While Soccer Stealers 2012 takes place on the soccer field, it’s not exactly what most would expect from a soccer game. Soccer Stealers is an ad supported free to play game in which players take control of a squat, cartoony character dribbling a soccer ball around a soccer field. The player must move this cutesy soccer ball dribbling character around the field for as long as possible while avoiding every other player on the field. Every other player on the field is focused on stealing the soccer ball away and ending the match. The whole experience has the feel of a crazed soccer fan simulation where the fan has jumped onto the field, stolen the ball, and is running around avoiding everyone in an attempt to stall the game for as long as possible.

Players use the touchscreen to guide their character through the fray. If one of the opponents manages to bump into the player’s character the player loses control of the soccer ball and it will go bouncing across the field. If the player isn’t able to regain control of the ball or if one of the opponents gains control the match is over. To keep control of the ball there are several power-ups to increase speed or knock down opponents. During each match, the player must also collect as many coins as possible that are spread out over the field. With these coins players can buy tickets to more matches. Each match costs a certain number of coins and the player must spend the required amount of coins to buy a ticket and begin the match.

Players can also use collected coins to purchase clothing and accessories to customize their character. These items are purely cosmetic and have no effect on the gameplay, but power-ups can also be purchased to be used in game as well. If the player doesn’t want to play match after match to accumulate the amount of coins needed to purchase these items then they can purchase packages of coins via in-app purchase instead.

The Soccer Stealers gameplay is very simplistic and each match is exactly the same as the last. Run around a field, pick up coins, avoid opponents, repeat. The game has a fun look and feel, but other than the character customization there just isn’t much to keep the player engaged. This game is fun for a few minutes but quickly loses it’s momentum.

It’s been a while since I first took a look at Adrenaline Monki‘s Mooniz, but I remember spending what could be considered way too much time with it. As I’ve said previously, it’s a battery eater. Since then there have been some updates including better compatibility with older devices, making it accessible to an even larger audience. Well now it’s about as accessible as it’s going to get, because Mooniz is completely free for a limited time.

That’s right, for the low low cost of absolutely nothing, anyone can use their iOS device to save the world from an invasion of super-cute and cuddly lunar critters. As before, there are still in-app purchases for coins that can be used to buy power-ups, but none of that is really necessary in order to have a good time with it. Keep in mind, this “limited time” deal doesn’t have any discernible end date, so I’d suggest getting a move on if poking colored moon monsters in the name of population control sounds like a thing worth doing.

Monkey Land Review

Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: MONKEY BUSINESS
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

Monkey Land is a lot more fun that a dressed-up whack-a-mole should be, but the ad-supported freemium setup seems a little skewed.

 

Developer: Vetasoft
Price: Free
Version: 1.0.0
App Reviewed on: iPhone 3GS

Graphics / Sound Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Monkeys are about as popular as zombies these days, huh? Heck there are even more than a few zombie monkey (monkey zombie?) games out there. Now all bets are off as giant monkeys (the player-controlled Mokoko) face off against vampire monkeys (the aptly named Dr. Apula) to retrieve stolen bananas in Vetasoft’s newest creation: Monkey Land.

The title and story are a bit misleading, I have to admit. going in to Monkey Land for the first time, I was expecting something more akin to an adventure game. What I found instead was a rather odd game of whack-a-mole with purchasable upgrades. It’s honestly a lot more entertaining that it sounds (or I expected), but the freemium model used here is a little unbalanced.

I am honestly surprised by how much fun I’ve had with Monkey Land. The classic mechanics feel almost refreshing (almost) thanks to great artwork and some unexpectedly well-animated simians. It’s also a nice change of pace to challenge players with bopping the right monkeys as opposed to just knocking everything that shows its face. What I mean is, before a monkey jumps up it peeks over the bushes a little. It gives players an early warning, but at the same time there’s no way of knowing if it’s a “good” monkey or a “bad” one. The former nets points that will complete the stage once enough have been gathered, and the latter will reduce the player’s health by a specified amount (i.e. a half heart, whole heart, etc…). It turns a simple game of reflexes into one of both speed and restraint.

I’m not a big fan of the inability to go back and replay past levels, but I suppose it makes sense because that would make it easier to farm coins. Conversely, I also think that the coin distribution is incredibly unfair. After playing for quite a bit during my initial run, I’d only amassed 20 of the silly things. To put it in perspective, the cheapest item in the shop that isn’t a health refill costs 50 coins. Even worse, it would require 750 coins to purchase all of the important items from the store. It almost seems like the free version is merely a taunt, dangling all of the real content just out of the frugal player’s reach. Having any coin purchases (100 for $0.99, 250 for $1.99 and 600 for $2.99) also remove ads is a good idea, though.

I’m somewhat conflicted about Monkey Land. It’s a fun, albeit simple distraction to be sure. I just think they’re a little too stingy with the coins. That and with no way to go back and replay completed stages I question the game’s overall replay value, mini-games notwithstanding. Still, it’s free and it’s pretty entertaining, so at the very least it’s worth a curious glance.

TuneTug Review

iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

An ingenious solution to knowing what music would be popular at a party.

 

Developer: TuneTug
Price: Free
Version Reviewed: 1.5
Device Reviewed On: iPhone 4

Having been to a very enjoyable wedding reception in recent weeks, I think I’ve spotted the ideal time for an app like TuneTug to come into its own. For smaller gatherings, TuneTug is potentially even more useful.

It’s an app that allows users to vote on what music they want to be played next at a social gathering like a party. One user sets the app up using a playlist concocted from an iPhone or iTunes library then sends invites over to others so that they can vote. Other iOS device users can simply use the app to vote from there by logging into the current party. This can be done either by just allowing anyone to join in or by using a simple pass code type system. People with other types of Smartphone can be sent a web link in order to vote so that they can participate too. Users can either set up an account or just log into Facebook unobtrusively.

It’s simple enough to use too. All music is lined up just like a playlist and users simply tap either ‘Tug up’ or ‘Tug down’ depending on if they want the song played or not. The song with the most up tugs is then played next. The admin of the group can set up a maximum amount of votes so that everyone gets a balanced shot at the music they want played, plus everyone can check out who voted for what song.

It’s a simple but effective system that could be a heck of a lot of fun in the right situation. As it’s dependent on iTunes/iPod playlists, professional scenarios might not find it as useful (having been nosey when at the wedding reception, that DJ didn’t use iTunes) but in smaller gatherings, it’s a fantastic idea. It adds a social element to music choosing and means there’s no chance of a row as it’s as democratic as it gets. An ideal utility for any social occasion that calls for democratic music choices.
