You’ve played it on your Mac and PC, and you know how seriously addictive it can be. It’s Here. Peggle for iPhone. PopCap Games latest touch title brings the experience you all know and love, to iPhone (and iPod touch) - but is it really worth plunking down for? I’ve been putting it through it’s paces.
Developer: Peggle Price: $4.99 Version Reviewed: 1.0
Becoming PopCap’s third title on the store to date, Peggle brings the much loved peg-blasting arcade title to your fingertips. Keeping most of it’s traits from the PC and Mac version, Peggle for iPhone takes the experience up a notch, or two. For anyone who hasn’t played Peggle (Where have you been, in a hole?) I’d like to take a minute to explain just what Peggle is.
What is Peggle? Peggle is based on a seemingly simple, but yet very clever and highly addictive concept. The game starts by presenting you with a playing board of pegs, which light up. Within the board a certain amount of these pegs will be orange, and the aim of the game is to hit these orange pegs so that all of them end up, lit up. In order to achieve this the game grants you a certain amount of balls which you can then control the aim of, and fire at will. By the balls ricocheting off the other non lit pegs, Peggle makes for very interesting and unpredictable gameplay.
Playing Peggle The game can be played using a total of 10 different colourful characters, across four different playing modes. These include: Adventure, Quick Play, Challenge and Duel.
Adventure Mode This mode offers up the classic experience of Peggle, the one you all know and love. Throughout this mode you will gain special powers, for a certain amount of turns, which will ultimately help you complete each level.
Quick Play Pretty self explanatory, this mode throws you straight into Peggle action. You can either play through the 11 stages, each consisting of 5 levels (55 levels over 11 worlds on total) or, you have the option for the game to select a random level for you. Choosing the first method sees you having to play through one level in order to unlock the next, while the second method allows the game to select a random level out of the levels you have already manged to complete.
Challenge Mode This mode does exactly what it implies. Locked by default until you manage to fully complete ‘Adventure mode’, Challenge mode is designed to throw challenges into the mix - 40 to be exact. Designed for advanced players.
Duel Mode The last mode in Peggle, Duel mode lets you compete against a friend or computer. Locked by default, in order to unlock this mode you must complete Stage 1 of ‘Adventure Mode’.
UI and Visuals Peggle is one of those games which has always been known for it’s retro arcade-styled look, and the iPhone version is no different. From it’s quirky loading phrases, to it’s cute, pretty up-lifting graphics, this game is a feel-good game from the outset. Vibrantly coloured, you can just tell PopCap spent a lot of time perfecting Peggle for iPhone visually.
In-game, the UI is fairly straight forward, and has a few features which I wasn’t expecting. Describing the in-game screen, and the top you have your ball shooter. This can be aimed in any direction and emits a faint line of angle which will help you to decide on your next move. When this line comes into contact with a peg, or several pegs, the angle line is distorted to show you which path your ball will ball will fly, once released. So, How do you aim in Peggle for iPhone? You can aim in three different ways. Either by sporadically touching on the screen with one finger, touching and sliding, or on the left-hand side of the screen you’ll find a virtual ‘wheel’. Just slide your finger up and down over this, and your sight will pan from left to right (and visa versa).

Above this you have the fire button. When your ready and happy with your aim direction, just give this a tap to fire that ball. Moving left, inwards from the right-hand side of the screen you’ll next find your fever meter. This basically measures how much ‘Fever’ is left in the game, before you finish a certain level. When the meter reaches 100%, rainbows will fly and fireworks will explode. You’ve reached Extreme Fever dude!
Below this you’ll find an instant-replay button. Also available from the Main Menu, anywhere in the game you can replay your last shot in real-time, and it works (not surprisingly) very well. Handy for bragging rights, right?
On the left side of the screen is your Ball-O-Tron. This keeps a record of the amount of balls you have left, and displays them in a visual ‘Pinball-like’ way. Finally, in the top left corner you’ll find a ‘Fast Forward’ button. Using this button will immediately speed up the rate of play as well as in-game elements. Handy for those not-so-easy animated pegs further into the game. To zoom in on a peg, simply double tap on any area of the screen. The only gripe I had about this was as I and a friend noticed, the quality of the background images are pretty darn low. Noticeable compression.
Bugs I’d like to say this game is perfect, but currently it’s not. While playing, I noticed Peggle has a few slight issues, and for a version 1.0 release to be honest I was pretty much expecting them. However the first might put you off buying the game altogether.
Remember that fun-loving track PopCap lovingly added into Peggle for PC and Mac? You know you one; Booooo-do-do-do! Do. Do. Do. DOOO! - Yeeeaaah, well, it’s not present. Not in this version anyway. It’s meant to be, we’re sure of it. It just … isn’t.
Multiple users have confirmed that version 1.0 of Peggle for iPhone (and iPod touch) only boasts in-game sound effects. Well, they’d be right. Currently the game’s background music doesn’t play and at first, I thought it was the pre-release version of iPhone OS software I was using. I was wrong. After putting word out on twitter last night, it was confirmed: v1.0 has a sound bug.
The second bug found was one pointed out to me by a friend who also happens to have the game. In this version, the ball doesn’t seem to detect hits very well, and we came to the conclusion that the ball used might be a little .. big. The bug occurs when the game zoom focuses in on that very last peg. Even though the shot appeared to be lined up perfectly, the ball didn’t seem to recognise the hit, and in most cases skimmed over the last peg. Unlucky you say? Probably, but it did happen quite a few times in succession. Lets hope these are first on the list at PopCap for Peggle version 1.1.
Overall There’s no doubting Peggle is a cult game, with a cult following. It’s addictive game play, vibrant (albeit compressed) visuals and simple in-game fundamentals make Peggle a title to reckon with. So how did PopCap fair when bringing the title to iPhone? Well I think they’ve managed to pull it off . Ok, so the game does need a few tweaks, what game doesn’t? There’s currently noticeable bugs in this version, as mentioned above, but overall Peggle for iPhone is a respectable counterpart to it’s Mac (and PC) sister.
If you are unsure about plunking for Peggle for iPhone, or just haven’t yet tried Peggle for yourself, I highly suggest you download the FREE trial available for Mac here and PC users here. Currently PopCap have not released a ‘Lite’ version, however I’m guessing this won’t be too far down the road considering the title’s already tremendous popularity.
Perfect Balance: Harmony is a polished physics puzzler and a port from the flash hit. The puzzles aren’t overly difficult, but it’s still a good game.
Developer: ttursas Price: $0.99 Version Reviewed: 1.0
Let me start by saying that Perfect Balance: Harmony is one sadistic game.
“TAKE A DEEP BREATH. (It will help you to relax.)”
Relax? Relax?? Yeah, sure, right. Let me relax while I watch my carefully planned solution tumble down in a cascade of miserable shapes. Let me relax while I watch myself fail again…and again…and again.
That being said, I’m more than happy to submit myself to the whims of this wicked balancing game. Perfect Balance initially looks a lot like Topple—create a balanced block structure that won’t tumble down. But while Topple puts an emphasis on timed games, Perfect Balance is really a physics-based puzzle.
Each stage begins with a handful of blocks suspended over a dotted line. Below the line is the playing field with a platform hanging in the air. (Later levels have multiple platforms; they can be any shape or size, forcing creative solutions.) In order to pass a level, you have to drag the blocks from above the dotted line into the playing field below, creating a “perfect balance” using the platforms; you can also rotate the blocks by tapping. If a block falls, you lose! Once you place all of the blocks on the field, the game waits until they’re in “perfect harmony” (i.e., not moving).
It’s that last bit which is often the sticker. See, Perfect Balance: Harmony uses an incredible physics engine, so you have to account for gravity, friction, momentum…the works. It’s this use of physics which makes Perfect Balance shine in comparison to other games of a similar vein; no other game would ask you to create a makeshift platform by balancing, say, a triangular block on a circular platform and sticking a plank on top of another circular platform so that the two falling items keep each other from tumbling off-screen. You really have to think these puzzles through.
There are eighty original puzzles included in Perfect Balance, and I’m on number 38 myself. While the game is a port of a popular flash game by the same title, the levels are new. Still, if you’ve played the flash version, you’ll be comfortable with some of the strategies you need in order to succeed here.
The game, while ingenious, isn’t completely perfect. You can’t skip a puzzle if you get stuck, which will frustrate some folks. While I understand that this encourages people to keep playing a game, it might have been nice if the developers had taken an approach somewhat similar to Ancient Frog, where finishing a level unlocks several others. (Even having two open levels at a time would be great!) And while I think the difficulty level is just fine, others will be annoyed by it. Another problem is that you can apply similar strategies to many of the levels, making the gameplay eventually predictable. If you’ve played the flash version, you’ll find this one very simple.
But despite those concerns, Perfect Balance is a polished title, and at an initial price of $0.99, there’s no reason for fans of physics puzzles not to grab it. (To give you an idea of the game’s mainstream appeal, the devs at ttursas claim that the flash version has been played by 5 million gamers, and there are even walkthroughs available on YouTube!) You can play the flash version for free or try out the lite version if you want to get a taste for the game’s style.
Apple hits another landmark with the App Store faster than anyone could have predicted.
In just 10 months the iTunes App Store has gone from the doors just opening to 1 billion apps downloaded which happened just minutes ago. Everyone was excited to see that number ding 1 billion. Consumers were hoping to win the grand prize. All 37,000+ developers were glad that their apps continued to sell on the App Store. And those who have taken up the mantle of reporting on the happenings of the iPhone App community were excited to see another landmark reached. Instead of rambling on and on about this landmark, we’ve got a few influential developers, marketers, and analysts who’ve put together their thoughts on Apple hitting the 1 billion mark.
Electronic Arts:
“We congratulate Apple on achieving one billion App Store downloads and we’re proud to have Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition and Tetris among the all-time top selling apps,” said Adam Sussman, VP of Worldwide Publishing for EA Mobile. “We’re excited that Need For Speed Undercover, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, Trivial Pursuit and American Idol will all be available on the App Store in the coming weeks.”
Tapulous:
“Tap Tap Revenge has been downloaded nearly 10 million times so we have a lot of pride in contributing to a significant chunk of this traffic and salute Apple on the 1 billionth download,” said Bart Decrem, CEO, Tapulous.
Appular:
“A billion is incredible. But there’s also so a huge army of iPhones and iPod touches out there as well, over 30 million devices.” said Brian Akaka, CEO of Appular, the marketing firm known for it’s successes with Freeverse. “The reach of the App Store has grown to gargantuan proportions, it reaches more people than Walmart.”
Medialets:
“We feel that this milestone is indicative of a much bigger shift in usage of mobile applications. Whereas the process for downloading apps to mobile phones has typically been a challenge for end consumers to adopt, Apple has streamlined the process beautifully.” said Rana Sobhany, VP of Marketing at Medialets, a mobile analytics and ad technology platform based in New York. “The result is a seamless experience for discovering, distributing, downloading and paying for mobile applications, and we feel that Apple will be hitting 2 billion in the very near future with the release of iPhone OS 3.0.”
This application lists all the Laptops that Apple have made starting from iBook in July 1999 - and going up to the PowerBook G4, 17″ (2005). Why? Well I’m not sure you need this app, but I have to confess to looking & lusting over the laptops!
Developer: Halskov Price: $0.99 Version Reviewed: 1.0
When you launch this app it launches straight in, opening an apple laptop products page. You can search for something specific that you are looking for or just scroll down through the entire list. I scrolled, it isn’t a massive list and I wanted to see the laptops. When you find the laptop you were looking for you click it.
The information you get is:
Image of the product you selected Name Price in $ Year of introduction Supported or not Processor Cores Speed Hard Drive Graphics Memory Camera
Yes, that’s the entire application. But I like it. I want more. I want to have on my iPhone an app that lists every sexy Apple that’s out there or that was at some point in circulation. I wish this app had more, I’m not sure why it only has the laptops listed. Could be that they have released this with a look to release more updates of information in the future.
I appreciate that it may only be me who likes this application as well, but if you are interested in being able to know what the products were and happen to have a really bad memory for these things then this might be an app that you like too.
It uses the same conventions of interface as the other apps and is so easy to navigate that it is quick to show you the information you were looking for.
Overall you will re-use it if you find yourself needing this information. If it isn’t something you need - well then there’s no point. I think, for reference, that I want more from it, but it’s a good beginning, and hey - one of my favorite topics too!
