Puffle Launch
SCORE: 92
There are games that we hear about here at
Family Friendly Gaming that do not impress us. When I heard about Puffle
Launch I was not impressed. In fact I almost yawned when I heard of
another Club Penguin game. I also thought the platform of the
iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad would not be able to handle any Club Penguin game
worth its salt. Then I realized that Puffle Launch was like a subset of
the franchise. Or a spin-off. All of these made me think Puffle Launch
would be an average to below average game.
I was wrong. I am man enough to admit it. I am secure enough in who God
made me to acknowledge my mistakes. I started playing Puffle Launch with
preconceived ideas that were off base. Puffle Launch is one of the most
entertaining apps I have played in a long time. Launching puffles
through different cannons, and collecting coins in awesome.
The visuals in Puffle Launch are crisp, clean, clear, and full of
vibrant colors. Puffle Launch is safe for all ages of the family. The
little movie scenes in Puffle Launch are cool and add to the depth of
the polish and shine. Some of the graphics can be small but nothing was
really that bad in my opinion. The speed of the animation hits levels
close to Sonic the Hedgehog.
The music in Puffle Launch ROCKS! I honestly can not believe I am saying
it, but it is true. The music in Puffle Launch is fantastic. I got
excited about playing this game. Which for me (and the thousands of
games I have played) does not happen all the time. I like music in a lot
of games, but the music in Puffle Launch really stands out. The special
effect sounds fit the theme and bring something to the table. I enjoyed
collecting the rings (or coins) in this app.
There are twenty-four levels in Puffle Launch. You can also challenge
the Crab boss, and then play the levels in three different modes. This
app only costs ninety-nine cents. The quality of Puffle Launch is what
stands out. I feel that Puffle Launch is worth the price.
I have not played a game like this in some
time. I have played levels of games that use this concept, but Puffle
Launch expands it in ways I could never have imagined.
The controls in Puffle Launch are simple. Tap the screen when you want
to be shot out of a cannon. Not a problem. Well until you have to move
left and right while playing. Again the controls are kept simple. Touch
left to go left, and right to go err right. That is not the best part of
Puffle Launch though. The level design is amazingly intelligent. I had
to think about how to make it through certain areas. Puffle Launch comes
close to being a puzzle game in this regard.
Timing is the most important lesson in Puffle Launch. I had to learn to
time when I released. I also learned how to move myself in the air to
make it to my next destination. I found no violence in Puffle Launch
whatsoever. If you fall, you splash into the water and the game restarts
you at your next continue. I really appreciate Disney Mobile publishing
Puffle Launch. This is a great app for families looking for some fun.
Disney connected Puffle Launch to their Club Penguins online game. The
coins collected in Puffle Launch can be transferred to the bigger game.
This is a nice little feature for families that have an account there,
and this app. I would love to see sequels to Puffle Launch in the
future. This would be a great port to the Nintendo 3DS and/or
Playstation Vita.
