Sorting eggs may seem like something more suited for a farm hand than the casual iOS gamer, but Chicken Frenzy brings this simple joy to the tips of any player’s fingers. To say the point of this game is to sort eggs would be a gross over-simplification, though. Sorting the eggs in this game and getting them into the correct baskets is an exercise in quick fingered physics puzzling.

Chicken Frenzy is split up into various stages each with a different challenging setup. One to four chickens sit at the top of the screen and drop eggs down as they lay them. As the eggs fall the player must use their finger to draw lines of rope that will safely guide the eggs down into the baskets below. Depending on the difficulty of the stage, the chickens may lay different color eggs. In this case, the eggs must be sorted and the player must guide them into the buckets labeled for that specific egg type. This can get tricky when there are several different eggs dropping down at the same time.

The game is also made more difficult by the fact that each line of rope drawn will only remain on the screen for a limited amount of time. Players must always watch for ropes that have disappeared and make sure they replace them if needed. There are also stages where the player is only alloted a certain length of rope. Other stages include obstacles like wooden planks, flies, and frogs that will eat the eggs. Every once and a while, there are even a batch of square shaped eggs that change up the gameplay slightly.

The game’s physics are well done and players must be careful not to let the eggs fall too far or too fast or else they will break. The stages are well designed and players can even tilt the device to change the way the eggs roll and fall. This simple game has a surprising degree of variation and that keeps the game fresh from stage to stage. Players will enjoy Chicken Frenzy, even if they risk ending up with some egg on their face.

For a while I had this idea about taking a photo of myself every day for a year or two, then compiling the images into a kind of stop-motion video that showed me aging in pseudo real-time. Then I thought it might make a decent art project (or something) to do something similar, only with a baby as it grows into whatever it is babies grow into these days. It appears as though I wasn’t the only person who’s thought of this, which isn’t exactly a surprise given the billions of people on the planet, as MJH Apps has seen fit to create a universal app that does exactly what I’d been daydreaming about.

And really, that’s what Watch Me Change does. It enables users to create time-lapsed video using pictures taken from their iOS device and stringing them together. They can set how many frames-per-second, set background music and use a grid that pops up on-screen to help with more consistent framing. Stuff like this can be a little eerie to watch, but it’s also pretty fascinating. Those brave enough to put themselves under the microscope can currently find Watch Me Change in the App Store for $0.99.

Panda Picnic Review

Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: PRETTY TASTY
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

Panda Picnic is an asynchronous multiplayer take on the match-3 puzzle game.

 

Developer: Fuzzycube Software
Price: Free
Version Reviewed: 1.0
Device Reviewed On: iPod touch 4

Graphics / Sound Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Gameplay Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Playtime: Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Replay Value Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Let me start off with a warning. Panda Picnic is a match-3 game. Experienced and long-time iOS gamers are likely recoiling in horror, as the match-3 game is very overplayed on iOS. Of course, one cannot ignore this genre of game forever, and Panda Picnic adds an asynchronous multiplayer twist to it.

Panda Picnic comes from the Bust-a-Move mold, where the object is to match 3 or more fruits at the top of the screen that are launched from the bottom. Players get 3 shots at a time of different fruits, with the goal being to match a certain number of each fruit, the first person to do so being the winner. The game is free to play, with coins available to re-spin when a different set of fruits is desired. Players can buy more coins, and pay to disable ads.

The competitive aspect of Panda Picnic is what keeps the gameplay feeling fresh despite the commonly-used mechanic. It feels like playing a game of 8-ball billiards, where sometimes the preferred plays are the ones that won’t leave the opponent with a good shot on their turn. The coins element is very well-implemented, as it is possible to earn coins in the game, so it never feels like purchasing coins is all that much of a significant advantage, and re-spinning feels like a tactical decision that can be used often, but still deployed strategically. It’s a great balance. The game also uses Facebook Connect for account synchronization and backup.

The game does require a Facebook account for online play at launch, however. The developers have stated that they will add iOS 5′s asynchronous multiplayer once the OS is publicly available. One of the powerups, a wild-card fruit that turns into the fruit that it first hits, often this is different from the fruit that was intended to be matched. This means that the wild card can’t be used in a gap between two fruits at all, despite it hitting all 3 fruit at the same time. If the fruit had some intelligence to benefit the player the most, then it would be much better. Otherwise, very careful shooting needs to be done with this fruit.

While match-3 games are not exactly the pinnacle of innovation these days, thankfully there are still original takes on the game being made, and there are new types of asynchronous games being made too. Panda Picnic should satisfy my match-3 tastes for a long time.

Cowboy Guns HD Review

By
on September 27th, 2011
Our Rating: ★★★☆☆ :: OUT OF AMMO
Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Cowboy Guns is a dual-stick shooter that puts players in control of an old west gunslinger across Adventure, Survival, and Bounty Hunter game modes.

 

Developer: C2 Estudio
Price: $2.99
Version Reviewed: 1.0
Device Reviewed On: iPad 1

Graphics / Sound Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Game Controls Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Gameplay Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Replay Value Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Overall Rating: 3.13 out of 5 stars

Cowboy Guns puts players in control of “The Kid,” a mysterious stranger who must try to stop The Crimson Jackals from terrorizing the denizens of the old west. However, he has a mysterious connection to this gang of violent strangers that becomes unveiled throughout the story. The game is a dual-stick shooter, where players use four weapons: a revolver, shotgun, gatling gun, and grenades in order to help kill the various bad guys.

The game’s story is simple, but it’s more interesting than most dual-stick shooters. As well, the game features both survival modes and a bounty hunter mode where players can earn money for completing missions. That money can be spent on upgrades to armor and weapons, though stars strewn throughout the levels are required in order to unlock the later upgrades. The HD version of the game is a universal build as well; this version comes with Retina Display support that is eschewed in the regular version.

The production values in Cowboy Guns are often lacking; the graphics often show off their low-quality textures. As well, there’s a whole host of spelling errors; did anyone actually run through this game to check for spelling errors? Chillingo are typically known for their high production values, and this feels very low-caliber for them. The music often gets to be grating and repetitive, though it is of good quality. The game just doesn’t really do a whole lot better than other games released in this genre. Other games have better boss fights, better controls, and just better core dual-stick gameplay.

Cowboy Guns is a game that has a good heart, but it feels like it’s missing a lot of that, if I may be cliche, polish that the best games have. If it had a lot more of it, this could be worthwhile. Otherwise, it just doesn’t feel worth it.

Elite Systems has built up quite a reputation for their iOS conversions of 8-bit classic games such as Skool Daze, Chuckie Egg, Jack the Nipper, Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy with the ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection offering a great nostalgic experience.

More memorable titles from days gone by are set to be released soon with another 9 titles from three different countries of origin added to the roster. Originally stemming from North America comes action adventure title Black Magic, supply and demand orientated multiplayer game M.U.L.E and RPG Alternate Reality: The City. From Germany comes shooter Enforcer, soccer management sim Bundesliga Manager and R-Type clone Denaris. Finally, from UK studios, is sci-fi side scrolling shoot em up Uridium, puzzle shooter Paradroid and my personal favorite ninja based platformer First Samurai.

All these retro delights will be available soon with auto save functionality and iDaptive Controls, meaning there will be user-definable controls to make things even simpler for gamers.

We’ll be sure to keep track of the development of these titles. Why not check out ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection in the mean time?
