Storm in a Teacup
SCORE: 83
Storm in a Teacup is a really interesting
game on the iPhone/iPod Touch. This little guy moves around inside a
teacup. Once I get past that little oddity I found this game to be a fun
little game. The controls are interesting as well. But I will get into
that in a bit. The teacup can fly in some fun ways. The world is
fascinating enough and generally non-violent.
Did I just mention the non-violent nature of Storm in a Teacup? Yes I
did. The player moves through the levels avoiding dangers. If you run
into one of them then your character quickly explodes. You get reset
back at the last continuation point. The art work in Storm in a Teacup
is approachable by all ages of the family. The main character is on the
small side, but cool.
There are forty levels in Storm in a Teacup. Some of them are shorter,
and others will take multiple attempts. Mostly this has to do with
learning the nuances of the controls. Family Friendly Gaming was
provided a download code for this review. Storm in a Teacup costs
ninety-nine cents. In my opinion that is a very good price for all those
levels. Storm in a Teacup includes various collectible items.
There are three buttons in Storm in a Teacup. Move to the left, move to
the right, and the jump button. Well it is more than a jump button.
Players can fly for a short time. There is a gauge that lowers as this
button is used. Now it can refill very quickly. Which is cool, because
it can extend the length of a jump. At times that is needed. I had fun
playing Storm in a Teacup.
The main lesson I learned from Storm in a Teacup is to avoid obstacles.
I also learned how to keep myself airborne as long as possible. A longer
gauge could have helped me stay airborne even longer. Storm in a Teacup
is a game that is a little different from others on the iPhone/iPod
Touch. It is almost at the level of a console game. In fact I could see
Storm in a Teacup on the Nintendo DS. Sequels to Storm in a Teacup would
