Frisbee Forever

Mel — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:00:26 +0000

Frisbee Forever from publisher Kiloo is a lot of fun. Whether you’re a Frisbee aficionado or just getting into the game, it is worth a look into. There are ten unique settings. Each one has ten levels so there are a hundred in all. This feature alone shows just how varied the game can be.

The gamplay is simple; just flick your Frisbee and off it will go. There are obstacle courses to go through, but you can navigate the Frisbee right or left. Watch as your disc flies through corkscrews, loops and other obstructions.

The tile and touch controls work very well and your Frisbee glides smoothly. Keep your momentum by flying through triangular and circular checkpoints; you’ll need them to reach the end. If you get three stars in a level, you’ll earn a star coin. The more coins you earn, the more features you can unlock. Coins can also be used to upgrade your discs or buy new ones.

As you go deep into the game, you’ll have to collect stars along the way. The medals you earn will depend on how many of these stars you collect. The physics isn’t very realistic and it isn’t meant to be. Any sense of realism is happily thrown out of the window in the name of fun. The graphics are colorful, perfect for the game. The sounds are great too.

Basically what you have to do in Frisbee Forever is to strike the checkpoints and keep the disc in the air until the level ends. It is fun, but not without challenges. If you can’t play Frisbee outdoors this is the next best thing.

Bike Race Free

Mel — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:00:29 +0000

Bike Race Free from publisher Top Free Games is unique among racers. You compete against the clock to complete a track. The time you put in determines how many stars you will get (3 is the maximum). It isn’t easy because the tracks have loops and chasms.

It’s best to think of it as a racing / physics-based platformer game. There are similar games like this on PCs. If you have played those before, you’ll feel right at home here. Bike Race Free has 4 unique worlds each with 8 tracks. The worlds have themes (savanna, arctic, tundra etc). The different settings offer various challenges.

Game controls are easy to learn; tilt your tablet / phone to lean the bike back or forward. To accelerate, press your finger on the screen’s right side. The simple controls make Bike Race Free simple to play. While easy to learn, it’s difficult to master. You’ll keep coming back to erase seconds from your time. It’s the high degree of re-playability that makes this a worthy download.

The graphics are boldly colored, ideal for the game atmosphere. While the graphics are simple compared to other racing games, it is part of the charm. The sounds are all right, just what you’d expect from a bike. This game is ideal for those who are looking for stunt race games.

Bike Race Free, like many iOS apps, has in-app purchases. These IAPs allow you to unlock levels faster or buy other bikes. But they are not necessary to complete the game. The game is compatible with the iPad and iPod Touch.
