Storm Attack [App Store]
This nice little puzzler with amazing music is 50% off until Sunday 18th October, so grab it now and support our indie developers!
Storm Attack is a fast-paced arcade block-blasting game from Rhock & Rholl Studios. Players are tasked with dragging, arranging, and zapping away a constant stream of falling blocks, with a simple goal in mind: score as many points as possible before a stack of blocks reaches the top of the screen. However, every 60 seconds, a storm rolls in and rains down a swarm of fast-moving blocks. Storm sizes increase as the game goes on. Additionally, players need to keep an eye on their ammo, as they’ll need it to destroy blocks.
Released earlier this year, with all the hoo-haa going on with “Balloon Boy”, I thought I’d relive this little beauty which is based on a Flash game of the same title.
Balloon Headed Boy [App Store]
If Mario and Kirby had a baby, it’d be Balloon Headed Boy. So cute you could squeeze him. This whacky little platformer from Gimme5games ends up being a clever little title. Going beyond the touch control of left and right, they add the element of floating around with your head, which just happens to be a pink balloon!
Dark Nebula: Episode 1 [App Store] has been finally released into the wild. It’s a tilt-controlled ball rolling game probably moreso described as a skill-based action game. The sense of urgency with every tilt, jump and swipe at the screen puts it into a weird league of its own. More bizarrely was that the game was brought to our us by Anders Hejdenberg, the lead designer of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. From shooter to labyrinth puzzler? Go figure? The game looks simply stunning. It’s shiny and shimmering with explosions aplenty. Each level is well designed with the need for absolute care when navigating obstacles like trigger switches, spikes, potholes, and lasers. It also controls with the utmost precision. It truly is tight… like a tiger.
Though gameplay is pretty much perfect and the game visually intense, it does leave us begging for more. It is a short experience with only 10 levels. Some of which are frustrating to say the least, but at least the development team help you out there with some of the traps being slowed down during your next round. It’s a well thought out gameplay mechanism that saves you ragequitting or throwing your precious. In terms of replay, there is only the usual gold star timed event offering.
In summary: Looks amazing, sweet controls, short game. Hopefully the “Episode 1″ moniker is a sign of more to come!
Another worthy addition! 4 stars.
F.A.S.T: Fleet Air Superiority Training [App Store]
