There this game I’ve been playing with during the past weekend that I think you should download right now. I don’t usually play that many games on my iPhone, as I mostly use it as a “productive” device for the stuff I have to do my MacStories like mails, tasks, projects and so on. But, since Canabalt came out some months ago I started buying these simple yet addictive games that are usually packed in weird pixellated graphics.
Anyway, this game I discovered is called Polyhedra, and it’s very simple. All you have to do is to fill a percentage of the screen with geometric shapes. To draw shapes, you have to tap and hold your finger on the screen: the longer you hold, the bigger the shape. So where’s the difficulty? First, you can create a limited number of shapes (the number changes for each level). Then, there are enemies (bouncing little balls) that will destroy the shape you’re creating if they touch you. Sounds weird, but it works.
The game is all about physics (for enemies and shapes) and gravity, as you can rotate the iPhone in an direction to move the shapes around. Graphics are colorful and fluid, soundtrack is awesome, there are many options to play with.
At $0.99 in the App Store, you should go buy this little gem and become addicted like me. One of the best games I’ve ever played on my iPhone.
See you on the leaderboard.
