User Rating:As technologies advance, some people like to return to simpler things. This unique phenomenon is now seen in such areas as video games, where graphics are becoming less complex and high-tech. A great example of this is the Parachute Panic app which uses pencil and line drawings to achieve great effects.
The background for the Parachute Panic app is a standard piece of white and blue graph paper, and across it passes hand drawn “stick figure” type images. There are the scribbled blue waves of the “ocean”, the amateur airplanes, the basic UFOs and more. The game is played using the touch screen features of iPod Touch and iPhone devices. It begins with an airplane crossing the screen from which divers descend.
The player taps each jumper to deploy their parachute and then maneuvers them safely to the boats below. It is far from easy to do this and everything from flying blades, UFOs, and killer sharks can cause the user to lose the game. In addition to the whimsical animations, there are unique sound effects, an original soundtrack, and humorous animations for those moments when the player fails to reach the goal.
There are many games for mobile devices, and the Parachute Panic app is bound to become one that is known for its addictiveness and ease of use. As stated, it works only with iPod Touch and iPhone devices, and it offers a buddy list feature to allow friends to challenge one another.
The cost for this app is $.99, and enthusiasts are encouraged to follow the developers on Twitter.
If you want to enjoy a fun and unique game on your mobile device the Parachute Panic app is definitely one to try.
