Dutch ballgame: Critter Balls

Sanne Meijer, a student at the University of Amsterdam Interactive Media, is so proud of her first iPhone game, that is their own recenseert the App Store. "Good clean fun" she writes, "Easy controls, simple gameplay and nice graphics RETINA" Five stars. Well, bow around it, and nominate for Game of the Year 2012. No, that's not quite fancy enough, Ms. Meyer. You have the ball but and Heck, it's a handy bridge! Critter Balls is a game ... just because! Balls in different shapes and sizes from a hole in the ground up and thrown away, you quickly whip them into the basketball net on the right side of the picture. But that just confuse more of height, making it relatively easy to throw miss. It's okay if you do not shoot off a ball, but if you throw a ball next to the net, you get a minus. Every fourth consecutive ball that means you miss the end of the game. But: every ball you hit in between throws, makes you an extra ball to be missed. So you are constantly fighting against the prominently placed in the middle to counter back at least to throw a ball well. Meanwhile, there is often some bombs thrown from the hole that you go off when you touch them. Sporadiche angel balls ensure that your back four allowed to make mistakes. Critter Balls has no music, but we miss the sound is not really funny. What is definitely missing is a highscore table that you have the highest scores once more to consult. Preferably including name of who has put the high score. As for us: two stars deducted, back to the drawing board and addiction potential slightly fuller elaboration.

Game of the Week: Super Crate Box

"With five million crates," suggested developer Flame Bear, "Super Crate Box we provide an update with new content." Whether the Dutch studio itself expected or not, the five million crates in a half day achieved. Super Crate Box was from the fall of 2010 a very popular cult hit on the PC and stores including the iPhone, iPod touch and iPhone like a bomb. In the game you have to aim to collect crates. This may sound silly, but it's nice that the gameplay really is not all about running the crates. In Super Crate Box play a bunch of pixels that need to destroy opponents. The opponents come from the top of the screen and then go jumping, floating or falling down. If you only touch one, you put the Bob and shows off the Game Over screen. But if you let them walk, they fall to the bottom of the level and get them into a stronger and faster re-form the top level in the fall. So you actually possible opponents immediately wipe out before they come back stronger. This can be done by addressing the crates, because they are not only your score but you also give any other weapons. The arsenal includes a better gun, a rocket launcher, machine guns, mines and even a laser gun that lets you swing around. Not all weapons are equally useful. For example, the one instance, much more recoil than the other, so you yourself suddenly in a hole on the opponent to fall. But the boxes keep your ears to fly. And while Super Crate Box in pixel appearance and structure seem very simplistic, so weigh your opponents constantly wondering if you first shoot, first picks up a crate or get your current gun exploits the opposition to lay. You just need to adjust to the exact pixel keys, but if you're over there, you make trade-offs in a trance and save yourself all staring and almost subconsciously from the most dire situations. Super Crate Box is the first Game of the Week this year and makes our hearts glow chauvinist. Download: Super Crate Box (€ 0.79)
