Big Bad Flower

Publisher: Big Bad Brush  |  Cost: $0.99



Big Bad Flower is one of those games that's so simple it's boring, but also sooo cute, you'll put up with it. Although simple, this game is very polished in terms of presentation and entertainment values.

While as simple as it is, the action actually gets intense and you might hurt your fingers if you're careless.

Big Bad Flower gameplay is simple, cute but evil animals will pop-up seeking to put you back to the soils and so do defend yourself, you must draw a circle around them before they attack to encapsulate them in a bubble. After the animals have been captured you simply swipe the screen to "blow" them off into the far E.T. lands (outer space).



You can draw big bubbles and capture multiple evil creatures at the same time but the bigger your bubble is, the quicker the bubble will burst (yes, the bubbles DO burst after a certain amount of time if you don't blow them off).

The level and action is quite easy at the beginning, fits quite nicely with the friendly and happy theme. However, as you progress in the game different funny animals will appear and the actions start to get a bit fractic.



The mechanics of Big Bad Flower is quite simple, but the vibrant graphics and fast-paced gameplay is not for the weak-hearted ones. So if you think you can take a back-seat grabbing this game you're totally wrong.

Can Knockdown

Publisher: Infinite Dreams  |  Cost: FREE



Love theme parks and fairs with all sorts of games you can play? Ever spent that extra buck just to have another crack at knocking down all the bottles (cans) but failing miserably? If you do, Can Knockdown will bring joy to you like Christmas.

The goal is simple -- to knock down as many cans as you can before you run out of balls. For each level you pass you will gain 1 additional ball and by scoring strikes (completing the level with your 1st ball) you'll get a score multiplier that carries to the next level.



You may be wondering how is this fun or any better than "paper toss" games? Well, trust me it is. The awesome graphics and physics touch on the game is so immersive and pleasing it'll make you glee with joy even if your ball hits nothing but the wall!

The game also has "bullet time" animations once in a while so you can feel the impact and awesomeness of your throw with extra emotions. Every time this triggers it has me going "Ohhh yeah. I'm GOOD baby."

Can can placements are quite smart and you will also come across different cans such as the red one below, which will explode upon direct hit. The explosion combined with bullet-time effect, man it's like Santa himself is in town.



By default the game only has 1 mode but you can make an additional purchase (Winter Play) to play a different theme / setting. But of course being cheap, I didn't buy it you guys will have to find that part out on your own. My record so far is 133, let's see if you can beat that!

Mega Jump

Publisher: Get Set Games  |  Cost: FREE



Mega Jump is a well-polished vertical scroller. It's as simple as any other of its kind you try to reach as high as possible by tilting your iPhone to get through the obstacles in your way. Having said that, it's one of my favorite vertical scrollers to date and here's why.

Being an eye-candy whore the awesome graphics grabbed me instantly -- then being a sucker for all-things-cute the cuddly characters had me going for hours! But that's not all, Mega Jump offers a wide variety of elements in the game but yet it is so simple. Other vertical scrollers have obstacles that you'll run into or random platforms that you'll likely to miss. However, in Mega Jump there are COINS ($$$!!) that you have to collect -- each coin you collect, and only if you collect it, will propel you upward.

Sure feels better than hitting your face or missing that damned platform huh?


The coins you collect along the way gets translated into stars and with the stars you are able to unlock new contents such as power-ups or new OH-so-cuddly playable animals!



Aside from collecting coins you will also come across different power ups such as magnets which attracts coins to you automatically, or stars which propel you further than a coin would do, or some crazy stuff that just shoots you straight up for a long-time ignoring all obstacles in the way (my favorite), and a whole lot more:



Besides the fun mechanics of the game, there's also another interesting design in Mega Jump -- there are multiple levels like any other games, but each level is also "connected". Once you reach a certain height you can always come back and start from that height (level) afterwards. The vertical-world is one big connected theme park for your pleasure!

Like cute things? like money? like a well-polished vertical scroller game? Then download it now and you can have it all.
