Short App Reviews And News

FlyFu is free and worth looking at just for the visuals. The doodled backgrounds are great and mixed with what appears to be photorealistic insects works pretty well. The only bummer part is that there isn’t too much more to the game than walking back and forth pressing the attack button.  Since it’s free, if you like these types of ‘walk right and punch and kick a bunch’ type of games, check it out.  You have nothing to lose.

If you’re not into these types of games skip over this one…unless you want to see a very unique art style.  I’m actually liking playing the game just for the backgrounds…but that’s not really a good reason to play a game, is it?

Stick-Fu from Clickgamer.com is a throwback to the old arcade games of the early 90s.  And I mean this is a good way.  If you enjoyed Double Dragon, Bad Dudes or other similar games you’ll enjoy Stick-Fu.  It’s a blast to play.

In this game, enemy stick figures attack you as your travel through the city.  You must punch, kick and dodge your way to combo points to earn a special attack.  And just like the old side scrolling arcade games from the 90s, at the end of the level you must face a boss.  In Stick-Fu, the boss is just a bigger stick figure.

I wish there were more than five environments and there seem to be a few glitches here and there (nothing major or game stopping though) but the game is still really fun.  It’s definitely a button masher as you dodge and punch the enemies and unleash your special attacks, including a shotgun, bo staff, and even spikes from the ground.

I highly recommend downloading the lite version and trying this game out.  If you like fighting side scrollers, you might as well just get the full version.  I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
