Meatball Marathon Review

By Oliver Stockley | Reviews

It’s probably not politically correct, but I’ll openly admit that I find the sight of rotund men running bouncily along rather amusing. There’s just something about the way they wobble. Clearly I’m not the only one that has a crass sense of humour, because this visual entertainment forms a large part of Virtway’s 69p/99 cent Meatball Marathon Premium. The run and jump game puts you in control of Snacky G,

Pigs in Trees – BEST APPS

By Oliver Stockley | Best Apps

Pigs In Trees (69p/$0.99) by Tactile Entertainment Review Extract: “Apple enjoy reminding us that there’s an app for just about everything. My immediate reaction? “Sure, whatever. I bet pigs can fly, too.” Well, apparently they can… sort of, anyway. ‘There’s an app for that’, and it’s called Pigs in Trees. In it, a fighter pilot pig doesn’t just fly – he flies in style, engaging in aerial combat with swarms

Joining Hands – BEST APPS

By Oliver Stockley | Best Apps

Joining Hands (£1.99/$2.99) by 10Tons Ltd Review Extract: “In the UK, riots are dominating the headlines. Shops have been turned inside out, their entrails left scattered across the streets. Here to help remind those who looted iPhones of the advantages of everyone just getting along is a puzzle game from 10tons, Joining Hands ($2.99/£1.99). Ironically, the game is a riot to play. The app challenges you to place ultra-cute Peablins

Fortnightly Review Fix: Gravity Lab!, Zombie Rider, Joining Hands and Pigs in Trees

By Oliver Stockley | Reviews

As well as working hard to produce daily reviews for AltiApp, I’ve recently begun contributing to The Smartphone App Review. I don’t want the reviews that I’ve written for other sites to go unseen by readers of AltiApp, so every fortnight I’ll post extracts of, and links to, any articles that I post elsewhere on the web. Gravity Lab! Review: “If there’s one thing that the app store has in

Bean’s Quest Updated With New Levels

By Oliver Stockley | Miscellaneous

Kumobius have just released a free update for the popular jumping platformer, Bean’s Quest. In my recent review of the game, my main problem with it was the lack of levels. It’s a relief, then, that version 2.0.0 of the game comes with another 9 levels, together with a few other features, listed below. – World 2 is here! Bounce your way to victory through 9 all-new levels. – Added

A Game With Balls Review

By Oliver Stockley | Reviews

You know when there’s something stuck at the back of your mind, nibbling at your thoughts like an unfed hamster? I’ve got that at the moment. My problem is ‘A Game With Balls’. Not the app itself, just the name. I don’t know if I like it. Is the double entendre intentional or am I reading too much into it? More irritatingly, why was the first thing that I saw

Groove Coaster – BEST APPS

By Oliver Stockley | Best Apps

Groove Coaster (£1.99/$2.99) by TAITO Review Extract: “Groove Coaster is possibly my favourite music game on the app store. It takes the expected devices of the music genre, and makes them fun again. Really, stupidly fun. As music plays, you tap the screen to hit notes that correspond to the song, earning you ‘groove’. You need a certain amount of groove to complete each level. The twist is, you’re literally

Cut The Rope: Experiments Review

By Oliver Stockley | Reviews

App store apps are always hard to place a price on. In most other marketplaces, games that retail for the same price would be expected to have a similar amount of content, or provide the same level of value. In the app store, prices are so ridiculously low that these expectations are frequently shown to be impossible to meet. Cut the Rope: Experiments (69p/$0.99) by ZeptoLab demonstrates this situation perfectly.

Groove Coaster Review

By Oliver Stockley | Reviews

Groove Coaster by Taito (£1.99/$2.99, currently on sale for £0.69/$0.99) is possibly my favourite music game on the app store. It takes the expected devices of the music genre, and makes them fun again. Really, stupidly fun. As music plays, you tap the screen to hit notes that correspond to the song, earning you ‘groove’. You need a certain amount of groove to complete each level. The twist is, you’re
