My Review Of Eyegore's Eye Blast Graphical Version

Before I start, I wanted to say that I am especially excited about this review because it is going to appear on AppGirlReviews' website. I was enlisted by AppGirlReviews to become a reviewer for their site. This is my first review that will be published by someone other than myself and I am very excited about it. Thank you so much AppGirlReviews for taking a chance on me, and allowing me to review for your website.

Now on to the review.

Eyegore's Eye Blast

Just in time for Halloween, here comes Eyegore's Eye Blast. This game is not only fun, but challenging as well with two modes of play. In the spirit of jewel shooter type games this is the spooky version of the classic game.

Deep in what appears to be a mad scientist style dungeon, you find your self eye to eye with Eyegore's stockpile of eyeballs swinging from a rusty chain. You may find that odd, but where do you keep your stockpile of eyeballs? Eyegore has his eyeball shooter in the room and needs your help to sort out the rest of his eyeball collection.

The object of this game is simple and self explanatory, shoot the different colored eyes into the pile to make matches of three or more similar colored eyes. What's not so easy about this, is that when the eyes hit, the whole stockpile starts to spin unpredictably. Alot of timing comes into play here as you now have to tilt your phone back and forth to create a swinging motion until you get just the right angle for a well placed, well timed shot. If the swinging motion doesn't help, you can always try banking the eyeballs off the walls. This seems like alot of effort for this type of game, but it won't go unrewarded. Every time you make special combos or certain trick shots, you will unlock achievments that you can post to Twitter and Facebook or compare with friends through an online profile that you can edit yourself.


Online Profile:

-Upload a photo from your phone's photo roll.
-Edit your username or use an alias.
-Invite friends
-Compare scores with your friends or local players.
-Twitter and Facebook Integration.
-View your wall of achievements and post comments.

Challenge Mode:

Challenge mode has three difficulty settings; Easy, Medium, and Hard. This mode of play is not timed, and offers a variety of different shaped clusters of eyeballs to shoot at.

Puzzle Mode:

In Puzzle Mode you are racing to make the best time. The object is to clear the eyeballs with as low a time as possible while still getting a high enough score that you can compare against your friends, or other players in your area through the online profile that you created.

Features:

Overall, this app truly sets itself apart from other jewel shooter type games by making full use of the features built in to the iPod Touch and iPhone. First of all, it uses the accelerometer for the back and forth swinging motion during gameplay. This seems to be a one of a kind feature as other similar games have static, non-moving game boards. Another nice feature of this game is that it allows you to listen to a full playlist of music from your phone's library. There's just something really cool about rocking out in a mad scientist's dungeon that appeals to me. Make sure you load up on songs though, as the playlist does not seem to loop once it has run through all your songs. Lastly, you can edit your online profile with the option of adding a picture from your photo roll as an avatar. The online profile is used to keep track of scores, compare with friends, and post to Twitter and Facebook.

My final thoughts:

Eyegore's Eye Blast is extremely addicting and loads of fun. I can highly recommend this game to anyone who has ever enjoyed playing jewel shooter style games. Retro Dreamer has taken this genre to a whole new level with Eyegore's Eye Blast. This is a very well made game, with seamless gameplay, and beautifully rendered graphics.

Eyegore's Eye Blast is $0.99 in the iTunes App Store

My Review Of Ransom Letters From More Blu Sky (@mbsky)

Simplistic, Creative, and Intuitive, "Ransom Letters" is loads of fun. As the name suggests, you can express your creativity through Ransom Letters. Confused? I'll Spell It Out For You.

Are you getting the picture? Ransom Letters uses custom lettering that looks like it was cut from various magazines and newspapers to spell out whatever message you want. You can type your message on a plain, simulated white paper background, or over top of your favorite photo from your iPhone or iPod Touch camera roll.




The possibilities for creativity are seemingly endless with this app. You can use Ransom Letters to caption your favorite "I Can Haz" photo, create your own internet meme, or send your roommate an MMS message(from very far away) telling him you borrowed his car.





Anything you can imagine, you can now put into words with this easy to use app. Of course, these are only a few examples of the things you can do with Ransom Letters, and I'm sure there are lots of you out there that can come up with tons of hillarious new ways to use Ransom Letters.

The Ransom Letters app has certain features which stand out and make it truly customizable. The first feature is "Pinch To Resize." Once you've typed your message, you can use the pinching gesture to make your text larger or smaller so that it fits just the way you want it. Note here though, that all of your typed text gets resized at the same time, so you may want to use Ransom Letters' second outstanding feature to enhance this first feature.

The second feature is "Shake To Select" which is pretty self explanatory. You shake your phone and the text changes. Although this feature produces random results, it is quick and easy to find a "font" style that fits your needs.





If you aren't happy with what you've created, you can always use the "Reset" feature which gives you a few different options, as pictured below. The really nice part of this feature is that you can reset as often as you like, until you're ready to save your photo.

Now that you've finished editing your Ransom Letters it's time to save your creation. This time you get two options for saving your picture. Both options save the picture to your camera roll, but the second option gives instructions on how to upload your photo to the Flickr.com website.


Overall, I am very impressed with Ransom Letters, as this isn't a gimmicky throw-away app, but rather it's a quick, easy, artistic way to enhance your favorite photos before you share them using Flickr Upload or by texting them to everyone in your iPhone contact list. I am confident that anyone would enjoy using this app over and over again.

Ransom Letters, Developed by More Blu Sky, is a bargain at $0.99 (Link http://bit.ly/RansomLetters). You can Follow The Developers on Twitter (@mbsky) or contact them easily by following any of the in-app links.

As always, thank you for taking the time to stop by and read my review. Feel free to post your Ransom Letters Creations as a response to this blog. I would really love to see your creations, and I'm sure that More Blu Sky would appreciate it as well.

Sneek Peek At Glyder 2 From @GluMobile (Screenshots)

For anyone who doesn't know, or missed out, @GluMobile sent a message out on Twitter a short while ago, and asked if anyone would be interested in helping with the development of their upcoming sequel to the widely popular iPhone Game, Glyder. Of course since I'm a huge fan of Glu Mobile Games, I quickly responded that I would be more than happy to contribute to the development of Glyder 2. Shortly thereafter I was contacted via email by Glu Mobile. They asked a few questions to get a general idea of what their fans liked about the original title(Glyder). They also asked if there was anything that we, the fans, would like to see incorporated into the game. After re-opening Glyder on my iPhone(Strictly to research my replies), I set about answering Glu Mobile's questions and submitted them via email. Today I received feedback from Glu Mobile in the form of Screenshots that have Never-Been-Seen outside the Glu Mobile offices. The screenshots are not exclusive to myself, as there are fans all over the world who have been contributing ideas to the development of Glyder 2. Although, I am very pleased to have received these screenshots that I can now share with all of you. Without further ado, I now present you with a first look at screenshots of Glyder 2 from Glu Mobile.

Screenshot 1:

Screenshot 3:

So there you have it, a first look into the development of Glyder 2 for iPod Touch, and iPhone. If you're a fan of Glu Mobile, I am sure that you will be excited about the new features which are being incorporated into the new game. From looking at these screenshots alone, I can honestly say that I believe this sequel will be an enormous hit in the iTunes store, proving once again that Glu Mobile is one of the greatest app/game developers around. Not only have Glu Mobile listened to their fans, but they have delivered a true, fan inspired work of art.

My Review of "Ale Beershooter/Biershooter"

Ale Beershooter/Biershooter (Rated 17+)
From Handy-Games
Follow @handy_games on Twitter

When Ale Beershooter finishes it's initial loading screen, you're greeted with a cheerful German Polka Tune, which is totally appropriate for the festivities that are about to take place in this wonderfully delightful app from Handy-Games. As the game begins you see a crowd of approximately fifteen happy festival-goers sitting at three picnic tables. The countdown then quickly begins.











This is where the festivities get underway. One after another these merry festival patrons stand up from the table, or turn in their chairs to face the Biertender(you) and shout(in German) for a refreshing blast of "Bier", from a beer shooting nozzle at the bottom of the screen. Who hasn't wanted this type of apparatus at a party, am I right? The point is made quickly as you click on party guests and beer shoots across the screen into their waiting mouths.




This task seems simple enough, but the game does have some very interesting twists. First off the guests will pop up randomly and at varying speeds all over the screen. At any one time there can be as many as six or seven guests(including some "surprise" pop in guests) waiting for a blast from the beer nozzle. Secondly, be careful where you aim that beer nozzle, because a misplaced beer blast will cost you points. Matter of fact, any shot other than in a thirsty mouth will cost you points off your score.



Overall this is a very entertaining game with a high re-playability factor, which scores big points with a vast majority of iPhone gamers like myself. I recommend this game as a must have for anyone who enjoys a fast paced, hand-eye coordination, first person style "shooter". Below is a link that will take you right to the app store page, where you can download this game for FREE!

My review of Homerun Battle 3D(iPhone app)

This game is instantly addictive. From the first time the intro movie plays, until my iPhone battery dies(from hours of playing), this game is entertaining, challenging, and rewarding. There are plenty of challenges during the game which help to unlock upgrades for your slugger. The upgrades are pricey, but completing certain missions will handsomely reward you, putting the upgrades well within reach. That in itself is enough to encourage practice and determination to master this game.

If that isn't enough, then try connecting to the game server and play in real time against a human opponent. There are so many people that have already mastered this game, that are willing to hand out a whooping to any rookie that comes unprepared. So get your batting practice in, get some new gear, and get ready for one of the best games in the app store!!

This game is visually stunning, and the gameplay is dynamic, with animations of a sparking scoreboard and three views of hitting the ball at the perfect angle to launch it high into the stands.

I highly recommend this as A MUST HAVE GAME!! You Can Find This Game In The iTunes Store by Clicking Here: http://bit.ly/HRBattle3D
