Tulipdancer, Princess of Unicorns, is a character that really connects with our core iPhone audience and adds to the iconic line-up of the Seremeres brand,"says Kai Hutchence, Seremere's Chief Creative Officer and developer of the Tulipdancer character. Seeing a big future for the IP he explained "I think we'll really see a deep connection with the character when people play through the story."</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Beyond iconic character design PTMLHA revolutionizes adventure gaming with a focus on emotion. Multiple characters are managed through the "Our Special Friendship" system highlighting dynamic ability and action linking between party members. As well spell-casting is done through the "True Feelings" system that allows characters to explore their character's emotions and ambitions as a source of power for their magical powers. "We feel it's important to shift the dynamic in video gaming and provide a way forward to more personal, existential storytelling, and the focus on exploring feelings and relationships in PTMLHA I think will be remembered for years to come as a truly influential development" Kai mused.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The project is promising a great future for Seremeres games, massively expanding their potential audience by being their first release on XBox Live. "We're thrilled to finally have a product on the system and we're sure that our core iPhone audience and our new fans-to-be on XBox Live will really latch on to this heartwarming adventure about discovering the meaning of true friendship," exclaimed company CEO Serena Samborski.

You are a goblin, and, shrewd as you are, you venture to make a living out of digging for treasure to be sold to various customers. Starting with a simple underground mining camp with only a single drill, a voracious troll useful for disposing unwanted goods, and a straightforward processing machine to turn items into more refined products, you slowly expand your business as you serve customer orders as fast as you can to earn the required amount in order to unlock the next level. Find rough-hewn obsidian, lapis lazuli, pyrite, and crystals, then turn them into an assortment of tools and weapons items that include shurikens, spears, lances, shields, helmets, and breastplates. <span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">As you progress, your machines likewise become more powerful and efficient, giving you the ability to mine more gems at once as well as create new and more expensive items for sale. You will also get a storeroom to stock goods, a siesta room for quick naps, engraving equipment to produce high-quality jewlery, and a makeshift barbecue grill to cook rats and keep customers happy in order to stay on top of the increasingly hectic and complicated demands. </span></span></i></span></i></span></i></span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></span></i></span></i></span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">After every level set, a mini game needs to be successfully completed in order to move on.

Dally or make too many incorrect moves and unhappy customers will give you fewer tips or eventually storm away in anger. On the other hand, planning carefully and serving orders in chains earns you combos and more points to boost your score, which is a necessity if you want to hit the expert mark after a hard day's work. Apart from all that, there are tons of features and surprises packed into the game, but we'll let you discover them on your own. This polished content-packed title is currently priced at $ 2.99 on the iTunes AppStore, and we're positive you won't regret it if you check it out. </span></span></i></span></i></span></i></span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Suggestions for improvement: One major thing we found missing that's basic to all time management games is a status bar of some sort to show players customer happiness and the rate at which it declines.

But imagine using a similar concept and replacing it with a much more interesting theme - one where it's always nighttime and zombies are out to get you.<br /><br />Coming at your little house right and left, these hordes of hungry undead are deathly committed to one single goal: to break down your walls and eat you alive. There's your average Zombie Joe who moves at a normal pace and possesses no special abilities, screeching Zombie Lucy with her incredible speed, gun-wielding sharpshooter Zombie Tom, bomb-clutching ex-Redneck Zombie Dewey, and more. They sound horrifying, but if there's one thing that can defeat them, it's your finger. There's not much time to lose though, so swipe, flick, drag, and tap at the screen as quickly and accurately as you can to send these invaders flying all over the place before they get too close to your doors and windows.</span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">When you make a kill, you'll earn stars that you can use (in accumulated quantities) to buy house and weapon upgrades, and you'll also periodically get cool items to use against your foes, including stones, rifles, mine blasts, grenades, giant concrete blocks, and huge wrecking balls. Apart from utilizing these awesome tools to blast, sweep, shoot, rip, and tear zombies into bloody pieces, you can also freeze them into stiff ice statues or burn them to a crisp.

Titles like Tap Tap Revenge, Guitar Hero, and (recently) <a href="http://app-reciationreviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/review-thumpies.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">Thumpies</span></a> seem to have developed on most of what there is to a good rhythm game, and to that end, countless game studios have tried to imitate these originals.<br /><br />As the biggest and most successful music company in the world, Universal Music Recordings naturally upholds a certain standard, and while at first you might think their newly released app </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Six-String</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> simply copies off others' ideas, you'll think differently once you play the game.<br /><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Simply put, Six-String combines some of the most realistic guitar mechanics we've ever seen on a mobile device with fun and challenging gameplay.The rules are simple enough - anticipate as color-coded notes move towards the guitar's pickup (these are coils located on the Tailpiece near the bottom of the instrument) and tap, swipe, or hold appropriately as soon as the cues cross directly overhead. Pluck virtual strings when you see green dots, hold until the end of yellow lines, and strum your finger(s) across blue or green arrows. Medium and difficult levels will require you to occasionally change chords as well, and to do this, simply tap on the blue button that appears at the bottom of the screen. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">If you're too early or too late at any point of the game, the resultant music will sound a little off, and you'll lose any streaks you were building as well as decrease your accuracy percentage. On the other hand, hitting notes perfectly will increase both a health and a multiplier meter that (when full) lets you shake your device to multiply points by eight for a short period of time.

Apart from these, you can browse through new songs at the in-game store, preview them, and buy what you like for $ 0.99 each. The continuously growing library will ensure that you never get bored with the content, while two game modes (Practice and Studio) and a moderate level of difficulty provide a fair amount of variation and keep things challenging for even the most hardcore of players. </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Finally, the developers have also decided to integrate Six-String with social gaming platform Plus+, allowing customers to earn achievements and points, compare scores over the online leaderboard, and even challenge other players to a music match. From the amount of features to the overall level of polish, it looks like rhythm app veterans have met their match. Needless to say, we highly recommend this game to fans of the genre! </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Suggestions for improvement: For $ 4.99, we'd like to see more free tracks and maybe music bundles for purchase instead of individual songs at an additional $ 0.99 each.

Frantic, heart-pumping action keep you on your toes in <b>Jailbreak - Voice Onrush</b>, a retro-inspired maze chase title much in the same vein as gaming classic Pacman.<br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">At the start of the game, you find yourself waking up in a strange facility, with no recollection of preceding events. Your first instinct, obviously, is to get out, and while you quickly find a key card and unlock the door, this is only the first of many rooms to escape from. It becomes immediately apparent that succeeding levels take on a whole new dimension, because you not only have to find objects - colored keys, tools, switches, etc. - to aid in your release, you also have to expertly navigate the twisting paths while eluding a host of swift-footed pursuers within a time limit and with stamina constraints. Use either the accelerometer, touch controls, or virtual joystick to direct your character through various unique environments that range from sterile hospitals with empty beds to tiled grocery shops to full parking lots to underground corridors. This may sound simple enough, but we have to warn you that even playing on the first difficulty level, this game is by no means easy. There are, of course, options that help keep things on a challenging but manageable level: you can sprint to escape imminent capture, use your sense radar to steer clear of opponents, and even equip power-ups that grant you amazing abilities for a short while.<br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Featuring a story mode as well as unlockable survival and free mode levels, Voice Onrush promises long hours of gameplay and a fair amount of replayability. The deliberately pixelated graphics add a unique touch, while a hectic and rather unnerving soundtrack keep you fully immersed in the game as you try to maneuver your way out of a disconcerting situation. Will you fall into the hands of your persistent and mysterious enemies or find your way to freedom? </span></span></i></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Suggestions for improvement: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;font-family:Georgia,serif;" ><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Navigation is rather difficult, even with three control options available (for example, the joystick is not as responsive as it could be whereas swiping covers a sizable amount of the screen and is not ideal for moving around). <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;font-family:Georgia,serif;" ><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The environments and the app icon are a little too dull and could use some work to make things more appealing.</span></span></i></span></span></span></i></span></span></span></i></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Breakdown:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Graphics - 3.5/5 Creativity - 4.5/5 Gameplay - 4.5/5 Controls - 4/5</span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">App-reciation - 4/5</span></span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></b></div><div><a href="http://www.omnixtudio.com/home.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Learn more about Jailbreak: Voice Onrush</span></span></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span><div><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=355664630&mt=8" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Click to buy this application</span></span></span></a></div></div></div>App-reciation Reviewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02143042562301342763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087996730420329403.post-31490913049151371772010-03-19T02:30:00.004+08:002010-03-19T02:36:10.057+08:00Press Release: FaceFighter Premium Content<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Appy Entertainment Adds Premium Content To FaceFighter</span></span></b></div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Following on the heels of a promotion that saw them give away over one million copies of their best-selling iPhone game, FaceFighter, Appy Entertainment has added premium content to their fast-paced punching game for in-app purchase. "Even after a half-dozen free updates adding new weapons, enemies, and finishing moves to the game -- as well as two player mode -- our fans still asked for more," said Appy Entertainment Brand Director Paul O'Connor.

"We'll be following-up this new content with a deluxe version of FaceFighter for Apple's new iPad -- called FaceFighter Face 2 Face -- and we have another big surprise for our iPhone and iPod touch players coming this summer.

Utilizing a flawless flight engine and smooth accelerometer controls, your task is to explore and collect various items scattered through the serene pine-lined plains and rough rocky peaks of Berk, the smooth brown mountains and fresh green plateaus of Dark Deep, the snow-covered caps and pristine landscape of Shivering Shores. Collectibles include three types of insects that range from common to rare, but apart from these you will periodically have to look for objects that are part of your main quest.<br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Rather than being action-packed and exciting, the game is laid-back and quite relaxing. Although objectives are varied and plentiful, they do not involve fights or anything of the sort. Instead, they mostly revolve around searching for and acquiring tools and things that ultimately serve the purpose of rehabilitating Toothless, who is unfortunately slow and a bit unresponsive at the start due to an injury. Still, there's never a lack of things to do, because this title features a wide array of challenges - locating treasure, catching fish, and performing spectacular dives, to name a few - that need to be performed within a time limit. Achievements, too, keep the game interesting and increase gameplay value, while sounds and visuals are perfectly suited to the storyline and serve to enhance the calm atmosphere and tranquility that characterize the app. </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Everything makes for a nice change from the countless (and prevalent) energetic, accelerated genres available, so if you're looking for an adventure to occupy you and help you unwind after a long, stressful day, nothing could be more perfect.

The task is to assist two nice, but clumsy dwarves in obtaining precious stones from the rich mine, where gems are showering down from the arch. The dwarves are controlled by tapping the screen and his fellow worker is moved using the accelerometer. In every cave there are 6 picks to throw. If you catch a falling pick, you can use it again and this increases your chances to win. The deeper dwarves go, the more indestructible the obstacles and enemies they meet. Such underground inhabitances as ghosts, bats, spiders and cobwebs love to steal picks. The level lasts until you bring down the last gem (you win) or use your last pick (you fail).</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The game has a useful tutorial and a high score system besides.

Not surprisingly, creative minds always find a way to put a new spin to old concepts, and that is exactly what the developer did with <b>Fly Away Rabbit</b>, a fresh and interesting casual game for the iPhone and iPod touch. </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The app welcomes you to the simple and charming moonlit world of a small bunny rabbit, who holds on to the string of a lone red balloon and dreams of reaching the clouds. Unfortunately, his way is blocked by various shapes - rectangles, circles, and irregular blocks crafted in the style of Tetris pieces - some bouncy, some dangerous, some immovable. Your task is to help him by removing the blocks carefully while taking note of the natural reactions that occur with every shift, keeping him safely stable as you do so. Simply tap on a piece and it will quickly float away into the distance while your bunny and remaining pieces adjust according to a smoothly realistic physics engine, the difference being that this one works with a gravitational pull towards the sky instead of the other way around. <span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">With practice and a little trial-and-error, you'll quickly get the hang of things and successfully land bunny and his balloon among the fluffy clouds. </span></span></i></span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">All in all, there are forty eight levels of increasingly tricky puzzles spread over three difficulty tiers to solve.

It's currently priced at a mere $ 0.99, so grab it now and enjoy a truly relaxing experience! </span></span></i></span></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Suggestions for improvement: We're really hoping to see more levels in an update, since everything can be solved in under half an hour.

Recently, the inventors have undertaken to translate their project into a fully functional iPhone version, and its first public release, a software called iHal, has just become available for $ 9.99 on the iTunes AppStore.</span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Basically, the application lets users train a program into an intelligent personality capable of responding to human language. You'll start with a Hal that knows nothing except to say "Hi mommy" to your "Hi Hal", and gradually shape his character by either accepting his answers as correct or editing them into what you deem as the proper reply. As you spend more and more time with him, he'll quickly learn based on your input and acquire individualism from everything you teach him. Because of this, Hal can be anything from funny to depressing to polished to crude, and he can also speak anything from regular English or French to Avatar's Na'vi and even a method of communication created entirely from your imagination. However you choose your Hal to develop, only your time and effort limit his growth possibilities.</span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Although the interface is simple and there is little in the way of graphics and visual enhancements, training and conversing with your very own Hal will keep you happily entertained for as long as you're occupied with the app. There is a certain gratification that comes with successfully evolving a virtual 'child' into a mature and conversant machine, and we were delighted with our Hal's progress after only a few sessions.

Inspired by Sauce Digital's Nano Rally, this game takes the top-down racing concept and places it in a world of hand-drawn rulers, graphing paper, compasses, spilled watercolor, and pencil rocks - giant elements that make up the basic composition and style of five different race environments. </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">On launching, you'll discover two game modes: Single Race lets you practice your driving skills and explore maps in either solo or vs. CPU mode, allowing you to get a hang of the gameplay and controls before you check out Championship and go head to head with three other opponents in a continuous points-based comprehensive track race. Choose a car color (red, blue, or white) as well as allocate a limited number of points to statistics that include speed, acceleration, handling, weight, and items in order to customize your ride to suit preferences. Use simple touch or tilt controls to steer your vehicle through the curving roads, and gain the upper hand by using creative power-ups or weapons that become available throughout your races. There are seven unique packages altogether, letting you shoot pencils, create gaping black holes, and fire yellow pellets to confuse and deter your opponents, or fly past them with a rocket boost and crush them with the body of your temporarily enlarged vehicle. </span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Overall, the game comes with various grades of difficulty as well as twenty five unique levels, each carefully crafted and designed.
