Alright folks, there is a new game up in the app store and I'm suggesting you all get it. It's not available on the Itunes mobile store so you'll have to keep checking for it. If you are on a comp here's the link
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=288658144&mt=8
Expando is currently free for the first 10,000 people so get it while you can.
The game is basically Filler (http://www.kongregate.com/games/SimianLogic/filler) which some iphone improvements.
The screen starts out empty with some techno music in the background. a small red ball bounces around the screen, increasing in number as you clear levels.
Tap the screen to create a tiny smiley face that falls to the bottom. Tapping and holding creates the same smiley face but will start to expand until you raise your finger.
The red balls pop your smiley faces while they are expanding so be careful.
The goal of every level is to create enough smiley faces, and expand them enough to occupy 2/3's of the screen.
The iphone specific changes are all accelerometer based. Tilting the phone slightly effects the way the smiley falls, and those already created roll around.
The only issues I have with it is that the smiley is that while expanding a smiley my finger blocks off part of the screen. That is something in all touch screen games so I can't call that a con. However, there is NO auto save in this version. You leave the game on level 12 and you start back at level one! =/ I'm sure the update will come later but it gives me that same sting that I get while playing mote-m. I have to really evaluate how well i'm doing/ how important this call or text is.
You all know I don't like rating things with numbers, stars, thumbs up, etc. I'll tell you the good things, the bad things, and if I liked it. The rest is up to you.
But again, I do recommend everyone picks this up. It's free, polished, and quite fun.
