DynaZoo is an interesting app. It’s supposedly for kids, but as an adult I found it pretty difficult… then again, my girlfriend does say I’m pretty childish sometimes, so take that with a grain of salt! DynaZoo, by Apps4U, is a matching game on methamphetamine and it’s unapologetic about it – their sub-title is “Animal Matching ... Read More

Here’s a cute puzzle app for children – Whimsy Animals, by David Ross. It’s the rare household with children that doesn’t have at least one puzzle hidden somewhere, in the back of a closet, or out in the open on the bedroom floor. Puzzles are not only fun to put together, they work your child’s ... Read More

It’s too easy to overlook all the great games in the App Store. With so many options, and so many new games released every day, it’s easy to just get caught up in what Apple recommends as the latest and greatest. I like to search deep down into the bowels of the App Store, sifting ... Read More
Kid’z Maze (1)
2/24/10 •
Whenever I see the plethora of kids apps in the iTunes App Store, I’m constantly reminded of how big this market is – even Apple recently highlighted a section called Apps for Kids in that rotating column of theirs at the top of the App Store screen. Given my exceptional reviews of a few kids ... Read More
Bad Apples (0)
2/10/10 •
Every so often I come across a game that I can see myself playing over and over again. Or one, at least, that’s clever and quirky enough to wedge itself into my usual game rotation; given my obsessiveness over games, this is hardly a trifle characteristic. Bad Apples by Metaversal Studios is one such game ... Read More
Gluons (1)
2/10/10 •
Gluons by 2 Cubed reminds me a bit of Furballs in Space! It has the same, ominous music common to sci-fi flicks set in space, and it involves a similar premise of connecting like objects together, to eventually collect enough together to rack up points. Only, in Furballs, the objects played with were of the ... Read More
Adams Trouble Full (2)
1/26/10 •
This past August, I came across a game called Adams Trouble, the lite version, from a developer who requested a review from Appstruck. I admit, my first impressions were slightly of the nauseated variety – having looked over the main character, Adam, I described him as, “a strange, amorphous, reddish beige creature with bulging eyes, ...

1/21/10 •
Flinger Frenzy is a new game by Motion 9 Studios that takes a creative twist on the usual block-breaking game. Rather than the usual scenario of objects falling down and you fumbling your fingers around the screen, back and forth, shooting blocks and trying to beat the clock, or catching a ball as it falls ...

Rafter (0)
1/19/10 •
At last, I have a new favorite game – a favorite not only for its excellent presentation and ability to be picked up on the fly, but a favorite for its original spin on a classic setup. Rafter, by Punflay, immediately besets a puzzling situation amid the drawing board likeness of a Leonardo Da Vinci sketch, ... Read More
Knock Your Blocks Off! (0)
1/19/10 •
/blockquote> When I play a game, I like to rotate my iPhone to the left. Block Off, by Martin Wiesner, immediately loses points for only allowing the game to display one way. I’m trying not to overreact about this, but it really bugs me, to the point that I used italics. Anyways, Block Off is ... Read More
