Loved it!
I"m not a big gamer- but for a free app- this was a blast and I played for a 30 minutes non-stop- it progressively got harder in a gentle way so I became totally hooked.
Potential, but ultimately lame.
It is addicting, but the frustration outweighs the good qualities.
- Always loading. The levels are so short, you spend about half your time waiting for the loading bar between every screen. Totally unnecessary, there are tons of games that are much more graphic intensive that don't need to do "load" all the time.
- Poor/inconsistent frame rate.
- Over simplified physics. For a game that is primarily physics based, they could have at least put a little effort into that area.
- Poor/inconstant hit "zones", on bonus levels, sometimes the heads will fly right through the fish, sometimes you will get them when you clearly miss.
- Lack of scrolling in large areas. The bonus levels for example, even though the "aiming" is weak in the first place, it becomes pointless when you can't see where you need to aim.
- Miserable UI. It is awful. First, with this game there is some great potential to utilize the touch/tilt features of the iPhone/iPod, and they don't take advantage of it. Second, where they do, it actually makes things worse. They "swipe" to move forward is just lame, and worse, there is a tilt feature that moves your penguin when you tilt but doesn't inform you of that. Other aspects of the UI are awful as well. They need to hire an UI/Interaction designer.
The combination of poor physics, inconsistent frame/animation rate and random hit zones prevent this from being a true puzzle game and more of game of chance like dice. It is pretty easy to complete, but has the potential to be a great puzzle game. The concept is great, and could be really fun, but lack of quality development turned it into a second rate, short term amusement.
It simply feels like a port of a crappy phone game or a weak gameboy game.
On the upside, I am glad there is a free version, it let me know that it isn't worth buying at any price.
Wh1terav3n: It does have ign and 1up reviews, including the editor's choice, but they are for the cell phone version. Which, this is probably a great game on a cell phone, but bar is so much lower. We can and should expect more from iPhone/iPod games. So it is not a completely a lie, but is at least a deception. They should indicate the reviews are for the cell phone version.
pretty good
Excellent for a free app, is constantly getting harder, so it never gets old. The only downside is it takes forever to load.
