I know why I’m not playing this as much as I feel I should be. It’s because it’s a much better game with the sound on and I mostly play my iPhone games with the sound either off or on the lowest volume setting. I love the main levels, but my favourite part of the game is generating levels from songs and trying to get through them.

I think that’s Dead Ringer For Love by Meat Loaf, but I’m not sure.

Confession time. I’ve never got through an entire song when I’ve been playing this game. Not one. I think I probably need to choose shorter songs… or get better at the game, I suppose.

Utterly brilliant new Space Invaders game. You start off in the old style, only able to move left and right, but the game soon introduces power ups, free movement, evolved backgrounds… just loads of stuff. It rapidly moves from being just Space Invaders again to being a full-blown, modern, fast-paced shooter with lovely, familiar retro graphic stylings. Based on my first impressions, I like it more than Space Invaders Extreme on the PSP and DS.

And it’s got one more trick up its sleeve, too. As well as the preset levels, you can generate new ones from songs you’ve got on your iPhone.

That’s me playing Achy Breaky Heart. It killed me pretty quickly.

It’s £2.99. It’s a bargain. Go and buy it right now.
