Draw Race (iPhone)
Finished getting gold trophies for all the levels at the weekend. This unlocks them for multiplayer and allows me to play against my own best time, rather than against a preset opponent.
In the grand tradition of Peggle, I should feel like this is where the game really starts, not where it ends. I have, in fact, been back a few times to try and beat myself and move up the online rankings. It’s just that now everything’s unlocked and I’ve got those trophies next to every track I don’t have forward momentum pushing me on and it all feels a bit empty to me. I’d love a few dozen more levels to play, maybe even just all the tracks again in reverse, or something.
I think the problem I have with just playing old tracks and trying to beat my own times is that the game doesn’t have the precision it needs. I can’t draw exactly where I want, nor at exactly the speed I want, so it all feels a bit random. I’m sure the game’s code is precise enough, don’t get me wrong, but my big, fat finger just doesn’t offer the necessary level of control.
Still, I don’t hesitate to recommend it for 59p. It’s interesting, more than anything else, and I’ve got a couple of hours of play out of it so far. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see it pulling me back again and again, despite how I feel right now. We’ll see.
