This game tests your reaction skills, requiring fast movements and coordination speeds to beat the game. NewtonApples has players tapping on falling apples descending from the top of the screen to literally pop them before the reach the ground, or more importantly, before they touch Sir Issac Newton himself.
Sounds easy? Not quite.
The sheer amount of apples falling from the ‘sky’ is more than enough to overwhelm players. The game ends when an apple touches Sir Issac Newton. However, should an apple touch the ground instead of a slumbering Newton, the man himself will wake and start pacing up and down for a period of time before going back to sleep. This adds to the difficulty level of the game given that should an apple touch him, the game is over.
I liked how the developers of NewtonApples took pains to make this game educational through the random insertions of physics facts related to the falling apples that appear throughout as if Sir Issac Newton dreamed them up. This not only adds a little interesting twist to the game, but also imparts valuable knowledge to younger players.
With that said, NewtonApples will apply to both young and old players alike. Do not be fooled by its overly simplistic style of play. There is a more than meets the eye.
A free app, I definitely recommend NewtonApples for download.
