Doodle Cannon War iPhone App Review

Description:

Doodle Cannon war by InfiWorks, inc, is one of those games that is just great for the iPhone and iPod touch.  This game will keep you hooked for a long time because it is just plain FUN!  This game has a tangible feel that most games don’t have.  The object of the game is to blow up the skulls in each level by using the bombs in your cannon.  It sounds extremely simple, but you have to get your bomb near the skulls and that is very hard because you have to angle your cannon just right.  This alone requires a steady hand, logical thinking, and some serious good luck.  To get a good score you need to blow up the skulls using the least amount of bombs in as little time as possible so it gets very challenging.

Like most games on the iPhone, Doodle Cannon Wars has its share of control issues when playing.  It only uses a single touch to control the power and angle of the cannon which can get very frustrating and confusing.  This is also a pain when you are trying to get just the right angle to shoot the bombs.  When you finger is pressed to the screen the power will go up which sometimes you don’t want it to but there is no way to reverse it which is lame and kind of stupid actually.  These control issues make the game feel like it is more dependent on luck than it is real skill of angling and power shooting.  This glitch is crippling in the game as you want to have better control of angling and power selection.

Even with its issues, it still boasts over 40 levels of play that is extremely fun and entertaining.  The Graphics, look and feel are just fantastic and make a large difference when playing the game.

Features:

  • 40 levels of play
  • fun sounds and impressive graphics
  • stunning visuals and easy to use interface
  • post scores on line or onto social networking sites.

While there are a few bugs and glitches that undoubtedly will get fixed, its still so much fun to play that its not enough to make you not buy it!   This game is really fun and a great game to pass some serious time with. Shooting things is always a good time!

Conclusion:

This game costs $.99 cents and has a 3 1/2 out of 5 star rating form iPhone users who have played this app.

Retro Paddle iPhone App Review

Description:

The first ever home console game to hit the homes of people everywhere was a game called pong.  This game sold over $40 million in it’s first year and was a massive hit to the public as they ate it up!  This simple games sparked the video game revolution that is still widely popular today.  Classic games that came out after pong were Space invaders and other games that made it to tv screens everywhere back in the olden days.

This gaming was the precursor to the legendary Nintendo and Sega hits that hit the scene in the late 80’s and continue to make video game hits today.  The video game world will never be the same again after pong hit the shelves as the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii all have pong to thank for their lucrative time of video games developing and console making.  Pong was a very simple game that has the simple instructions of avoiding missing a ball for a high score.  You literally just hit the ball back and forth for as long as you can.  If you let the ball slip by your paddle, you lose.

Retro Paddle is the iPhone pong equivalent and these guys that developed it really went back to the retro roots to make this game have the same look and feel as the original pong.  This game is very easy to play and you can use some brand new features.  The control settings can be changed from touch to tilt so you can tilt the iPhone or iPod to move the paddle across the screen to hit the ball in order to keep your score high.  You can also adjust the difficulty level of the game to keep things interesting and to keep yourself challenged.  If you are a retro gamer and love the classics this is absolutely an app that you can’t let slip through your fingers.  This is an absolute must for people that love the classic games and want to be able to enjoy the old time games that got everything started.

Features:

  • control options allow you to tilt or touch
  • difficulty level can be changed
  • scores can be posted online to show friends and family

Conclusion:

Retro Paddle only costs $.99 cents and is worth the money if you are an original lover of pong and want to experience what people experienced back in the 80’s when video games started.
