This game, from Clickgamer, is of the Worms ilk of puzzle come destruction games that’s über addictive. The dirty, rotten, thieving piggies have knicked the birds eggs and holed up ‘over the way’ in various buildings and constructions. The overtly mad birds must fling themselves from a catapult, kamikaze stylee, onto the pigs to destroy them.

The simplicity and ease of play of the game makes this very easy to pick and start to enjoy and as I said quite addictive. The levels get progressively harder, but not too hard and new bird types are introduced as one progresses. The cartoon style is cutesy and slick, whilst the physics engine makes the game different virtually every play. This is a must purchase at 59p, ridiculously good, addictive fun.

Slap Happy is a must for every iphone owning, Happy Tree Friends fan. The app puts your very own Happy Tree Friend, Cuddles, in your pocket for you to knock about, maim and ultimately kill in a gruesome accident.

The graphics and sick humour are brilliantly realised. Watch your friends faces as, after they’ve said “arrrrhhh cute” upon seeing Cuddles and you slide your finger across the screen and slap him with a big smack sound. Then flip him up to the top of the screen and watch their faces again as he drops with a heavy thud to the floor. Give him a shake and listen to the “oooohh nooooo” from your now disturbed, laughing friends.

I’ll leave the rest of the delights for you to find out for yourself, but needless to say, it gets better.

This paid for app (£1.79) is a very good example of what fun things can be done with the iphone. Basically, take a photo, preferably face-on of someone’s face and pop it into pr-made masks to make and ‘old’ version of the person.

Here’s an example of one of the finished photos.

Here’s a demo…

Newton’s Cradle is another one of those apps that’s pretty useless as far as functionality goes but it’s just great fun. What does it do? It replicates the old 70’s office toy by using real world physics and clash detection to make a very realistic Newton’s Cradle. Cool!!

Ohhhhh and it makes good use of the accelerometer too.

This app doesn’t really do much except roll a number of dice, that’s it, but it does this beautifully. The animation and real world crash detection is simply sublime. Just shake your iphone and watch the dice roll around and come to rest on your score. You can choose how many dice and from a number of different patterns. This is the lite version of a poker dice game by the same company which I guess will be excellent. As I don’t know how to play dice poker I won’t be partaking in this app, I’ll just sit mesmerised, looking at the beautiful rolling dice for an hour or two.
