iFloat Review

      Doodie Cycle makes their debut on the  iTunes appstore with the app iFloat. iFloat is a simple game but requires skill and determination to get highscores. The game is based on a high powered fan which you control by tilting your iPhone or iPod Touch. Hold your device straight up for 0% power and flat for 100% power. Most of the time you will be holding your device somewhere in between those two positions. The object of the game is to keep afloat a ball and stay in the  green zone. The green zone will give you the most points and it is the place you want to keep the ball in. If you can keep the ball there your bonus multiplier will increase and your ball will go on fire and crack the screen! The next zone is the yellow zone that is just above and below the green zone. If the ball reaches this zone you will start to lose points but the game will still continue. The next zone is the red zone which surrounds the yellow. If your ball stays in the red zone for just a few seconds the game is over.

     You might be thinking to yourself this sounds easy too easy. You thought wrong! The zones will change direction either up or down causing you to make sudden movements to adjust the speed of the fan. Keep in mind that physics is in play in this game, you have factors of gravity. The fan gives more force to the ball when it is nearest to it and when its further away it needs just a tad bit more power to move the ball. You may decrease power to move the ball downwards but then you quickly need to give it a burst of more power to keep it from going too far and into the red zone. This game all takes place in a two minute time frame. Your main goal is to survive those two minutes and gain as many points as possible. It is quite a challenge! A warning to all, the game may be really frustrating at first but once you get the hang of the controls in a couple of games you will be addicted. You can also change the difficulty in the settings which allows for harder gameplay. In easy mode arrows will appear in the yellow zone to let you know which direction the grid is shifting as well as graphics to let you know how much power you are giving to the fan but in hard mode that all disappears. The overall graphics in the game are simple yet very nicely done and perfectly fit the style of the game. Doodie Cycle has many plans for iFloat including adding global highscores, Facebook connect, detailed game stats, and trophies. I highly recommend this game to everyone. The accelerometer controls are spot on and this game is truly such an innovation. You will be playing this game over and over and over again, it is just that addicting.
