Game Review: Pizza Vs. Skeletons

    Hey, everyone. I got a free game yesterday that you might like to try. As you might suspect from the title, the game is titled Pizza vs. Skeletons. This is not really my kind of game but I like it pretty well. It is certainly innovative. It has 100 levels for $2.99, which is reasonable. The levels seem to change in context quite a bit which is refreshing. What I mean is, at first your giant pizza is trying to roll over skeletons and crush them. Then they have spears. If you get stuck with a spear, your pizza bleeds sauce. No, in answer to your question, I am not joking. This is really an app store game. The way to defeat the spear-wielding skeletons is to roll over them from behind. You can also jump in the air by tapping on the screen. In this manner you can land on their heads, avoid the spears and crush their moldy bones. Unless, of course, their spears are pointing in the air. Then you just roll over them.
    The pizza is a 'tilt to roll' pizza. I've never tried this option at Pizza Hut but it looks delicious. Believe it or not, you can add things to your pizza as you go along. Sausage and extra cheese, things like that. Thank the Lord, you don't have to do an in-app purchase for these. In fact, the seller claims that there will never be any of that foolishness. All updates will also be free.
    I am still trying the free version. You should try that before you buy. Right now I am on a level where my pizza has encountered porcupines. What you have to do is jump in the air. While in the air, you tap the screen which gives you a ground smash. The smash causes the porcupines to flip over. When they are exposed like this you can roll your pizza over them with impunity.
    The graphics of the game are excellent. The drawings are delightful. I believe that just about everyone would have bought this game at 99 cents. For $1.99, they would have sold a ton of them. For $2.99 it may be a bit pricey. Let me explain myself. As a writer, a new, unproven writer, I had to price my books low to get 'known'. Is it worth more than 99 cents to spend months writing, editing, typing, reviewing, publishing, a 50,000 word novel like KGB Retirement Program? Of course, but I had to opt for volume, rather than making more off each sale. This game is certainly worth its price of $2.99. It is a good game and I wish them well. When I finish the free version, I will most likely buy it myself. I am hoping for some shooting or explosions as I get deeper into it, though.Ha, ha. Old shooters like me never die, they just run out of ammo.
    Oh, yeah. From the puzzler's point of view, Carley says that she likes it really well except for the tilt-to-roll function. She doesn't like to tilt the screen in games. I use this enough in racing games and some shooter games that I don't mind it too much.
     I find this game to be about a 4 star out of 5 and I like it considerably more than Angry Birds. I like the fact that even a bad player like myself can beat a few levels and move on to discover the merits of the game. When you are stuck in all these games, how can you fall in love with them?
    With the full version of this game you can make combo pizzas, use your pizza to demolish buildings and fight ten bosses. At one point your pizza turns into a slice of pizza that looks like a barracuda with pepperoni and you devour blow fish. Very cool.
    From the pepperoni's green retreat, I'm CE Wills.
P.S. Hey, cool, I just bought a pirate hat and eye patch for my pizza with game cash I earned. As I mentioned, there are no in-apps. Bye.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...
