I’m rather looking forward to checking out some more iPhone/iPod Touch games– it’s a rapidly growing area and plenty of opportunity for MobyGames entry. I’m pleased to say that this game earns a rare spot on my Good list. Further, this game has a nifty jump feature that allows you to overcome low obstacles– just tap the bottom of the unit. This game throws you a few softballs to get acclimated and then ramps up the difficulty (see above screenshot). How is this better than the original game? The original game had approximately one difficulty level, if memory serves, and it was quite challenging. In fact, you can’t discontinue input, and that’s what makes this game so compelling and appropriate for the platform– you use the unit’s accelerometer to control the ball, i.e., tilt the iPhone/iPod Touch in order to maneuver the marble. It’s better than 3D Marble Flip because it actually has some decent physics and the board doesn’t right itself when you discontinue input. This is actually a marked improvement, both over the previously mentioned computerized version as well as the original wooden version. So I finally took the plunge today into Apple’s App Store - only 11 months after it first opened for business (I’m not an early adopter by any stretch of the imagination) - and made this game my first app purchase for my iPod Touch. Now this is more along the lines of what I was looking for. The “Best iPhone Student App” went to a title named Wooden Labyrinth 3D. Today, I was reading about something called The Apple Design Awards. Once upon a time in this blog, I was seriously looking forward to playing a game called 3D Marble Flip one evening because it reminded me of a game I had always wanted to play when I was a kid but never had the opportunity. ![]()
