Doodle Jump iPhone App Review

30 Dec

Doodle Jump is one of the most selling games of all time. The game title itself says, ‘Be Warned, Its Insanely Addictive‘ and by this you can judge how the game will be. The game’s concept is very simple. You have a simple, cute doodle to jump on tiles  and guide his way to success.

The game isn’t very complicated to play with. You just have to worry about the scores, which also can be achieved with a little practice. You encounter a lot of unpredictable, irregular shaped creatures a.k.a Aliens in Doodle Jump. You encounter a UFO when you go very high thats about above 20,000.  You can shoot them by the beak of the doodle. You have to tap onto the phone for the shooting. You sometimes encounter broken tiles which when you step on, break and then you drop and you fail.

You can choose between directional shooting in the Options menu. The difference in directional shooting is when its On, where you tap, the cannon will go that way, if its off, it will go automatically to the alien.

You have a Scores & Stats option in the game. You have your high-scores of the game. The higher you go in the game, the higher you get your name in the achievements board. Like most of the games, this game does support Game Center.

On the bottom of the game, you get lot of themes. You can choose between space theme, graveyard theme for the Free Version. On the Premium version, you have the previous 2 themes plus christmas theme, forest adventure theme.

While playing the game, you get a number of add-ons to add to your score. Sometimes you get a propeller hat to get up to a certain height. You then get jumping shoes to jump on tiles

You don’t get local challenge in the free version. The Local Challenge refers from 2 people upto 8 people playing the game. You choose the number of people and turn by turn people play and the system chooses the winner by the best highscore.

You now have the ability to score and then post your achievements and show them to Facebook and Twitter. Overall the feel of the game is simple. The app loads up fast. No tension, just simple and worry-free

Cost of the App: $0.99

Genre: Games

PROS: Simple game, inexpensive, new concept

CONS: Unresponsive motion of the doodle, very difficult on high altitudes.

Camera+ iPhone App Review

24 Dec

The iPhone 4 and 4S have flash cameras which can shoot even in low light, shoot 720p for iPhone 4 and 1080p for iPhone 4S. But what if you have an iPhone 3G or 3GS? This iPhone app is compatible for any iPhone and can turn your iPhone into a   digital SLR camera! This iPhone app has received many awards for its genuineness and work.

The Camera Plus app works simple. You have a flash on and off button on the top left corner which gives you a warning that it will drain the battery. It can also be used for a flashlight. On the right hand side top corner, only for the iPhone 4(S) users, you can turn the camera for the front and the rear. The circle appears as you touch the iPhone screen and focuses on the point of screen. On the right hand of the camera button, you have the settings.

The Normal Mode shoots the normal pictures as the iPhone but well-lit. Here is an example of iPhone 4 camera vs Camera+ :

The next mode to take a photograph is the Stabilizer Mode. This mode is actually very helpful for people who have shaky hands.  The mode simply takes photo when the photo will be non-shaky and sharp.
The Timer Mode is similar to the modes often found in the Digital Cameras to get yourself in the picture. The timer in this mode is 5 seconds.
The Burst Mode is just the need if you are a paparazzi. You can take unlimited pictures without any pause in the way. You can take beautiful moments and save them in your phone!
Besides that, you have Lightbox to manage your shots and edit them to awesomeness.
You have to click on the photo to delete it, edit it, share it, saving it, copying it.
Sharing has three options, Facebook, Twitter and Email. If you save it you can save it in your iPhone photo library.
Editing is the best part of this app. You can use Auto, Flash, Sunset, Night, Backlit, Portrait, Beach, Scenery, Concert, Food or Text. 

You can also give them a little touch with borders which make your photo look gorgeous and attractive to view.

PROS : Good Camera, New effects, repairs photo, cropping available for photos.

CONS: Yet another app for editing your photos, not as advanced editing  as expected for the iPhone.

Cost of the App: $0.99

Genre: Camera

Where’s my Water iPad App Review

17 Dec

The story behind this app is of “Swampy the Alligator” who loves taking a bath. He is always in the sewers while the bad alligators ruin the happiest moments. He needs some help to get the waters through the tunnels, from the dirt, keeping away from the poison, acid, chemicals.

The game offers very life like physics to the user interface which keeps one to keep on playing the game.

When you play the game, you have 3 rubber duckies to get. You can either get 1 or 3, but you have to make sure you have enough to get to the next chapter of the game. Its really easy to get all the duckies, if you get the playing of the game. You have three points to score points on : The number of duckies you collected, time bonus, water overflow. Remember there is no need of any study of physics or chemistry formulas, its just a game.

If you add up all, there are sum of 80 levels split in 4 chapters. The last chapters have some hard and tricky levels which can make you get just a duck sometimes. You can use a reset button anytime in the game if you feel you have done something wrong. One more mystery in the level is there are some levels in which you have to find the objects, which can be hidden anywhere in the dirt. You can know when you have to find an object when a “question mark” appears on the upper left corner.

Moving to the liquids in the game. The green algae in the game can destroy the ducks and the dirt without your finger. The purple acid’s one drop can turn your water into the purple acid. You might need reflexes on this one!

This game offers multitouch to make it easier to complete the levels.

Personally saying, I liked this game very much. It has a want that keeps you on the game for hours. I like to recommend it to all those who are looking for a beautiful game which needs brains and absolutely gives fun!

PROS : Great concept, easy to play, logical thinking, multitouch

CONS: Slider to scroll, Touch too big to handle.

Cost of the app : $0.99

Flight Control HD for iPhone and iPad App Review

09 Aug

You have been dreaming of becoming a pilot, you just want the real-touch of it. Maybe you want, or you don’t want. But you do want this app. Flight Control HD by Firemint for ($0.99) is just the app you need. It is the air traffic control game with which you have the touch and you need to get the planes, helicopters to the desired track without getting crashed.

The game’s feel is awesome. You get addicted to the game because it is the game’s interface and great new concept.

You have different planes, helicopters. You have big red airplanes who are at their highest. Small red airplanes are at medium speed. While the helicopters are the slowest in the air traffic control game. You can even speed the game if you have correctly connected the planes to the tracks. The game becomes harder as you progress. The main point is that you get to cancel the route you made and make again a new one. This makes the game a little easier for you to play. The controls are a piece of cake. You just have swype the route to the track and you are good to go.

If you really want to spend your well earned money, you just have the good $0.99 game. Local Multiplayer via Bluetooth and Wi-fi is supported.

The game size is not high but around 15 MB which is easy to download from your iPhone or your iPad.

You have Game Center for this game and a lot to achieve achievements.

Tiny Wings for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad App Review

09 Aug

Tiny Wings for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is a definite buy for (). It symbolizes the hope for a bird trying to get to different islands as fast as it can. The world is full of beautiful hills and this bird can fly. You have a time-span to complete a number of islands and objectives given and you will build a nest ahead if you complete an objective.

You have to think of the gravity. It brings the bird back to the earth which it doesn’t like it at all.

You have sun coins which rewind the time a little bit and give you extra time to achieve the achievement. As well as you have speed coins which give the bird a boost. You get points for perfect sliding between the valleys. Cloudtouches give you double points than the perfect slides. It comes after more than 5 perfect slides and good speed. It has more than 16 islands and you get an idea of playing it. I like the new concept of making the bird fly. Game center is supported with 30 achievements to complete from.

If you are looking for a good time-passing app, this is a cheap and addictive app.
