Scoops is the exactly what you want out of $1 iPhone game. It’s a simple concept, it looks good, and it’s a whole lot of fun. It’s one of those games you can pick up for a minute or play for a half hour and beyond.

The premise of the game is to stack an ice cream cone as high as possible, while simultaneously avoiding vegetable that are vying for a spot on your cone. The cone is controlled by tilting the iPhone, which works perfectly in this game. Screenshots just cannot do this game justice. It’s just a lot of fun to play.

The graphics are very simple and colorful, and matches the tone of the game perfectly. The sound effects are spot on as well, though the lack of in-game music may be a turn off to some. Overall, though, I think Scoops has a great presentation.

There is only one game mode and only local high scores are stored. However, I haven’t got bored with its novelty yet so the replay value isn’t much of a downer.

Overall, Scoops is a fun title that’s easy on the iTunes account.

Read the Developer's Notes:
From the maker of the popular free puzzle game Hanoi, Scoops puts you in control of a towering stack of ice cream scoops! Stack your cone high into the sky by tilting the phone left and right, catching as many scoops as you can while avoiding the vegetables (veggies ARE great apart from ice cream!). The higher you go, the faster they fall, and the more wobbly your tower! Stack similar colors together for extra points. Can you stack your cone to the MOON? Throw on some tunes in iPod, and start stacking!



Features:- Tilt based controls- Color matching bonuses- Local high scores- Pause on touch, and during iPod controls- Starts out easy and relaxing, ends challenging and fast paced
