Few aspects of game development have been in forefront last decade, namely graphics, audio, advertising. Increases in budgets (and revenue) have brought more of the same at higher quality and quantity. What iPhone and Wii have brought to world of games is ability to be creative again, and again, and again… Wii with its motion sensing technology and iPhone with its touch and sensing technologies have allowed creation of new generation of interesting and fun games. So as result we have one of these interesting games and very fun games: Flood-it.

It is definitely game that I consider to be in fun range of old classics such as Tetris and Pac-Man. The game itself is fairly simple and addictive. The game is played in rectangle that is divided in colored squares (6 different colors). The goal of the game is to color a whole rectangle in a same color. How do you accomplish this? You start with one colored square in top right corner. To increase size of colored area you press the colored balls located on the bottom of the screen. Depending what color of the balls you press the already colored area will change to that color and add all neighboring squares of that color to that area. Sounds a bit confusing? Well, you really have to see it and you will understand that concept of game play is very simple. While it is simple to play it is not so easy.  It requires a whole a lot of thinking especially if board you are playing is complex.  Well, I’ll stop right here…. Go and Play it! And you will see why this particular game made it to “ILike” it list….

Features I like:

• It is addictive
• It is simple to learn
• There are options to play several different levels (Small, medium, large board)

Definitely a game I found to be fun.  A total fun.  First time I played it had that tetris/like feeling: too simple yet too addictive.  I will not argue with people who may not like this game but I do.  It is simple,has nice graphics, and it is something you can give to most people and they will enjoy it.  But before I go any further… Let’s talk about the game itself….

So what is the game about: It is about the two words in the title of the game “Paper toss”.  It is a common place action that we do in our day to day work.  Most popular office real life office/college  game is folding peace of paper (that contained something we did not like) and then using various “complex” techniques try to throw that piece of paper in the waste basket.  I have done it at least a thousand time, what about you?  Well, this app is about paper tossing.  And ILike it.  It is simple to use, yet still challenging.  What you have to do: By moving your finger from the bottom of the screen towards the top direct a paper towards waste basket.  There is (sometimes very annoying) a fan that is blowing the air and trying to disrupt your perfectly timed paper toss.  O well there would be no point to the game if there were no obstacles.  So you have to adjust your trow depending on the fan’s strength (as indicated on the screen).  The sounds are excellent (and funny).  So…. Play it.

Features I like:

• it is simple and addictive
• Graphics are solid (my dictionary “solid” = would not change them, but would not complain about improvements)
• Sounds are great (they are perfect for this game)
