Catcha Mouse Review

Posted by iphonetech78 on February 20, 2009

This cute mouse game I got it at appshopper when it is free.

Though free games often give us an impression that the gameplay is not good. This game tends to differ on this aspect.

Here is the game menu. It look pretty cute, isn’t it.


The instructions on the game are very brief. Soon you will
discover that this game is very easy, which needs very little introduction.


The only options are sound controls and difficulty levels as shown. Very neat.

Here are some in-game screenshots.

I reach up to level 20 on the easy game mode. I have not try out the difficult game mode. Maybe I will fare badly there :( .

Though of a similar genre, the gameplay is different. You need to place mouse traps to stop the mouse from reaching that hole to escape.

To conclude, this game is a must-get for those itching to have some mouse fun. The mouse in the game does actually squeak like a real mouse. That is good to know, isn’t it?

It is available here on Itunes.

Bag BigFoot review

Posted by iphonetech78 on February 20, 2009

I happen to have this Playscreen game. It is pretty fun so I think I ought to share this review with the people out there. Good things are meant for sharing, isn’t it?

The story of this game is to trap or bag the bigfoot creature created by Playscreen. When you do trap bigfoot with the pillars, he will let out a cry and when you let him out of the maze, he will laugh at your inability to trap him. Quite amusing though.

There are only sound options in this game: either to turn off or turn on. This game does not need accelerometer so it has no accelerometer options to adjust.

It has also allow 3 saved slots for game saving. Quite sufficient I will say.

okay, here are some screenshots from the gameplay itself. You guys can’t wait can you? :P

Well, the bigfoot does get cleverer as the game progresses. So here are my pathetic game scores.

Do remember to save your game progress or you need to start all over again.

If you guys need to buy this cute little game, head on to itunes at this web address: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=304649874&mt=8

It is only $0.99, lesser than the price of starbucks coffee. I am sure you will have fun as much as I do.

Symbolism-a puzzle game

Posted by carolynn7 on February 20, 2009

Symbolism is part puzzle, part strategy and is based on a game I used to play all the time on my Palm, Alchemy. This game is a total classic in my mobile gaming stable. It’s challenging as heck and you could find yourself playing it for hours on end!

The game board consists of a grid. You are given squares that you must place on the grid. The squares have a colored symbol on them and have a gold background. Now, you can’t just flop down squares anywhere you want to, you have to place them according to symbol and color. For example, if you have a red M, you can place another red symbol next to it or a different colored M. There is a block in the middle of the board when you start, that’s basically a wild that you can place any square next to. There are empty gold squares that can be placed on an already gold square. This can help you place other squares when you are stuck. When a row or column is filled with squares, it clears the symbols, but the gold squares stay. To win the level you must cover the grid with gold squares.

What’s great about this game: There are three levels of difficulty; Easy, Medium and Hard. There are two different scoreboards, Online global scores and in game personal scores. There are also clearly written instructions that will help you learn how to play. The game has great sound effects, which are nicely done. You also have the ability to play your own music from your iPod collection. The graphics are highly polished and I had no problems with it crashing or game play bugs.

What I’d like to see added: Background music would be really nice.

My overall impression: A definite keeper! I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. It has endless replayabilty due to it’s many levels of difficulty and online scoreboards. The developer, Drew Borland, is still working on the game, so there is more to come! It’s also ONLY $0.99 cents, so go get it in the App Store today!
