Hungribles- 1.99 (Futuremark Games Studio)

Get ready for a new puzzle game that'll have you playing it at any spare moment that you come across in your daily life. Hungribles [$1.99 (UNIVERSAL)] by Futuremark Games Studio is a brand new puzzle game that'll keep your mind thinking while killing you with cuteness at the same exact time. So what are Hungribles exactly? Hungribles are these cute little creatures that love to eat! The objective of this game is to feed the Hungribles to make them nice and cheerful. To feed them you use a mushroom (yes mushroom) slingshot to shoot their food orbs at them. Each level gives you a certain amount of orbs that you can use. Before you shoot you can see a rainbow guideline showing you where your shot will end up. There's 7 different types of
Hungribles throughout the 40 + levels (with more levels to come) to feed. Each one of them has their own individual appetite. This provides a little challenge in feeding them. Some Hungribles such as "Chops" loves to eat. Chops will take in any orb you shoot at him without any problems at all. Meanwhile, "Bonker" requires multiple orbs to be satisfied. What really keeps you hooked on this game for hours is trying to earn 3 stars on the levels. You can easily finish a level by just feeding the Hungribles, but what earns you the most points is feeding the Hungribles AND earning the score bonuses throughout the levels. This can be achieved by bouncing orbs off walls, hitting the little bucket of gold, and curving your shots around other Hungribles. I haven't come across any major problems in the game except a crash after finishing
a level which hasn't happened to me since. All I feel that this game is missing is Game Center support and that's it. Overall Hungribles is a challenging puzzle game with cute visuals and characters that'll have instantly hooked. This is definitely a game that I could see contending with Angry Birds for the #1 spot on the App Store. My final rating is 4.5 out of 5 stars. Hungribles is a universal app for only $1.99 that you can buy here. This game was reviewed on an iPad 2.
