Smash Hit Is Our iOS Game Of The Week [Editor’s Pick]

Feel like smashing some glass? How about throwing pinballs to do it?

Well, you can do both in this week’s pick: Smash Hit by Mediocre Games, a free-to-play glass-shattering endless run through some of the prettiest yet most fragile obstacle courses we’ve ever seen.

Here’s a quick video of our play through, along with our thoughts on the game.

Smash Hit is free-to-play in the App Store, and unlike many other games using this business model, you can play for free as long as you like. Grabbing the $1.99 in-app Premium update will give you access to checkpoints and cloud saves, but that’s it – spend once and forget micro-transactions or forced waits.

This is free iPhone gaming at its best. Unless you’re playing on an iPad, which you really should try: it’s beautiful.

The soundtrack is as much of a draw as the smashing stuff, too, so plug in a pair of good headphones while you play to hear the incredible connection between the visuals and the music, as Evan mentions in our review right here.
