Rich 3d graphics. Sound. Vibrant Colors. These are all things that are not found in Net & Ball. Net & Ball makes 8bit graphics look high tech. But is that a bad thing?
Placing two fingers on your iPhone screen draws a line between them—this is your net. The goal is to see how many times you can bounce a ball on the “net” before it goes off screen (on the left, right, or bottom). It sounds easier than it is, at least for us ‘coordination-challenged’ people.
Using the multi-touch capabilities is very nice; I haven’t seen many apps use this iPhone feature. And really, the game play is as good as many other “popular” apps; in particular I’m thinking Crack the Code, 8 bit Games Flying, and Rope’n’Fly. But like all those games, the replay value isn’t there. And like all those games, the replay value is very low.
Quick Take
Value: None
Would I Buy Again: No
Learning Curve: Very little–it’s clever how they utilized multi-touch.
Who Is It For: People that want to see a demo on how multi-touch can be utilized
What I Like: Using 2 fingers is a novel way to interact with the app
What I Don’t: The game isn’t fun, there is nothing "interesting" about the game play.
Final Statement: This game really isn’t worth it–because everything is so simple, and not interactive, it just isn’t worth the time to download it.
How to play:
Start Game
Touch the screen to start the game.
Net and Ball
If you put two fingers on the screen, a net will be woven between the fingers. Try to knock back the ball by your net.
Game Over
Knocking the ball counts toward your score, so challenge the high score!
