Would prefer an option of having left/right/jump buttons , never keen on tilt controls on platform games and the pinch/slide to get him to jump could be frustrating perhaps ?

They work very well (when you remember to use them, dumb me). The jump is also well implemented - it's like a fling yourself in any direction though, not really a "jump" to me. But that too works great. I wish you could change your little Blobster's movement mid-air when he really goes a-flying but otherwise I think the touch controls are spot on. I would definitely recommend this - having a ton of fun with it so far. nikhsterboi Well-Known Member Jan 6, 2010 1,549 0 0 In an Apple store near you #12 nikhsterboi, Jul 14, 2011 Artwork is my main aspect of inspection before purchasing followed by gameplay and genre. Don't you just hate when the icon looks just awesome and then the screens are disappointing? That's the case here so unless this game receives notable mentions from every game review website, then I'm just going to pass. eugekava Well-Known Member Jul 8, 2009 2,707 0 36 Melbourne, Australia #13 eugekava, Jul 15, 2011 I am also a fan of aesthetics and I can say that the game is simply stunning. It looks great, plays great. Blob's animation is very fluid and gameplay is quite enjoyable. I would compare animation of the main character to Liqua Pop droplets and goo balls from World of Goo. Its that good. You can also have different skins for your main blob that you unlock by gifting them to your crystal or Facebook friends. Its a weird unlock mechanism, but its free for you and a bit of advertising for the devs. I unlocked camo blob so far. One thing I would like to clarify: if I unlock all the skins and then delete the app, do I get them back once I reinstall the game, or do I have to gift them again? Anyway, highly recommended. gwet17 Well-Known Member Jan 11, 2011 1,636 0 0 #14 gwet17, Jul 15, 2011 Based on these impressions and Touchgen's glowing previews, downloading now.

I will get an answer you your question ASAP. levi masvil Well-Known Member Apr 24, 2011 420 0 0 #19 masvil, Jul 16, 2011 Game Impressions Excellent gameplay, the effectiveness of controls is impressive. The main character is hilarious, and very well designed levels. In my opinion the best Super Mario-style platform (+ Sonic elements). Deserves more attention. 4 stars. How do you get the time-bonus? Bug: sometimes you can jump even if you are in the air (not sittin on a platform). EfratBarTal Well-Known Member Mar 5, 2011 2,351 17 38 Female CEO Tel-Aviv #20 EfratBarTal, Jul 16, 2011 looks a little bare-boned, judging by the screen shots. i love most chillingo games but i think i'll pass on this particular one.

the left/right tap control is 'left side of the screen to move left/right side of the screen to move right/pull down on the character to make him jump' controls... just so no one is confused, or misunderstood... =o/
