One game, which I bought for 99 cents is called Max Adventure. I bet you guys expected that from the title of the post. Ha, ha. This game is fun, cute and would be an admirable addition for your young person. I was on the app store and I saw where a youngster had replied to some of the game's detractors and had written that "I'm a girl and I like it!" She had added a lot of emoticons. It was very cute. But I digress.
In this game, which has a free version, you play as Max, typical earth kid. Aliens have landed in your neighborhood and taken all the adults away. You are tasked with going around the neighborhood, rescuing the kids and taking them to your tree-house. Sound easy? Well, it has its challenges.
For one thing, the aliens have littered the area with their pods. They are unsightly as decorations. Worse, they continually eject aliens until Max finds a dropped ray gun and blasts the pods to smithereens. He must shoot the aliens, as well, but why shoot the aliens when you can destroy the pod and eliminate the source? Then you can clean up the aliens that are left. Speaking of clean up, these dudes have purple blood, so the game is cute, rather than gory.
There is a variety of aliens. Tall ones with looooong skinny legs. They shoot at you. There is another one that looks like a blob. He splits into two smaller bad guys. The good news is that there are power-ups lying around which you can pick up. There are health packs, which heal your bod, packs that make you strong enough to steamroll over a big, fast moving alien which can outrun Max, and my personal favorite, things to enhance your weapon. These can give you a wider field of fire, dual shots and other cool stuff. There is one power-up that will help you run faster. Probably not as fast as The Flash, though. You'll need to go buy Justice league to experience that. Ha, ha.
Even though I am an old geezer and prone to play shooter games which involve zombies, I like this game. I think you'll find it entertaining, no matter your age. I wish that the radar was a bit bigger. I didn't even see it at first. But when all is said and done, this is a good game for 99 cents. In my opinion, the developers should stick with that price. They say that the normal price will be $2.99. That might be a bit high.
I also bought Infinity Project 2 for 99 cents. It is a shooter game, with a large file. It weighs in at a whopping half a Gig. I haven't tried it yet, but I thought that a game that size, for that price, had to be worth a try. I'll give you a shout after I play it. I also bought a new puzzler called Chicken Raid. I actually bought it for my wife because it looks like the game play resembles one of her favorite games called Cover Orange. She has played that game all the way through, which amounts to hundreds of levels. Chicken Raid was 99 cents, as well.
If you don't have Dead Trigger yet, it is now free, so grab it. Have a nice day.
