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.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
