My PS3 is broken, my Wii is in pieces and my PC is a Mac. Where can I get a never ending selection of awesome gameplay and daytime fun? Apple’s App store for iPhone! Where better to get a supply of ultra cheap and addictive games! So addictive, my iPhone battery will need to be charged again before lunch!
First App in my new sporadic series of iPhone game reviews is Collision Effect from popular phone game publishers, Chillingo.
I’m forever chewing through new games on the iPhone. I picked up Collision Effect just before bed time last night and for the last 12 hours it’s been my activity of choice.
Collision Effect comes in two modes, Action and Puzzle. Action plunges you into the world of the Zybbles. Zybbles are moving stars that have a need to be merged with all the other Zybbles of the same colour on the screen. Your job is to help them. Touch a Zybble and all the others of the same colour will make straight for the chosen one, coming together in a explosive orgy of love! Wave after wave, the Zybbles will come for you, never satisfied till you fail!
Be careful, if Zybbles touch another Zybble of a different colour and that’s it! No second chances, no replay, that’s it. Games over son, try again!
Action mode comes in three difficulty levels, easy, normal and hard. Have a look at easy when you first download the game but it’s pretty slow and the score stays low so you will want to progress to the harder levels quickly.
If action mode wasn’t enough, and for the price I would be very happy with action mode, puzzle mode makes you think a whole different way! Puzzle mode gives you a collection of Zibbles arranged in patterns, ever increasing in difficulty. The Zibbles wont move till you touch one but make sure its the right one or you will send them on a collision course with the wrong colour and you know how unforgiving Zibbles are!
The graphics are stunning and the soundtrack in Collision Effect is mesmerising to say the least! You are going to want this game turned all the way up!
Puzzle mode is a bit short with only 60 puzzles to solve but fingers crossed an update with more levels appears in the future. This is a game you will want to keep just incase.
The price is also right at $1.19 Australian and, I assume, 0.89 cents in the US.
