It’s About Time – Volume 2 [iPhone, iPad]

Filip — Thu, 27 May 2010 10:43:24 +0000

Once again we are back with the collection of most wonderful and creative clocks now available in the AppStore. They are simple to understand, not too hard to program and fun to play with. Most probably more “useful” once iPhone OS4 is out (background process), nevetheless always beautiful to play with. My favorite, this time around, would be Analog Digital Clock and Alice Clock. Which one is your favorite?

Apple and Monster [iPhone, Games]

Filip — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:57:05 +0000

Now, if you follow CAN you know we are very fond of Poppy‘s games. I am not sure there was one game we haven’t written about (maybe) but we won’t make an exception now. Apple and Monster is the latest game in the series of apps Poppy has been creating. The latest creationÂ includes a simple task; to keep the girl as high as possible.Â The girl bounces on the line that you draw by a simple swipe.Â If the girl falls out of screen, you loose. Of course, once again game adopts already familiar TomTom (Poppy F) signature styleÂ retro pixel art already seen inÂ Brave Man (my fav),Â Sweep Man, Giant Metal Robot and Hotdog Panic.

As with the Brave Man, online ranking system is included where you can compare your score to others’.Â A wonderful new addition, as were all the previous games.

Platform: iPhone
Version: 1.0
Cost: $0.99
