Ease on down the road.

I did find a problem with the game yesterday, though. After finishing it, my save file wouldn’t load. Going to the Load Game screen locked up the app. Not a major problem, as I could just start a new game and still have survival mode unlocked, but it’s an odd bug to find in such a polished game.

There are three weapons to choose from, with associated strengths and weakness. The rocket launcher is powerful and has splash damage, but has a slow rate of fire, for example. As you might expect, there are also power-ups to pick up, often just slightly off the main route through the level.

Sometimes it's day, sometimes it's night - just like real life!

The controls are decent, the graphics are nice and it’s certainly not a bad game at all. It isn’t one of the very best iPhone games, but at the sale price of 59p you’re definitely not going to regret buying it. Think of it as Commando without grenades, or something.

Also, though, it gets extra points for using a cigar as your health bar. I like that a lot. Mind you, in the current climate, I’m surprised Apple let that through, the big nannyish idiots.
