APP OF THE WEEK
Edge by Mobigame: Marble Madness (ish) in cubes, with more depth & polish. Challenging, playable & brilliant. 5/5 $4.99 https://is.gd/46ojD
Concertimatic: US app for finding local concerts based on iPod tracks. Good UI but limited settings. 2/5 $0.99 https://is.gd/3YGTo
Juiced: Pretty battery reader with real-time estimates on rotate. Would make a good clock. Throwaway as it is. 2/5 $0.99 https://is.gd/3YHww
Formula 1 Live Racing Free: F1 news and stats app with live race positions. Clunky UI and slow start-up. 3/5 Free https://is.gd/3YJep
Dude: Mildly amusing collection of ‘dude’ recordings and associated traffic-sign-like images/definitions. 2/5 $0.99 https://is.gd/3YK3H
FTP On The Go: Capable app for accessing FTP servers and making minor edits to files. Built-in browser. 4/5 $6.99 https://is.gd/433bR
Mr.AahH!!: Very silly, very addictive one-finger game, guiding a rope-swinging guy to his non-doom. 5/5 $0.99 https://is.gd/433jX
Pinch n Pop!: Pinch-based colour-match game, like a simplified cartoonish Eliss crossed with Puzzle Bobble. 3/5 $0.99 https://is.gd/459At
iSplume: Fairly playable ‘Puzzle Bobble with tilt-based gravity’, but lacks sound and any real challenge. 2/5 Free https://is.gd/46nR3
Edge by Mobigame Lite: A handful of levels and music tracks from the isometric time-attack iPod classic. 4/5 Free https://is.gd/46oaR
Bit of a scrap this week for first place. FTP On The Go is certainly the star non-game product reviewed—a surprisingly powerful tool for web designers on the go. In the world of games, Mr.AahH!! would have got the top prize any other week. Its compulsive single-prod gameplay is really fun and the game’s fantastic value at a buck. Top of the tree, however, is Edge by Mobigame, which returns to the store after trademark battles. Apple reckoned it was one of the App Store’s top 30 games a while back, but I don’t entirely agree—it’s one of the top ten.
