3882328018_996ee88a1b.jpg" rel="lightbox[1155]"><img class="alignright" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="Must.Eat.Birds iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2557/3882328018_996ee88a1b.jpg" alt="Must Eat Birds iPhone Screenshot" width="192" height="288" /></a>Must Eat Birds is a new game with a phenomenal pick up and play paradigm.  The goal of the game is to defend your picnic from birds but launching cartoon monsters at them through a slingshot.  In either Mission or Challenge mode this sounds incredibly stupid but it&#8217;s really incredibly good fun.  Mediatonic did a great job on the theme of the app, I was expecting some awful stuff when I read the game description but the first impression and beyond really got to me.</p>
<p>The mission mode contains 18 levels, most of which will leave you incredibly frustrating and you&#8217;ll receive the &#8220;oh-so-close&#8221; addictiveness.  An average level will take several tries and there&#8217;s enough gameplay material to have you playing for days.  Unfortunately you don&#8217;t get any skip levels which means quite a few will throw away this game instantly, and I can&#8217;t blame them, although cheating it does restrict the gameplay to the players who just can&#8217;t beat certain levels.</p>
<p><a title="Must Eat Birds Screenshot" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/3882329044_d9a2777cb8.jpg" rel="lightbox[1155]"><img class="alignleft" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="Must Eat Birds iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/3882329044_d9a2777cb8.jpg" alt="Must Eat Birds iPhone Screenshot" width="192" height="288" /></a>Gameplay is a little bleak, pretty much you&#8217;re tapping and sliding, there&#8217;s a lot of angles and strategy.  The rules go a little beyond just hitting birds.  If you want to earn some serious points you&#8217;ll need to take advantage of the multipliers, the moment one of your monsters has missed it&#8217;s target(s) you lose your multipliers.  This makes the gameplay very challenging, especially in some of the missions which limits the number of monster ammo you have.</p>
<p>Challenge mode is very freestyle but also very trivial, the goal is just to score as many points as possible before losing all four lives.  Unfortunately it&#8217;s a tad pointless as playing in mission mode is pretty much the same thing but more rewarding.  The graphics in Must Eat Birds are probably some of the greatest rendered cartoon graphics I&#8217;ve seen on the iPhone.  Everything is smooth and colourful, the game is meant for Japanese viewers as well which means there&#8217;s some Japanese text around the game but it actually fuels the theme.  Some people however may not like it (would recommend a Japanese or English option in settings).</p>
<p>All in all Must.Eat.Birds is a great game that&#8217;s considerably addicting and perfect to play anywhere.  I&#8217;d highly recommend picking this one up &#8211; only a buck.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8.5/10 &#8211; Pick up and play with lots of concepts.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 7.2/10 &#8211; I did enjoy it quite a bit but it&#8217;s no <a title="Trism on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284653044&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">Trism</a>.</p>
<p>Graphics: 8.6/10 &#8211; Great cartoon graphics.</p>
<p>Sound: 8/10 &#8211; Not very annoying and really fits the theme.</p>
<p>Technology: 9/10 &#8211; No stability problems or glitches.  Open Feint support.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 8.7/10 &#8211; Addicting and 18 different missions.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.3/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Even more missions <img src='http://www.iphoneappreviewer.com/wp-content/plugins/tango-smileys-extended/tango/grin.png' alt='Grin' class='tse-smiley' /></li>
<li>More gameplay modes.</li>

<p><a title="iSink U iPhone Screenshot" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2645/3873209762_d698cee7d1.jpg" rel="lightbox[1110]"><img class="alignright" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="iSink U iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2645/3873209762_d698cee7d1.jpg" alt="iSink U iPhone Screenshot" width="288" height="192" /></a>iSink U is an intuitive and interactive battleship style game. It takes the classic game and puts a whole new spin on how things work, adding new features and cool weapons to make things just that much more exciting. From the loading screen you&#8217;ll get a sense of where this game is going to take you.</p>
<p>Once you choose your game you get to choose a map to play on. This doesn&#8217;t overly affect gameplay but offers a cool twist on normal gameplay. Once in gameplay you get to place you ships, this can be a little hard since the control system is <em>really</em> touchy and hard to use. The shooting menu is kind of touchy too and doesn&#8217;t always like to work (thats for me anyways) sometimes i find myself tapping 10 times before it realizes I&#8217;m tapping.</p>
<p>Now that being said this is a great game, and I would highly suggest for any Battleship fans out there. This offers some cool new features and an intriguing experience for newbies and veterans alike. At the least it&#8217;ll keep you amused for a few hours and will keep you coming back when all your other apps get boring.</p>
<p>I mean overall this app destroys other apps in the same genre *cough*ibattleships*cough* so it&#8217;s AOK in my books!</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8/10 &#8211; Very fun and intriguing, but the touch issue set me off</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 8/10 – I like blowing things up .. pretty simple there</p>
<p>Graphics: 8/10 – Great graphics, simple lines and colours, works perfectly</p>
<p>Sound: 8/10 – Cool effects, fit the game well.</p>
<p>Technology: 6/10 – Touch based, sensitivity drove me insane, hence low rating.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 8/10 – Great game, keeps you coming back when you need something not boring.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8/10</p>
<p><strong>How to sink your opponents battleship:<br />
</strong></p>
<p>-Fix the sensitivity issue with the tapping, or is it just my phone?<br />
-An update with further maps woudl be really cool, or maybe the ability to upgrade ships .. newer cooler weaponry..</p>

<p>Version Reviewed: 2.0.0<br />
Developer: Konami Digital Entertainment [<a title="Konami Digital Entertainment on the iTunes Store" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=286115725" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>]<br />
Price as of Review: $1.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 3/5<br />

<p><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3548/3865773669_fcc6d3031c.jpg" rel="lightbox[1077]"><img class="alignright" style="border:10px solid #dddddd;" title="Frogger iPhone Screenshot by iPhone App Reviewer" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3548/3865773669_fcc6d3031c.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="288" /></a>Konami Entertainment has ported Atari&#8217;s classic game, Frogger, to the iPhone &#8211; yes that means even more nostalgia for the older gamers out there.  For those of you who never got the chance to play Frogger while it was still around the game is about controlling a frog and guiding it to it&#8217;s destination.  No this isn&#8217;t a puzzle game where you&#8217;ll have to logically figure out a path, instead you must have fast reflexes and timing to avoid all the obstacles that you will encounter.</p>
<p>The unfortunate part of this app is the immense lack of new environments, although there are several levels which each provide a new obstacle or two, it&#8217;s the same map over and over again.  None the less, the gameplay is quite enjoyable and provides a great pick-up-and-play addiction.  A game lasts from a mere few minutes to an hour (if you&#8217;re really good).  Only a few people I&#8217;ve demoed it with have been able to get a score over 20,000 so this is a great challenge too!  The environment can get pretty crazy with all the obstacles, making for an excellent immersing gameplay.</p>
<p>The graphics are quite friendly and smoothly rendered.  I don&#8217;t think photo-realistic graphics would suit Frogger and therefore the current ones provide the perfect environment.  Sound is a little dull but nothing annoying (which can be rare for an arcade game).  Konami has done a near-perfect job on the control scheme, you can control the frog via three ways, tap (touch), slide (touch) or tilt (accelerometer).  The touch control schemes are awesome &#8211; each have their own personal advantage so whatever suits you best.  However the accelerometer controls are a pretty large bucket of fail.</p>
<p>All in all, Frogger is a highly enjoyable arcade game but won&#8217;t entertain for long and is very limited.  For a couple of bucks though, definitely check this one out.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 6.9/10  &#8211; Frogger provides very immersing gameplay but lacks multiple environments</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9/10 &#8211; Just utterly awesome</p>
<p>Graphics: 8.7/10 &#8211; Sets the perfect theme.</p>
<p>Sound: 7/10  &#8211; Nothing to complain about&#8230;</p>
<p>Technology: 8/10 &#8211; Excellent job on touch control schemes, great stability and the only glitch I&#8217;ve found is a very small irrelevant animation glitch.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 7.2/10 &#8211; This only gets a 7.2 due to the addictiveness, the only competition is a local score board &#8211; no online mode &#8211; no new maps.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 7.8/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements: (Note to the developer!)</p>
<ul>
<li>More. maps.  Have a whole adventure for our frog!</li>
<li>Create a better accelerometer control scheme &#8211; anybody who&#8217;s played with it will know why this needs to be changed.</li>

<p>Version Reviewed: 1.1<br />
Developer: Mindlube Games:<br />
Price as of Review: $2.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 4/5<br />
Size: 17MB</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3865044255_572d879398.jpg" rel="lightbox[1071]"><img class="alignright" style="border:10px solid #dddddd;" title="Chickie Dominos iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3865044255_572d879398.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Chickie Dominos is an iPhone version of the classic domino&#8217;s game &#8220;Chicken Foot.&#8221;  I&#8217;ve had the lucky opportunity to play chicken foot before every seeing Chickie Domino&#8217;s, and let me say Mindlube Games have done an excellent job porting this to the iPhone and iPod Touch.  The goal of the game is to use all your dominos before your opponent does, the rules can be complex however Chickie Dominos teaches you perfectly how to play.  Now it&#8217;s just strategy on your part.  For competition, you can play against a very well programmed computer opponent of three difficulty levels, or a hot-seat mode where you can pass your phone over to a friend and play.</p>
<p>The game overall is very enjoyable, the entire thing is on a multi-dimensional board with ability to pan, and zoom.  Even though the board can get very cluttered, whenever you place a domino it will automatically adjust the board to fit.  A game can last for around 20 minutes, each game consists of seven rounds and points are added to the loser every round.  This scoring system can change the face of the game at anytime, Chickie Dominos is pretty hard to get bored of.  Even if you do and want to come back a few days later, your last game will be saved for you to pick up off.</p>
<p>Chickie Dominos has a global score board for the best games to be uploaded to &#8211; it does this fast and quick; the entire app doesn&#8217;t seem to have any stability problems.  The graphics are farmyard themed, a lot of people aren&#8217;t going to like this so secondary theme options would be nice.  Nonetheless the graphics are all pretty smooth and render perfectly in the immersing environment.  The background music is extremely annoying, luckily it can be turned off separate to the sound.</p>
<p>All in all, Chickie Dominos is one of the best domino games I&#8217;ve seen on the iPhone, and Mindlube Games has done an amazing job porting this to the iPhone.  This app will not be deleted from my iPhone &#8211; how about you?</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 9.6/10 &#8211; Tons of gameplay, perfect rendition of Chicken Foot.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 8.9/10 &#8211; I really enjoyed playing Chicken Foot in the non-digital world, Chickie Dominos has not disappointed.</p>
<p>Graphics: 7/10  &#8211; Could be improved just a tad, additional themes would be nice.</p>
<p>Sound: 5/10 &#8211; Sound effects are all right, background music is deplorable but luckily can be turned off.</p>
<p>Technology: 9/10 &#8211; Great job, perfect interface including pan and zoom multi-touch controls.  No stability issues found.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 7.9/10 &#8211; A game can last quite a while (for iPhone app standards) so you won&#8217;t get bored of this for at least a few days.  I&#8217;m still addicted anyways&#8230;</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.4/10 &#8211; 0.5 bonus points added.</p>
<p>Further Improvements (Note to the developer!)</p>
<ul>
<li>Additional themes</li>
<li>Additional background music</li>
<li>Wi-Fi/Bluetooth multiplayer rather than just hotseat</li>
</ul>

<p><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3519/3862392372_80aa158fbb.jpg" rel="lightbox[1058]"><img class="alignright" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="Extreme Hangman iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3519/3862392372_80aa158fbb.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="288" /></a>Extreme Hangman adds a creative  twist to hangman. It is played on a virtual chalk board and there are  many situations your stick-figure may find itself in. From the classic  hangman situation, being hung from a noose, to getting your brains eaten  by zombies, Extreme Hangman will keep your attention with the variety  of creative animations. You get six false choices and two hints before  your stick-person dies. From actors to supermarket, there&#8217;s a category  for everyone. With a variety of categories and ranging difficulties,  Extreme Hangman is great for the novice or veteran player.</p>
<p>What I like most about Extreme  Hangman is the creative situations your stick-person is put in. Instead  of just enjoying guessing the word, I now also have fun seeing how my  stick-person will react to my guess. The graphics are smooth and flawless.  The local multiplayer is great for playing with a friend, but the word  you choose must be at least five letters long. The options allow you  to greatly customize the game. You can choose which animation you want  to use or just change the difficulty. Extreme Hangman is extremely fun  and addicting, even losing is fun!</p>
<p>Even though Extreme Hangman  is a great game, it isn&#8217;t perfect. The sound fits the game but is very  annoying. The online feature is a good idea, if it can be fixed. I tried  it a few times with a friend and out of the many times we tried, we  only got into the game once, and got disconnected within a minute.  Those are really the only two things  I can complain about with Extreme Hangman.</p>
<p>Overall, Extreme Hangman had  me from the beginning. With the addicting gameplay, and creative animations,  Extreme Hangman is one of my favourite apps. Hangman is a common game  that has been remade countless times. I can honestly say that this is  one of the best, if not the best hangman app out there. If you like hangman, you&#8217;ll love Extreme Hangman!</p>
<p>Overall Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 9.5/10 &#8211; Very addicting and impressive</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9.5/10 &#8211; Even losing is fun!</p>
<p>Graphics: 9/10 &#8211; Smooth with very creative animations.</p>
<p>Sound: 5/10 &#8211; Fits the animations but VERY annoying.</p>
<p>Technology: 8/10 &#8211; Only uses touch controls but very effectively.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 9.5/10 &#8211; Never gets boring.</p>
<p>Final Ratings: 8.4/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fix the online mode glitches.</li>
<li>Choose less annoying music!</li>
<li>Continue to increase words and categories</li>
</ul>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>-Mike.</p>

Price as of Review: $4.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 4/5<br />
Size: 4.8MB<br />
Lite Version: [<a title="Platypus Lite iPhone Game iTunes Link" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=316579329&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>]</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2454/3861900533_0327df2c6d.jpg" rel="lightbox[1041]"><img class="alignright" style="border:10px solid #dddddd;" title="Platypus iPhone Screenshot 1" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2454/3861900533_0327df2c6d.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Platypus is a uniquely themed arcade shooter which will bring back a lot of nostalgia for folks who played the hundreds of similar games in the time of the Nintendo 64.  The goal of Platypus is to gain as many points by shooting up enemies with one of several weapons (power-ups are available throughout each stage). There&#8217;s a huge amount of stages and levels to go through, beating all of them would take several hours being a skilled player.  Although you only get four lives, you&#8217;re able to continue where you left off, just with your points reset.</p>
<p>Like all classic arcade shooters the high score board is your main motivation to playing &#8211; although Platypus is very enjoyable, it&#8217;s not really the addictive paradigm and therefore you&#8217;ll probably put it away once beat.  Unfortunately there&#8217;s no global high scores and the only competition is yourself, friends who you let use your device and the pre-ranked entries.  However the four total stages should be more than enough to keep you entertained for that five dollars worth of time.</p>
<p>The graphics are very unique, the theme is well, it&#8217;s clay.  Everything was basically drawn from clay.  Although it doesn&#8217;t look modern or extremely detailed it gives a nice effect and really sets the theme.  The graphics in all are satisfactory, keeping them at a low level leaves room for game stability, and with the huge amount of objects (bullets, enemies, particles, etc) on the screen at the same time, stability is key.  Handmark Inc has done a great job on the control interface, you can control via touch or accelerometer and both allow you to set sensitivity and calibration.  Nifty eh?</p>
<p>All in all if you&#8217;re into arcade shooters, Platypus is for you, it definitely does not disappoint.  It&#8217;s quite entertaining while it lasts, and it&#8217;s an excellent game to show to friends as you can show them so many aspects of your awesome new iPhone.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8.9/10 &#8211; Lots of stages, enough to last quite a while.  Tons of different enemies and powerups.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 7/10 &#8211; It&#8217;s a pretty nifty game and will keep you entertained no doubt &#8211; how long is the question.</p>
<p>Graphics: 7.5/10 &#8211; The theme isn&#8217;t the best but they executed it well.</p>
<p>Sound: 8/10 &#8211; For those who love nostalgia, you&#8217;ll love the sound effects, for those who don&#8217;t you can turn it off.</p>
<p>Technology: 8.2/10 &#8211; Ability to control via accelerometer and touch, both can be customized to your personal standards.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 7.8/10  &#8211; Lots of levels available but the only real motivation is the local-only high score board.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 7.9/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Global high score board</li>
<li>Different themes &#8211; a lot of people will be pulled away from buying this due to the current clay style graphics.</li>
<li>Different ships and more guns!</li>

<p>You&#8217;ll face challenges along the way such as thunderclouds and alien spaceships that will try to abduct your stick figures.  You only have five lives, once a stick figure has been killed in any way (dropping to his death in the ocean, getting abducted, get struck by lightning) you lose a life.  This can happen quite quickly.  The gameplay is very challenging (on either difficulty level) and my high score is a mere 62 (anybody who&#8217;s beaten this can insult my skills in the comments).</p>
<p>The theme of the app is unique &#8211; all the graphics look like they were drawn on paper and scanned &#8211; the water is actually just blue lines.  However the end effect is quite nice and the user interface is smooth.  The statistics area like to remind you how many times you&#8217;ve killed off one of your stick figures via each death method.  Unfortunately there is no global high score board which in my opinion takes out a lot of the replay value &#8211; unless you&#8217;re addicted (ok you probably are), there&#8217;s no motivation to keep playing.</p>
<p>All in all, Parachute Panic is a great app for a buck, the gameplay follows the ideal iPhone paradigm.  Unfortunately the features are a little limited but we can abide by that for only a dollar.  You can check out the lite version for your final opinion on this app.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8.2/10 &#8211; Although not very complex it&#8217;s the simplicity that makes it awesome.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9/10 &#8211; Not much to say here, it&#8217;s just fun!</p>
<p>Graphics: 8/10 &#8211; The theme has a nice effect.</p>
<p>Sound: 5/10 &#8211; The effects are great but the background and narration are very annoying.  Luckily you can turn just those off in the settings.</p>
<p>Technology: 8.2/10 &#8211; Very stable and I haven&#8217;t found a glitch.  Touch controls are very responsive.  Unfortunately no accelerometer control.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 8/10 &#8211; Many have found this game very addicting &#8211; it&#8217;s solid over one million copies.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 7.8/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Global high score board</li>
<li>A &#8220;hard&#8221; difficulty level</li>
<li>Accelerometer usage <img src='http://www.iphoneappreviewer.com/wp-content/plugins/tango-smileys-extended/tango/smile.png' alt='Smile' class='tse-smiley' /></li>

<p><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3536/3802027302_f4ae7c189f.jpg" rel="lightbox[683]"><img class="alignright" title="Monkey Flight iPhone Game App Review Screenshot by iPhone App Reviewer" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3536/3802027302_f4ae7c189f.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Monkey Flight is the simplest of pick up and play games available for the iPhone. Monkey Flight is a simple game where the controller has to launch a monkey into flight with a palm tree in order to collect an array of fruits and coconuts to gain points. The game can be played in 3 modes; Arcade, Challenges and Lite Play. The latter of which is the version available for free download to try out the game.</p>
<p>Now lets talk about the ‘Challenges’ mode in Monkey Flight. There’s 20 levels available for play (as of right now, keep your fingers crossed for more!). Each level has 3 goals to reach, though you only have to reach the lowest of the three to move onto the next. Now though there are some amusing levels that are going to keep you locked in for hours and hours playing, there’s the less amusing beat it in 2 seconds levels that make you wonder why your still playing.</p>
<p>Arcade mode on Monkey Flight offers you another amusing way of play; who can beat the top score? You’re given three monkey’s to send into flight down one of the longest maps in the game. I found this mode of Monkey Flight to be less amusing than the challenges but at the same time the challenges offer something different. The simplicity of the control system and game play make this game one of the best games I’ve played to date.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8/10 – Amusing and time consuming, always gets your attention</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 7/10 – Hard to lose interest, until you beat all the levels…</p>
<p>Graphics: 8/10 – Small, but very distinguished</p>
<p>Sound: 9/10 – Fits the game perfectly</p>
<p>Technology: 6/10 – only uses touch controls, but uses them to the max, no need for more</p>
<p>Replay Value: 7/10 – lower rating ONLY because after the 20 levels are done (can be accomplished within 2 – 3 hours total play) you don’t really have anything to come back to.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 7.9/10</p>
<p>Monkey Flight is a great game and a great way to kill some time when your bored, but it needs to be beefed up a bit (though the step up from the lite version is significant) before I think it’s capable of a 10/10.</p>
<p>-thetraynor</p>
<p>The Ugly Truth, what needs to change:</p>
<ul>
<li>Theres only 20 levels, I beat them all in 1 day</li>
<li>The banana boost came to me by surprise (after you launch your monkey, tap the screen up to 2 times per monkey for a boost)</li>
<li>There&#8217;s two many easy levels spread throughout the hard ones, they need to progress better</li>
</ul>

<p>Why does iPhone App Reviewer link to other reviewing sites?  Because if you&#8217;re not 100% satisfied with the quality of our review, then we encourage you to go elsewhere.  The point of iPhone App Reviewer is to give you an honest, open opinion of the application.</p>
