iPhone App Review: Just Fillin’
February 11th, 2009 by carpexnoctemAt $0.99 it doesn’t get much better than this for portable entertainment: Just Fillin’ is a very simple, and easy to learn game centered around a single action: The touch of your finger.
A simple game created by Playtoniq, Just Fillin’ requires you to fill up bubbles with the touch of your finger which raises the water level to the top of the screen. The larger the bubble, the more points earned, but of course, there’s a catch to the game: Floating spikes that hope to burst your bubbles…Pun intended. The amount of spikes will increase as the rounds progress, and the game will turn from fun, to addicting very quickly!
It isn’t just the gameplay itself that drew me into the game. Colors are bright and vibrant, and the main menu responds to changes in the accelerometer. This game is visually exciting, and paired with the sound effects creates a happy feeling that rivals the fun experienced while playing. Combine all of this with the online score tracking, and two difficulty modes, and you will see why this game is such a great bang for the buck!
I must come clean and admit that I was informed about this app by my mom who is a recent iPhone convert, and I just had to get it after seeing how addicted she was to the game. I highly recommend this game to anyone with an iPhone, or an iPod Touch. You won’t regret it!
