Panic Flight By Bulkypix iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App


I have to admit, I've been in an iPhone app coma the past few months, and the negative election just made things worse. Now things are picking up, and Panic Flight has come my way to wake me up. Flawlessly draw your finger around the screen to direct your plane in this side scrolling flying game. You ever play a game where you say, "this game would be awesome if they would just add this or that feature?" As you play Panic Flight, you quickly see it's not lacking features like everyone's favorite grabbing coins, turbo boosts, cloud exploding shock waves, and even turn into a mini plane to navigate easier. Sounds fun except there are plenty of obstacles while flying your passengers to safety.

Fly freely around the skies, but you must find fuel for your plane, and dive around dark clouds and tornadoes, or pay the price of getting stuck and losing fuel. Speaking of clouds, a neat trick if you graze past them, is you'll speed up if you want to risk it, or grab a shockwave and explode the clouds. What keeps Panic Flight filled with office bathroom stall excitement, is the online game-center achievements and score challenges. Not enough? Reach goals that pop up like flying a certain distance, or grabbing a certain number of coins to keep you playing. Like many other games, you can buy coins or tally enough coins to purchase/unlock 21 missions, 10 planes, as well as multiple plane upgrades. The bad is it's a bit buggy and slow at times, but with a few updates it should be fine. Bulkypix has a slew of games in the App Store, and Panic Flight is a great one to add to the list.

MarleeSigns By MEDL Mobile iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

Everyone loves the beautiful and talented Marlee Matlin, so who better to begin learning Sign Language (ASL) from? MarleeSigns is a beginners app to learn to spell and memorize useful words in Sign Language. You'll be able to easily navigate through smooth, crystal clear video of Marlee showing you how to spell from A to Z, and learn to sign words and phrases like "thank you", "how are you", and "have a nice day"!
My favorite tool in MarleeSigns is the spell feature, which enables you to spell any word you want twelve letters or less. Just simply type a word into the search, and you'll see Marlee's hand sign your word back to you, with a karaoke letter by letter feature. Missed a sign? No problem, just swipe to see the previous letter signed. You can even switch hands in the picture if you're left handed, or hide your word and show a full screen sign. Okay maybe I lied, the true best feature of MarleeSigns is the fact it's free! So many iPhone apps are free these days, and I think it's pretty amazing to have the ability to learn a very important language, from the most famous deaf woman since Helen Keller for no charge. The last feature of Marlee Signs does involve money, but that is completely up to you if you so choose. There are currently five different lesson packs from Marlee, if you want to take your Sign Language skills to the next level for a $1.99 each. Overall, you really can't ask for more from a beautifully created app. If you're looking to learn Sign Language (ASL), there's no reason why you shouldn't give MarleeSigns a try.

5 Free Presidential Election iPhone Apps


Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend



Being that it's election time and our lives are engulfed with Mitt Romney and Barack Obama news, I thought it was time for a list of 5 Presidential Election 2012 iPhone apps for free. I've included one serious news app, and the rest are for fun and entertainment.

Presidents Run

Endless runner side scrolling game, where you play as characters like Mitt Romney or Barack Obama. Collect votes and jump over goats and protesters. As you run, you need to reach goals like go a certain distance, jump over 5 protesters, or collect a certain number of electroboots. Spend your votes on dressing up your president, or buy a head start or speed boost.


iMorph US Presidents

Take pictures of yourself or your friends faces, and watch it morph into presidents past and present. The app lets you line up your eyes, nose, and mouth for accuracy, and the game is guessing the president before the picture fully morphs. Play against your friends to see who can guess the fastest, or maybe you need to use the hint option.


Vote!!!

You've probably all ready heard of Vote!!! by the makers of Infinity Blade. If not, you fight as 3D Romney or Obama, and beat your opponent with weapons like a microphone or a hot dog on a stick. Choose from different locations like The White House Lawn or Oval Office, and dress your nominee up with some funny accessories. The graphics are great, the touch controls work as you'd want, and Obama and Romney even yap campaign slogans.


Angry Politicians

I really didn't want to add this one to my list because it's a knock off and very basic. The fact is, it kept me entertained for a bit, so maybe it'll do the same for you. If you're an Angry Birds fan and don't mind knockoffs, then have some fun slinging Romney, Santorum, and other Republicans to knock down towers of Obama, Biden, and other Democrats. As you knock down Harry Reid, he'll turn Republican red. If you haven't picked up on it yet, this is a Republican tailored app. No worries Democrats, you still get to sling Michele Bachmann up in the air, and who doesn't want to do that?


Election 2012

Figured as my last presidential app choice, I'd pick a serious one. Election 2012 is an up to date app with news and videos, so you can stay up to date on what Romney and Obama are up to. It's important that we don't fall for negative campaign ads by the Democrats and Republicans, and this crisp app makes it easy for you to know what information you need before casting your vote for the next President.

Prince of Balls By IKKI Arts iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App


This is a critical time to stay occupied while we listen to crazy talk during the Obama vs. Romney Presidential Race. So as you're watching the news wanting to pull your hair out and the moron speaking, just relax and slide open your iPhone. Prince of Balls is a new side scrolling game, where the object is to jump the least amount of times grabbing stars, coins, and other hidden treasures on your way to the finish line to find your princess. Your character is an orange ball prince with a crown, that can only jump left or right based on where you touch the screen. Your strategy through each level is to jump the correct height and angle depending on touch, to collect all the stars, coins, and hidden gifts, without wasting a jump. Jump wrong and you'll hit one of the obstacles or enemies and die. On the topic of dying, be sure to grab fruit, and cross the checkpoints before you run out of energy.
I chose to review Prince of Balls because there's a lot of iPhone games out with the same sort of features, but it's the golf score lowest amount of jumps, that gives it the WuzAPPenin originality thumbs up! Some neat features are gravity potions to float and magnetize to everything in your way, spring off of mushrooms, or even watch out for the slippery mud. You can download Prince of Balls Free, pay for 50 more levels, or even pay more for Prince of Balls HD, which in my opinion is pushing it. Whichever version you choose is up to you, but either way you're sure to have a new fun game at your fingertips.

Mole Kart 2 Evolution By Taomee Entertainment iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App



Well, I reviewed Mole Kart 1 awhile back, and I'm much more excited about Mole Kart 2 Evolution! It's real simple, if you sit on your couch with friends and play Mario Kart Wii, you're going to love how great Mole Kart 2 is on your little iPhone to get your fix. Let's not quote me people, it is just a phone, so I'm not saying it's like playing with a Wii steering wheel. I said it last time, in my opinion the kart needs to be bigger in proportion to the size of your screen. This time around in Mole Kart 2 Evolution, the characters and karts are bigger, and they've even added a drift button to slide around turns.
As you race past fiery dragons, slide through arrowed speed boosts and jumps, be sure to grab coins and question marks. Oh yeah, sometimes I forget not everyone has played Mario Kart. You grab question marks in the road which gives you the ability to speed boost, toss bombs, and even the Mario Kart shrinking lighting. You can shake the iPhone when you are flying over jumps to go faster, and grab coins to spend on characters, tracks, and tune ups. There's a story mode with 58 stages where you'll need to beat certain times, grab a certain amount of coins to earn stars and tracks, or just play in Quick Race mode. I said in my first review, "Mole Kart will be a really fun iPhone game with a few good updates", and Mole Kart 2 Evolution has done that.

FatMole By RoomLabDev iPhone Review


Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App




WARNING! When you are done playing this game, your body may feel like it's trying to gravitate towards objects around you. In FatMole, you tilt as deep as you can into the underground caves, by grabbing diamonds, power ups, and avoiding creatures spread around the screen. If you don't grab a diamond in time, you'll bungee back up the hole, and you won't find your stolen lunch from Tonny the evil mole! The graphics are worthy, and you can fall through levels like volcanoes, icebergs, and oceans filled with dragons and aliens.
You can spend your earned diamonds in the store on things like putting on a Mariachi suit, or put on wings to help you while you play. Struggling a bit?Spend diamonds on weights to help you drop quicker, or put on some
gloves to grab everything around you. The best part of FatMole is that you can challenge your friends on Facebook and set your own rules! You can do things like set the depth, and race to that point, play with creatures and boosts or without them, and even grab the diamonds before your buddy. RoomLabDev clearly understands, if people are going to keep their app, you have to have multiple ways to play, and you get that with FatMole FREE, or FatMole without ads or having to buy levels with diamonds.

Vote!!! By Chair Entertainment Group iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App



Vote!!! iPhone is really one of those iPhone games that doesn't need a review. I didn't say stop reading! What I meant was, you are cartoon Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, and you fight each other with different goofy weapons you can buy. That's the game. I decided to review Vote!!! iPhone because the real point of the app is to get people to vote. Even though this is an educational app for the 2012 Presidential Election, the game is actually pretty entertaining. Some of the features you'll like are, Obama and Romney are constantly yapping catch phrases, you can fight on the the Whitehouse Lawn, Oval Office, or Debate Stage, and buy goofy costumes to dress the next president in.
You could get bored pretty quick fighting the same fight with the same two people. What keeps Vote!!! iPhone entertaining is the funny disguises and goofy weapons, like a hot dog on a stick, ice cream, or whack 'em with the Constitution. Whether you like beating up the candidates or not, again the whole purpose of the app is to get people to Vote!!!, and provides you with some information and links. Millions will be playing without a doubt, and so far you can clearly see Barack Obama is destroying Mitt Romney in percentage points. What do you expect when you have people like Todd Akin, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity on your side. We'll see what happens come November, but for now, in game world Obama seems to be the winner in Vote!!!.

Mikey Shorts By BeaverTap Games iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App


If you've read WuzAPPenin reviews before, you know I love me some Super Mario type feel games. Mikey Shorts is without a doubt the best one I have found so far in the platform game category, and the controls are spectacular. You are Mikey, and your job is to rescue people that have been turned into statues. Touch "every" statue, grab coins, jump on moving platforms, and kill or avoid harmless in your way robots through 72 levels of fun! Yes I did quote "every" statue because you have to fill up the bar, or you can't bust through the gates to slowly get Mikey's memory back.

A few fun features with Mikey Shorts are spending your coins on disguises, find the hidden golden shorts in every level, and race your ghost to beat your best time. There is also online achievements and scores, and in options you can even move the controls wherever you please. The good or bad with Mikey Shorts, depending on how you look at it, is nothing other than falling to your death is going to kill you, as the real point is to find the fastest routes to get the oh so famous three stars. As you try to beat the fastest times on the leader-board, you'll find yourself restarting levels until you've lost all feeling in your hand. I even have Mikey Shorts to thank for entertaining me instead of throwing my TV controller at Sean Hannity! This is the first iPhone app for BeaverTap Games, and with more updates to come, Mikey Shorts will keep you entertained for hours.

Jackrabbit Sunshine By Studio MFB iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App


Jackrabbit Sunshine is a great game for endless runner fanatics. I myself am tired of endless runner games swiping and sliding to a point I'll never get past, like those of us who have tried to dunk without success. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are amazing for this category of iPhone game, but everyone has their preferences. What brought me to review Jackrabbit Sunshine is the controls are a tad different than normal endless runner games, there is an end, and it gives you more of a get lost in an Alice in Wonderland mushroom adventure world. Instead of having to swipe around 90 degree angle cliffs, you simply move your finger to the left and right to steer your jackrabbit, and swipe up to hop fences.

The storyline is you are a jackrabbit who hops through a mushroom forest filled with flowers to collect and rack up multiplier points, and mushrooms in your way to slow you down. The point of the Jackrabbit Sunshine is to see how far you can get before the sun sets, which you actually see happening in the sky above. When the moon and fireflies come out, the game is over, so eat carrots for speed boosts, and grab sunflowers to turn back time to catch a few extra sun rays. This is the first iPhone app for Studio MFB, and what a way to start! The developer Matt Baranowski has made it clear that this is just the beginning of the Jackrabbit Sunshine adventure, and I can't wait to see that red update in the app store soon.

Mega Run - Redford's Adventure By Get Set Games iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App


By now you must be familiar with games like Mega Jump or something similar. I have to be honest, the north moving games just are not for me, i'm an east and west gamer. Well, the good news is now you can play with Get Set Games graphics with forward moving Mega Run. Play as seven different characters through beautiful landscapes, and collect coins, gems, stars, and power ups. In your way of 64 levels are monsters you can hop on to kill, cliffs to jump over, walls to bust through, and plenty of other trinkets to keep you happy.
As you travel non stop through each level, you can level up to unlock and spend coins on accessories to freeze enemies, fly over obstacles,change characters, supersize your character, and a ton more. Every object catches your eye and does something different, like the bounce you back totem statues. The point is to grab everything you can without stopping, but I kind of wish there was an option to be able to move as you please. Either way, if you enjoyed games like Mega Jump, you'll definitely love Mega Run - Redford's Adventure.
