Pig Curling
SCORE: 80
Pig Curling takes the sport of curling and
mixes it with pigs. Players launch pigs towards the circle. In every of
the forty levels players must get a certain number of pigs in the
circle. Be careful because you can knock them out with subsequent
tosses. The smartest thing to do after getting enough is scratch the
rest of the throws on purpose. Unless you are willing to take the risk
to get a higher score.
The graphics in Pig Curling are a little small but everything in this
game is easily recognizable. The pigs look good in their different sizes
and attires. The really big ones may move slow but they look good. When
a pig smashes into something else they will change colors in certain
areas of the body. This is like a race car showing damage after a crash.
Pig Curling has a circus feel to the music. Then of course there are the
pig sounds. What else would you expect from a video game that has pig in
the name. Anyone else notice there are a lot of pig apps on the
iPhone/iPod Touch? The WMG did as well. The special effect sounds fit
this app, and enhance it in some fun ways. It is wonderful getting to
complete a level.
This review is being written before this app goes live. This reviewer
has been told this app will retail for ninety-nine cents. Normally forty
levels with ten more coming would be a good deal. However the WMG blew
through over thirty levels in just an hour. The levels are generally a
little too easy. Which may make a comment coming up in the next
paragraph seem strange.
Pig Curling can be extremely frustrating. The problem of hurling the
pigs in the right direction around the obstacles, or bouncing off them
can make one pull their hair out. At times Pig Curling works perfectly.
Other times the pigs go off on a weird angle. When all of them are
needed it means the level has to be reset. The WMG reset levels more
times than there are levels in this game. This is not all the time, and
maybe a user error. But it happens enough to be frustrating. Otherwise
Pig Curling is very forgiving and most of the levels are extremely easy.
Angles and speeds are the two lessons in Pig Curling. Plus knowing the
foundation. Pigs will slide across the ice much better than wood. You
know talking about pigs sliding just seems odd. The various powers that
certain pigs have are a nice addition to Pig Curling. Sequels would be
welcome in the future. It was a pleasure to play and review Pig Curling.
