Word Ball
Anagrams, word-searches, crosswords, word wheels – you name the word game and I’ve probably played one or two of them already today.In Word Ball, balls marked with letters bounce and collide across the screen.At first they start off slow, making it easy to touch them and insert them into words.In Classic and Frenzy mode, the game starts with 26 letters and ends when all evaporate – in Frenzy the balls shrink at a faster rate.There is also a Sprint Mode in which 9 random letters appear in each level.Instead of having the whole dictionary at your disposal as with the other two modes, Sprint Mode forces you to focus on the few letters available and is immediately challenging and interesting, and more enjoyably unpredictable as you wind up through the levels with increasing points totals and ball speeds.It’s a unique challenge to try and work out all of the available words as quickly as possible and before all the balls burst each other, and it’s deliciously frustrating when they bounce so quickly that I can’t even press them before they burst.This game is suitable for all generations,especially for kids.For them, it’s a great way to learn new and find old words and expand those cognitive wheels inside their heads.It’s also a great way to teach spelling.For adults, it’s a great way to remember old words and keep those cognitive wheels going inside their heads.In addition, you really need to be quick on the draw, since the more words you make the better will be your score.It’s a simple concept.Just think of balloons that are floating up and around the screen.The balloons, in this case, are balls with an individual letter.As the balls move slowly or more quickly (depending on which option chosen) across the screen, the player needs to tap on the ones that make a word and then enter that word for play.The longer the word found, the more points received.No words can be used twice.In this game, the players do not receive a list of words that they have to find.You have to draw upon the words in your head and find the letters that spell those words.Sometimes, you may start with a word in mind and then find it is necessary to spell a different word when the letter needed is not seen on the screen.This is not a game that should be played when you or your children are tired, frustrated or angry.It only leads to more of the same. Nor, is it a game for younger children, unless the parents play along and ask questions along the way, “What goes, Meow? That’s right, ‘Cat.’ How do you spell cat? Let’s find the letters ‘C,’ ‘A’ and ‘T’.As you go from one level to another, the letters move faster, shrink in size and disappear when not used.Of course, this makes it all the harder to form the words in your head.With fewer and fewer letters available, it becomes quite difficult to think of any new words.Players can compete against themselves and try to continually improve their own skills or choose Game Center integration that allows comparing scores with the rest of the world’s players and to win trophies.However, beware.There are players, younger and older, who know how to spell longer and winning words such as exaggeration and onomatopoeia!After each game, players see a display of statistics, which includes a comprehensive list of every single word they made.

Rubber Knife Throw ipod app is easy to pick up and put down, easy to learn, and mildly entertaining for those casual, quiet moments in life when you’re in between duties and looking around for something to do.Despite the words like “knife” and “throw” representing anything but quietude and relaxation,you’d be surprised at how much still concentration you achieve when playing this game.Rubber Knife Throw is surprisingly fun game, with surprisingly good graphics.The graphics are fairly top notch, with smooth animations – even the Help screen is impressive, with info pages floating around in a black abyss for you to fiddle around with and bring closer to read.You have the option to select either a “chick” or “dude” to be your assistant affixed to the revolving wheel, and you may choose a difficulty of easy, normal or nightmare.Your dude assistant, you should choose is a male, clad in skintight leather pants and an accompanying skintight white muscle shirt, his arms akimbo, legs spread eagle, and his eyes staring at you in cool concentration, his lips parted almost in a smile.The chick, or female, is your typical bombshell – blonde, tan, taut and firm, with skintight, breast enhancing bustier and exposed midriff.She wears black leggings beneath a fluttering miniskirt, and dons these gladiator wedges with zigzagging, yellow laces that look as if they’d be a real pain to put on.The wheel upon which your assistant is affixed is wooden, with some painted details, and plenty of yellow, red, and blue balloons that pop up magically, along with the odd bomb, and ticking clock, which you must disarm and hit for more time, respectively.The wheel changes direction sporadically, and new balloons pop up faster, and in more numbers, each time you clear the board; bombs become more spread out, and eventually become parabombs, a trickier version of the first bombs.Should you ever throw a knife mistakenly on your assistant, or should a bomb explode without your disarming it, a point is taken away for your indiscretion.Throwing the knife, itself, is really easy to learn – simple hold down your thumb on the lower right corner of the screen to zoom in, a bullseye appearing to aim with, and then tap with your other thumb on the lower left once your aim is on target.There’s no denying the slight sadism to the game, with its darkly saturated colors, sexualized characters, and brooding music.You will almost feel that if you were given a chance to look around the room, away from the room, you would see people laying on needle beds, others stepping upon then, and more leather clad people with whips.This game is the dark side of the circus,so if you love darkness and mystery try it,you won’t regret.
