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.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
