Plunderland is a Must Have App


Plunderland from JohnnyTwoShoes is going to be huge! You want this game. Take the best parts of Rolando, Angry Birds and Pocket God and put them into one game and you get Plunderland.


The concept if the game is that you are the ghost captain of a pirate ship in which you control by tilting. Attack other ships, islanders and more in this fun adventure.


The physics engine is great. The characters are cute and entertaining. And the gameplay is unique. Pull back to fire, pick up enemies and cannonballs and fling them. See the YouTube video below for a better idea of gameplay.


This game is a must have iPhone game that will soon be getting a lot of attention. I’m predicting it will be in the top ten apps by the end of the weekend.

Earth Vs. Moon – Still Free From Yesterday

Get this game as soon as you can.  They said it would only be free yesterday, yet it’s still free in the App Store.

Earth Vs. Moon is a great Missile Command clone.  The basic gameplay elements are there from the original Missile Command and they expand on those adding Boss Levels and other fun elements.  The whole game has a great sense of humor running through it.  Funny newspaper headlines with articles you can read show up between levels.

It’s a fun game that’s worth playing for $.99 to $1.99.  And for free, you should definitely pick it up.

DizzyPad, My New Time Sucker

Dizzy PadNibleBit (developer of Scoops) has done it again!  Their newest game, DizzyPad is a great casual game that’s easy to play and really hard to put down. The object is to get your frog as far as possible.  The lilly pads spin and you tap to jump.  The only controls are a simple tap, yet the challenge is great as the further you make it, the faster the pads spin and the longer the distances are.  The graphics are superb, the sounds are fitting.  I’m a fan of Dizzypad.

If you like other NimbleBit games, like Scoops, SkyBurger, or Moon Drop, then I say it’s worth the $1.99.  If you’re not a “big” spender on the App Store, this is definitely worth $.99 if it ever drops in price.

Dizzy Pad: [ App Store ] $1.99
