Zoom User Reviews FEATURED APP Remember when not wanting to work and banging on your drum all day actually involved hitting stretched leather over a hollowed log? Me either. Rhythm games are all bright buttons and tech nowadays. It’s great and all but if you’re getting just a wee bit tired of all the neon flashing past your screen and craving a more organic rhythm experience, Thumpies is where it’s at. With Thumpies, you are back in nature, to a time before DanceDance and TapTap, to when rotten zombie fuzzballs that eat butterflies roamed freely and bounced from fungus to tree trunk. Released by Big Blue Bubble, Thumpies is a really interesting take on rhythm based gaming. The adorably grotesque fuzz creatures drop from the sky onto your “drum pads” and bounce around in short loops. Tapping the drums when the fuzzballs land on them will play the corresponding beat. It’s important to note that they will bounce around in rhythm whether or not you hit the drums which means scoring will be much easier once you catch their rhythm pattern as opposed to a Whack-A-Mole kind of strategy. Capture of butterflies, which are used to unlock new Thumpies, is an optional extra challenge to the game. An empty Thump-O-Meter means bye-bye captured butterflies, but unlike other rhythm games, your game is not over if your Thump-O-Meter is empty. Hitting the drums at the right times will fill up your meter and once the meter is full, you will advance to the next part of your rhythm. Each part gets added to the last until you have a nice little rhythmic symphony going. There are 16 levels you can unlock and the rhythms for all of them are as unique as the Thumpies themselves. In some levels, the active beat felt a little out of sync with the background rhythm, though the developers have recommended making sure your device has the latest update installed for best results. I was able to breeze through the levels pretty quickly though I’ll definitely be going back multiple times to improve my scores and/or just to bob my head along with the nifty beats. Hopefully future updates will also fix the syncing problems and include more levels. Thumpies is truly a novel and entertaining concept and its high-quality permeates all aspects of the game. It is in the AppStore for $2.99, but you can also experience a bit of the wildness for free with Thumpies Zero.

The plot behind the game is revealed little by little as you start playing. You are Joe. Meet your uncle Jeb who is running an ore mining station and needs your help. You start out with a basic ship that you mind with and as you increase your earnings, you’ll be able to buy upgrades that will help you achieve even higher earnings and so on. Your old uncle Jeb has a southern accent which brings humor into the game. Along with speech bubbles and cartoon like characters, space minor builds slowly and gets you to learn bit by bit. First you’ll work on flying your ship around space which can be tricky to fine-tune. It helps to master flying first before you start using your laser gun to blast away asteroids flying around. As the levels increase you’ll have to also kill hostile robots that shoot at you and then return you can mine their parts for money. Finding ore will get more challenging when you’ll encounter space dust, lowering your visibility as you maneuver around. You can visit your apartment where you have access to your statistics, awards that you have gathered, and your plus home (the online community and scoreboard). equip your ship gives you six main areas to boost including reactors, engines, collectors, weapons, shields, and scanners. You can also customize many options such as flipping the controls, enabling auto-fire, and customizing all aspects of the controls. The sector map to see available areas for mining. During your missions you’ll run into satellites where you can download additional maps and unlock new sectors. After each mission in her space minor will tally up your loot and increase your score, showing you the progress of reaching the next license level that will give you access to new sectors. There are many parts to the game that make it unique. Besides the awesome banjo music and sharp crisp graphics, the flying simulation and time travel sequences in the game are entertaining to watch. Blasting away asteroids and avoiding others as you fly will take some practice but you do have a shield that will protect you for some time in case you do ram into a space rock. Space Miner deserves serious praise for its perfect attention to every details and being brave enough to try something new. It’s one of those games that take time getting used to but when you do, you’ll find your free time being being spent on it entirely. It’s the perfect combination of low stress, high reward, gather and grow style iPhone game. We can’t recommend enough. Space Ore Bust!

Zoom User Reviews FEATURED APP Alice in Wonderland, is the new Disney Interactive iPhone game made for the upcoming Tim Burton film of the same name. Featuring Alice in a puzzle based strategy game, the virtual controls are provided for moving Alice left to right using directional buttons and jump with a jump button, as you encounter magical objects and new characters trying to solve To switch between characters you tap on Alice and choose one to transform into, and use their special powers to get past the various mazes. You can also interact with most objects in the game by tapping on the action button in the middle of the screen when it shows up. Characters include: The Cheshire Cat: make objects appear or disappear with the power of his ability March Hare: move objects using the power of telekinesis Mad Hatter: transform objects with the power of transformation White Rabbit: can freeze time, release objects and enemies with the power of time If you remember playing Pitfall on the Atari you will have a good idea for how Alice in Wonderland moves around on the screen. There are lots and lots of tricky areas where you’ll have to find combinations of movements and powers to make your way across the path. If you make wrong moves you will get stuck, or at least think that you are stuck until you find a way out. There are subtle clues and speech bubbles that try to help. The Journal is where Alice keeps her magical items from Wonderland, including Photos, In-Game items, GPS apps, Riddles, and dates. These goodies are unlocked using various methods, such as being in the right place physically, answering questions and also for finding them in the game itself. The soundtrack music is brilliant and very fitting for the game. Graphics and interface are well designed and colorful. All the animations smooth but at times using the run and jump button simultaneously can be tricky. Perhaps having an option to use tilt for running might be a good alternative here. The jump button not only jumps Alice up but also moves her forward which is nice but can be awkward sometimes. Touching the poles with the torches within levels serves as a checkpoint, however if you quit out while in a level, you have to start that level over again. The Alice in Wonderland game for the iPhone and iPod touch sells for $4.99 and you can try a light version for free in the app store. Grab a copy and get yourself ready for the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie: An Adventure Beyond The Mirror, and want something related to keep you busy for a some time.
