Freeballin' Pinball

Another gold star game has been released in the app store - and it's the first time pinball has been successfully executed on the iPhone. This game is incredibly polished and very fun to play. The control style is intuative (screen split in half, each side controls a flipper). There are currently 4 boards to play on, each one has it's own special 'side-boards' that you can unlock. The game uses high frame panning to provide a much smoother, and larger game area.

At first you may think this game is very boring - but the more you play, the more you unlock, and the more you unlock, the more badass the tables get. I've taken a few snapshots of the board and stitched them together. This board is called Monsteroplois and is my favourite of the 4. If you're considering buying this game I would totally encourage you.

Easy controls, fun to play, $1.99 (4.5/5)

Koi Pond

One of the first famous applications to hit the iPhone, Koi Pond is only 99c and has at least $1.99 worth of value! The graphics are crisp and smooth, the sound of rain and ambient swamp are good enough to simply listen to on headphones for a little relaxation, and of course, the water ripple on the touch screen is perfect for zoning out.

Koi pond is a great application for showing off your iPhone, and it's also great for its sound effects.

Eveything you need in an app, very polished! (5/5)

Eye Tricks

This is an older free application that gives the user nearly 50 different 'eye tricks'. The vast majority you have seen before, which is terribly disappointing since a touch screen seems like the perfect platform for this! There are a small number of moving ones, and they're my favourite.

Since this application is free, I can't rip it a new one. You will download this, trip out on the spiral ones a little and then delete it off your phone.

The app simply isn't fun because everyone's seen them all! (2/5)

Artisan

This newer application is a spin-off of 'Spawn Illuminati'. The quality is inferior and it provides much less fun. The app still costs the same as Spawn, so don't waste your money on Artisan.

Conscious bothering you?

They're both made by the same developer, so don't worry! This app has some neat features; the image here shows the different control modes (about 1/6 of what's available on Spawn). The art pasted below is stuff I made after memorizing the controls.

The touch capabilities are pretty useless. It will follow your finger like spawn, but instead of cool patterns and explosions, it just globs up on top of itself. Useless! One fun thing to do is round up a tight ball of 'artisan' and watch it bounce around. Unlike Spawn, the paint will never disburse or explode, so its bounces evenly, perfect for creating patterns!

Don't waste your money. (2/5)

Bubbles

This app was one of the first that I downloaded.

It's free, it's cute, it's easily one of the most rewarding applications out there. The picture is sharp, the bubbles are shiny, and you can't help but love the cute popping sound of the bubbles. This software is an excellent application of the touch technology, and a fun way to entertain seniors... haha!

This application takes up very little memory, and is an absolute staple for all iPhone users. Highly recommend downloading this one.

Get this first! (5/5)

Night Stand

This application is compleltey free and has probably the best possible icon.
Now, I haven't done much research on the developer, but I'm guessing that the fellow likes to enjoy the soothing sensation of marijuana. The icon is permanently set to 4:20, which of course is known worldwide as a date and time of day to smoke the sweet sensai.

The application has plenty of options including an alarm. If you have something nice to stand your phone up, this application would eliminate the need for a clock radio!

It is for this reason that I give Night Stand it's own special place as third app ever to be reviewed by me. I hope everyone likes the posts, please check back often to encourage more work.

420 Icon?! Get this now!! (5/5)

iPhone Everything

Hello.
I own an iphone and live by it. I've created this space to document how great and awful some of these apps are. I hope you enjoy and I also hope to gain traffic and profit. Bon Appetite!
