Hey, everyone. I downloaded a new game from the app store and thought I'd tell you about it. It's called Cover Orange and it has a free version that gives you a chance to try before you buy, as well as a paid version that is quite reasonable. I-Pad (HD) version is $1.99 and the I-Phone version is a juicy $.99. I got the free version, tried it, then bought the $.99 version.
Let me say, first of all, that this is a game for the puzzle people, not the shooter people. If you liked Angry Birds, you'll probably like this. That would include about 61 million people, I suppose. It has adorably cute oranges that need to be covered to prevent their being sprinkled with acid rain. To cover them you have to solve physics problems such as dropping a barrel over them or making them roll underneath cover. If you save them they applaud and say thanks. When they see the cloud approaching they pray and a little halo appears over their head. If the evil acid rain cloud dumps on them they shrivel and die, turning black like real oranges. They're so darn cute I feel guilty if I let the little boogers down. The acid rain cloud has this evil laugh which makes me want to change his PH. (A little chemistry joke. Sorry)
I think this would be a fun game for children. Of course you might have to explain about acid rain. That might result in a kid that was more environmentally aware, which is good. Anyway, if you get angry at your Birds, try this one. I'd call it 4 stars out of 5 and my wife, who is a puzzle person, agrees. There are a bunch of levels, over a hundred, I think. Adios!
PS: Speaking of Angry Birds, I got an update from them today which was for some new levels, I guess, but had some stuff on it wanting to sell me the ability to skip difficult levels. The Mighty Eagle, it's called. You had to tap a couple of things to get over and play the game. There is an old saying about people who can't stand prosperity. When things go great, they just have to mess it up. Millions of downloads and Birds is trying to alienate their clientele. Reminds me of an Elvis story. Somebody told Elvis that overzealous fans had damaged his car or yard or whatever. His reply? "They paid for it." He never forgot where he came from or who made him a wealthy man.
