iDrop Dead (iPhone)
And talking of games that don’t get enough love, we have iDrop Dead.
Look, it may look like a cartoonish novelty for people who think cuddly animal-based gore is funny and, well, it is in part.
But ignore the graphical trimmings for a second (especially as the blood and bones look like being replaced with woodland fruits and flowers in the next version, due to Apple skittishness, or something) and focus on the game.
It’s fantastic. It’s got a simple interface, but rewards experimentation and imagination. It’s terrifically well-designed and deserves a spot on your iPhone. Trust me.
It’s not the longest game in the world, no, but it’s only 59p and you get a huge amount of entertainment for the price of a can of Coke. It also seems to last longer than I suspected, because I’ve been back to it after finding myself missing it and seem to have been sucked right back in, though now I’m going for high scores and I’m not simply playing to tick boxes.
