Touch Physics

Another physics based game. I have such an unhealthy love affair with these types of games. Many of you may remember the popular computer game Crayon Physics, well it seems only natural that this type of game come to the iPhone, and while the makers of Crayon Physics were working on other things, Touch Physics swooped in with their own version of the game. There currently is a Crayon Physics game in the AppStore, but Touch Physics is the cheaper version of it. The point of the game is to get the object down to the goal area by drawing shapes to move the object. It's a really fun game all together, but when you compare it to the original Crayon Physics, a part of it feels like a cheap bastardization of the popular computer game. It all depends on what you're will to pay for this type of game. You can either pay $4.99 for the original Crayon Physics or $1.99 for Touch Physics. My recommendation? Try out Crayon Physics online and download the lite version of Touch Physics to see which you like more.

Moon Drop

By the same people who brought you Scoops, here comes Moon Drop. The object of the game is to use your finger to control the decent of tiny spaceships so that they land softly on the moon's surface (bonus points for making it into the targeted space). You do so by touching the screen to negatively affect the ship's projection system. It's a little hard to describe because what happens is when you touch the screen, the ship's burner starts to go, which slows down the decent, but it also effects the direction it starts to go. Example: you touch to the right of the ship, it will move away from your finger and to the left. I have never been a fan of these kinds of games, too much hand-eye-coordination for me. The game runs smoothly and looks great, and it begins to get difficult as it adds more ships each round. If you are into this sort of thing, the $.99 will be well-spent, but if not, don't bother.

Crazy Machines

I love physic-based games, so naturally, Crazy Machines is right up my alley simply because it's a physic-based game that I can take with me. The object is to create a Rube Goldberg machine out of the given materials to make something happen. The most common scenario is to get the bowling ball to the goal area. Not only is this game fun, but it's challenging and a really fun puzzle. This is most definitely one of those games that will provide hours of brain-teasing exercises. Because there are multiple solutions for each level, this game really makes you use your brain and think about how you are going to make something happen. It really helps build problem solving skills while entertaining you at the same time. The graphics are very clean-cut and look fantabulous (fantastic and fabulous). The menu loading time takes a little longer than I would like, but that is no where near enough to make me regret this purchase. Currently $2.99 in the AppStore. Go get it now!!!

Ragdoll Blaster

At first I was a little hesitant to purchase this brand new app just for a review, being as how i am just a college student, with very little money, and no salary for this wonderful blog that Zack and I are putting together. Well, as you can see, I sucked it up, didnt buy food during my lunch break at Big 5 today and now I have a wonderful name app called Ragdoll Blaster!
Just by looking at the app description in the App Store, I could tell I already fell in love with this app. I enjoy playing the apps where physics plays a part in the game play. The point of this game is to shoot the little ragdolls out of the cannon until they hit the red bulls eye. You have as many shots as you need to hit the bulls eye. Just keep in mind, you are competing against yourself and you are trying to hit the target in as few shots as possible. Each level has different obstacles that makes the different levels more and more challenging. This is a great little game for any physics based enthusisat. There is both a Lite(FREE) version and a paid version for $1.99 in the App Store! Check it out and download it today. Even if you don't want to spend the money, download the FREE version and find out what all the hype is about. :D

iChalky

Ever been sitting in a doctor's office and a pretty cool song with an awesome beat comes on, and you start tapping your foot, and then your fingers, and then all of a sudden you are belting out the song whilst serenading the receptionist? Ya, me too! Well then this fun, quirky app is for you. iChalky is a great app for a little entertainment. He uses the accelerometer in your iPhone to dance the night away to the song Dancing in the Moonlight, by King Harvest, my personal favorite, or any other song your device picks up! :D And he uses the microphone to pick up the song and dance in rhythm to the song.
There are a few added features that were added with the update. Now you can take a picture of anything or anyone and make it the head on your little chalky buddy. It is fun to put your own head on the guy and watch him dance around to your favorite song. You are also able to pin your little guy anywhere on his body. This makes for a lot more fun. Throw him around by shaking your iPhone and watch him snap back to the pin! And also, in the settings you are able to change the sensitivity of the microphone, how springy he is, and how much friction there is between the walls and chalky. This is great for lots of laughs. If you want to check out iChalky, get your copy for $0.99 in the App Store! :D

Moonlights

Moonlights is a puzzle game that uses both the accelerometer and your ability to build up structures. The object is to to build up a small structure piece by piece until it reaches the moon and can remain in contact with the moon for 3 seconds. It is very similartomany flash-based physics games one can find all over the internet. Again, this is another fun little game to play when you have 5 or 10 minutes to spare, but probably not any longer than that. The music is nice and relaxing though, so it makes for a good stress-relieving game. $.99 in the App Store. Worth taking a look at, but I suggest looking up some physic-based games and play something similar just to see if you like it at all.
