Suicidal horses – Now that is crazy.
A bunch of ridiculous horses, randomly walking into electrical fences or drowning themselves in a river with you as the player having to guide them back to their stables before nightfall.
At first glance, Crazy Horses seems uncannily similar to Flight Control, where players have to guide their horses to a certain finish point to complete the stage. However, while the basic objective is the same, Crazy Horses does have some tweaks to differentiate itself.
The game controls involve players drawing a lasso over the horses, with no fixed amount required to fit into the lasso. Following which, a path is to be drawn to guide the horses back to their stables and subsequent taps on the screen will speed up their movements. While this seems easy, players who assume they can cheat the system by simply enveloping the entire screen in one gigantic lasso can think again. In the later stages of Crazy Horse, horses appear so quickly that you have to repeatedly draw plenty of small lassos, such that it is way more efficient to group them in small clusters.
To add to the difficulty of the game, Crazy Horses has a countdown timer per stage. This is symbolized by a nightfall meter, where the sky gradually turns darker as the day progresses. This adds a sense of urgency to the game and creates some mild form of panic for players.
For $0.99, I would say that Crazy Horses is a game you might want to give a shot. While neither particularly fantastic nor unique, Crazy Horses does offer some decent gameplay and might cause you to pull a few strands of hair out trying to solve the levels. This one will definitely keep the young ones occupied for a while.
Quick Take
Value:Med
Would I Buy Again:Yes
Learning Curve:Gradual
Who Is It For:The younger ones
What I Like:The game has a gradual pace of play, keeping it simple at the start but yet staying challenging in later stages
What I Don't Like:Game is repetitive as later levels basically involve waves after waves of ponies thrown quickly at you.
Final Statement:My little pony?
children Features fun levels filled with out-of-control ponies who like nothing more than to stray into the paths of twisters and trains, or touch their little pink tongues to electric fences! It takes skillful lassoing and quick thinking to wrangle the Crazy Horses safely back to the corral without being splattered, zapped or skewered!
Crazy Horses has hours of replay value with race-the-clock and endless modes for every level, plus Game Center achivements to collect and leaderboards to climb!
Crazy Horses... join the herd!
The Smartphone App Review 92%
"...as good a game as titles like Angry Birds and Flight Control, maybe even better than them."
