User Rating:Do you love tender face robots with acid mood? Are you a film data collector? Do you like to play with your friends at “be the first to name the movie”? Then, you will love this free app.
The game begins with a comic style presentation about who is Freakdroid and what is his origin. Freakdroid is a know-all and prickly robot with a great intelligence (or at least that is what he thinks) condemned to live for all the eternity with simple and flat minded humans. Now, his only compensation is to bully you and try to demonstrate that he knows more about films than you.
Would you accept the challenge?
Don’t worry if you feel a bit lost in the begining and don’t know where to go: a little hand will appear on your screen and will point where you have to tap to follow. It’s like a clean tutorial, always there when needed.
When you enter to the theather, this cinephile robot will show you himself characterized as some popular film protagonist. Freakdroid will offer you three possibilities, so you only need to click as fast as you can the best option…. Surely it will never be good enough for this bumptious amount of metal.
This quiz game is pretty quick and easy to solve. The movies that you need to solve are presented in batches of about 10 or less characters / movies. It always ends with the presentation of “Freakdroid – The Movie”, that you can watch on Youtube.
When you finish, you can go back and enter again to the theater to solve more questions to this movie quiz, or you can stay outside and annoy Freakdroid. Is pretty easy to make him angry: knock him down, make him slip with play with wet paint spilled on the floor and be always prepared to share his sharp and funny sentences on you social networks.
Freakdroid is a simple app with a major asset on social networking. In fact, the main attraction of this app is the movie quiz, but to play with it you must allow to connect with your Facebook account. If you are not fan of social networks or don’t like this kind of game-network interactions, Freakdroid will not be challenging for you… but then you can take your revenge on Freakdroid bugging him and driving him up the wall!
You can install Freakdroid on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
