I’m beginning to think the ship has sailed with regards to breaking in as the "next big app" on iPhone or iPod Touch. It seems that most of the big sellers are now established name brands. However, one way to break into the top is by simply offering your game for free for a limited time (then make money via an advertisement that shows before going to the main menu). This is what the creators of Bongo Fever have done.
The game itself is pretty simple. You are a cartoon tribal native holding a bongo. Someone throws pieces of food out of a tree house and for some reason the bongo you are holding is the only way to get the food into a cooking cauldron. You have to keep the food bouncing on the drum until it gets to the cauldron. If a food item drops, you lose a life. If a non-food item makes it into the cauldron, you lose a life.
The game is cute and does have good graphics. It’s certainly at the right price point, because I certainly don’t think I’d pay money for this game. It simply didn’t keep my interest very long. It’s somewhat mundane and redundant in terms of game play.
In short, if you want another free game to add to your collection, this one is fine. If you would rather save the space, then pass.
Pros: Good graphics. Free for a limited time.
Cons: Not very interesting as a game.
Read the Developer's Notes:
Welcome to the crazy world of Bongo Fever!You are Ughli, a young member of the Wughli Tribe tasked to cook a meal in honour of the Volcano Gods. The only problem is, the Big Chief of your Tribe has been smoking his peace pipe again, and rather than passing you his meat and two veg, he's throwing whatever he can lay his hands on at you... from bananas, pineapples and steaks to tyres, teddy bears and bowling balls.Without making a meal of the situation, armed only with your trusty bongo youíll just have to get on with sorting the real ingredients from the junk.No one ever said this was going to be easy!As items are thrown from the Big Chief's hut, you have to bounce them on your bongo until they drop into the bubbling cauldron. Food items go in the pot, but everything else is either left to hit the ground, or bounce off into the distance.Get all the food items in the cauldron and you'll be eating well at the Volcano God Festival. Get too many junk items in the pot, and it's you who'll be getting eaten instead!Bongo Fever is a simple, highly addictive, nonsensical bit of retro gaming! ...It's set on a desert island, the main character is caucasian and probably shouldn't be and, for some unknown reason, he's using a bongo drum to bounce food and junk about in the air. But who cares when it's this much fun?!!!- Addictive gameplay - fun for all ages!- Save and view high scores on the online leaderboard- Simple controls- Beautiful cartoon style graphics- Developed exclusively for the iPhone/iPod touchRequirementsCompatible with iPhone and iPod TouchRequires iPhone 2.2 (or later) Software Update
