Balls are falling all over the place and you are a stick figure, who have to avoid these balls from crushing you that is pretty much the whole game, now this might sound very simple and it is but something about the game will make you come back for more… but will that last for long ? Read on to find out

This is a game I had seen back from my iPhone days and if I recall correctly the game had the same name minus the free, so this is not a new idea. But this is one of that game that will attract a lot of players coz the game has a simple gameplay that anyone can easily pick up and enjoy. The game has a simple menu and offers an online leaderboard where you can post your score if you have of of the top 10 all time scores. I kinda wish the dev would update this to add daily , weekly scores to this coz that will give players more reason to chase after the highscore, coz the all time scores are pretty difficult to beat not coz the game is hard but you will probably just get bored to death before you hit that score.

Now the game it self is quite simple you are a stick man ( gotta love em stickman, takes me back to the time when all cool kids used to make a stick man video ) and you try to avoid the falling balls. You use the accelerometer to move your character, there is no way to adjust the sensitivity but I found it to work well for me ( YMMV ). You have 2 action that you use one is jump ( a button on the left ) and use rockets to shoot the balls ( button on the right ). The rockets can only be shot straight up and it can be used to shoot balls that are falling down on you and they split up. You also find various balls that acts as power ups that you can pick up. You can find bonus points , life and rockets. Initially you get 3 life and your goal is to survive as long as possible. The game will save your progress if you jump out and will give you the option to load the save game when you re-launch the game. Eventually a ball will hit you and when it does you splatters blood all over the place ( so it might not be something that you want little kids to play ) and once you run out of life you get the Looney Tune’s Porky Pig ” …… that’s all folks! ” audio track ( don’t ask us why )

The gamplay is fun when you start the game and will be fun if you play the game in short burst and with almost no learning curve to it the game will definitely have a lot of fans and will be a good game for those 2-3 minutes break. But try to play it for long and you will find yourself losing interest in it pretty quickly. So would I recommend it ? With a zero price tag and simple and fun gameplay ( in short burst ) I don’t see a reason why anyone would not want to try it.
