Knight Defense for iPhoneMany lazy afternoons lately, so how about playing a little game on your iPhone? My answer’s fine, so I looked around and did a little search work then I found this interesting game – the Knight Defense, it is actually a Tower Defense game with a Twist, and it’s more interesting!

 

Knight Defense combines action and strategy in a dynamic re-imagining of the tower defense genre. It’s bold, intelligent, challenging & fun. If you have a shiny new iPhone 4, the game takes full advantage of the HD Retina Display.

 

Well as a game we should first check out the gameplay, right? In this case, the gameplay’s a little complicated but not too quirky, it’s actually great gameplay that you’ll love:

 
- Defeat all waves of enemies without losing your King.
- Your pieces fire at enemies in distinct patterns reminiscent of chess pieces. Each time a piece fires in a particular direction there is a short delay before it can fire again in that direction.
- If an enemy hits one of your pieces it explodes and damages that piece (and sometimes the pieces around it).
- Combos: destroy multiple enemies at once to greatly increase your score.
- Each of your pieces can be upgraded 7 times, increasing health and attack, as well as healing the piece back to full health and allowing it to fire immediately in all available directions.
- Each piece has a unique special ability with a cooldown before it can be used again. Eg. making nearby pieces fire twice as fast or healing nearby pieces.
- Enemies vary in health, speed and attack power.
- Enemies home towards your King, so where you position him determines their movement.
- Pieces can protect each other, reducing the damage they take.
- Tap the skip button make the next wave arrive immediately.

 

And here’re some special features about this interesting new game:

 
- Move and upgrade your forces in real-time to defeat the waves of enemies determined to destroy your king.
- Each level is a hand-crafted scenario with many different ways to win.
- The levels are divided into easy, medium and hard difficulties. Can you beat the hard levels?
- Unlock achievements and rocket to the top of the global leader boards with OpenFeint!
- Free updates to come – more levels and achievements.
- Resume exactly where you left off when you restart the app.

 

So generally speaking, the Knight Defense game for the iPhone and iPod Touch is just one of the thousands of Tower Defense games, but what makes it different is that it has a really great twist! Try it, you’ll find yourself love it!

SquareBusta for iPhoneAfter so many years we still love the Tetris game, it is indeed a very simple game even a kid can understand the gameplay, but it is exactly the simple but genius gameplay made the game so classic and so popular with kids and adults alike. Play games on your iPhone isn’t anything new, and play Tetris on your iPhone still can’t be so called news, but this iPhone game called SquareBusta is something different.

 

SquareBusta is a fun and addictive game where you must use the pieces that start appearing in piece pile, and build squares and rectangles with them before the piece pile fills up. Beware that it starts slow but, it will speed up, and before you know it you don’t know what to do with all those pieces.

 

Made a little change, but the core idea is the same, so we can call the SquareBusta a mutated Tetris. Just like the origin one, the game is enjoyable and quite addictive, just with a little more fun. And it is free for the iPhone, so enjoy!

iHurt for iPhoneThe iPhone is really quite awesome, and with all these amazing apps out there for it, it is even more attractive. So today we’re going to introduce you a very interesting game – the iHurt! The Loony Tunes smack’em up game for iPhone is really quite exciting, you should try it!

 

If you’re into goofy action cartoons and watching animated characters getting bashed up, this is the iPhone game for you.

 

iHurt takes inspiration from Loony Tunes and cartoon violence to create a game where the more you hurt yourself, the more you win. The gameplay? “Steer your character down Mt. Spinebreaker while hitting as many objects as possible in your quest to rack up the largest hospital bill in the history of the iHurt Championships!”

 

The main idea of this little game is: You’re falling down a hill, the idea is to bash your character into as many trees, rocks and mulitpliers as possible to maximise the hospital bill at the bottom of the hill.

 

Here’re some great features about this game:
1. The visuals are great, it’s genuinely quite exciting for an iPhone game with the ground rushing below your feet and trees flying past to either side
2. Accelerometer control by tilt is intuitive and easy to do
3. Integration with top scorers from twitter/facebook is a nice

 

And here’re some weaknesses:
1. Screen reaction is a bit slow to taps
2. Limited choice of character and scene
3. You look like a bit of a twat moving your iPhone around like it’s a steering wheel.

 

And it’s also important to note that iHurt is only a virtual simulation, a game, and should not be recreated at home in any way. The actions in the game are just what cartoon characters do for a living, they fall down and go boom. They are professionals in the world of slapstick, and also you wouldn’t like the hospital anyway.

 

It’s not at the level of top games like PocketGod – where the endless variation makes the play really addictive. But this is well visualised and the gameplay flows smoothly. Cartoon link-ins are fun.

 

All in all, this is a really nice game to kill time with, but you should always bare in mind that it is MERELY a game! :)

Reiner Knizia’s Money for the iPhoneWe all somehow love games, we want to play games when we were still young and when we grow older, game is one thing we can’t drop on the way of growing. Card games are very casual and very usual too, we love to occasionally play a little card game. On the other hand, with cellphones today getting more powerful, play games on cellphone is really a good choice, and we’d enjoy that. So a little card game on the iPhone for you: the Teiner Knizia’s Money!

 

In Reiner Knizia’s Money, you have to spend money to make money. It’s a turn-based card game with several different currencies, with the goal of whittling your way down to two or three types of currencies in order to score the most points and win the game.

 

The learning curve is relatively small, and the gameplay is fairly simple. But most importantly, it’s fun.

 

To start, each of the four (or three, if you choose) players start with six random cards. In the center of the board, there are two lots of four cards on which everyone will bid. From your lot of cards, you place your bid. In decreasing order of bids, each of the four players will get their choice of what lot of cards to take. In addition to the two lots in the center of the board, you can also choose to take another player’s bid instead. In either case, you swap your cards with the lot you want to take.

 

This continues until the center deck of cards is empty and the player with the most points is declared the winner. So how does scoring work?

 

It’s actually quite simple, although it took me a couple of games before I got the hang of it. Each of the currencies has nine different cards: 20, 20, 20, 30, 30, 30, 40, 50, and 60. If you have at least 200 of the same currency, you have those points. Anything less than 200 gets you that score, minus 100. So, for example, if you have 150 of one currency, you get 50 points (150 – 100 = 50).

 

There are also triple bonus scores. To earn this, you have to collect three of the same 20’s or three of the same 30’s to earn 100 bonus points. Lastly, there are special 10 point coins that earn you just that: 10 points.

 

As for options, there aren’t many, but what is there is sufficient. You can choose between three or four players, three different difficulty levels, toggle on/off if you want the ability to pass your turn, and more.

 

The game also includes a copy of the rules should you ever need them for reference.

 

The visuals, although minimal, are great for the most part. The biggest thing is that the currencies are easily distinguishable, which is obviously important. The one minor gripe I have is that, when selecting what cards you want to bid, the selection window can be somewhat small and you can fat finger a selection. Fortunately, you have to confirm your bid, so you can easily fix a mistake should you make one.

 

There aren’t any sound effects, which is a bit odd. I was expecting sounds of cards shuffling and whatnot, but there are none to be found. It doesn’t detract from the game at all, however.

 

Another nice touch is that, although the games aren’t incredibly long, your progress is saved when you exit the app.

 

If you’re at all interested in card games, I suggest giving this one a try. It’s easy to play, yet has some depth. When it all boils down, Reiner Knizia’s Money is a fun, enjoyable card game that’s worth a look.

 

Anyway, quite a good game, not perfect of course, but definitely worth a look! Reiner Knizia’s Money is now available in the Apple App Store for $2.99. If you love card games this will be a really good choice. But if you don’t like card games and think they’re just boring, then don’t wait your money or time, just wait for us to post about more interesting games in different types!

iPhone Gaming PlatformGame is one thing we love, and iPhone makes another! Despite the fact we really love to play games on our dear iPhone, there’s really not much real options, I mean, with all these fantastic games on PSP and Nintendo, it’s just not fair for iPhone users! And we’ve heard some change will be made, and the good news is that iPhone gaming is getting big, so it’s interesting to see CNET reenforce just how big it’s getting:

 

“strikingly absent among those 18 (Mobile Gaming) panels are any that deal with game development specifically for the iPhone. And why? Because for the first time, the GDC advisory board decided that Apple’s smartphone is an important enough platform to warrant its own summit. And it filled quickly.”

 

Simon Jeffrey, vice president of social applications for leading iPhone game developer Ngmoco says: “The iPhone is now recognized as a leading platform that’s independent from the mobile. People are specifically naming the iPhone as a threat to their businesses. Nintendo said the iPhone is taking customers away from (its popular) DS handhelds.”

 

So iPhone is no longer just “Mobile”, it’s big enough to be own gaming platform now! The cost of entry is lower than Microsoft or Nintendo, and it’s getting more and more popular while still maintaining its cool factor. While Android and Windows Phone 7 Series will bring the competition (and perhaps Palm as well), right now the iPhone is riding high on its head start.

 

Whatever, I’m just really happy to see the big change of iPhone gaming, and we’ll be much more happier to see more and more fabulous games coming to iPhone, which I believe will not be long!
