Gameplay

The gameplay involves Jack, the main character who has been shipwrecked, to chase after the beautiful women native to the island. You have to tilt your iPod to chase these women and once you get close enough to them you perform a kiss. The tilt controls are frustrating and a d-pad or joystick would make the gameplay much more fun. The tilt controls are often imprecise and because of that Jack doesn’t always go where you want him to go. The gameplay evolves and takes a twist when a few levels in, when you can start to throw rocks at the apes and the apes want to kiss you. So basically the entire gameplay is while running away from the apes or fighting them, you have to kiss women. There are a bunch of levels and OpenFeint support.


Graphics and Sound

The graphics are cute and funny, they do not support retina display however. The island and the environments are look great. The music is fun to listen to and very creative and it supports iPod music support.

Conclusion

Overall, even though the game is clever and humorous the game could use more content and precise controls. I recommend holding out on buying this app till a better control option is made.
