Peggle


PopCap, my favorite iPhone development team also known to create Plants V. Zombies, but have another smashing hit Peggle. Peggle was a massive hit on the PC, and the game seems like it made it's way to the Apples Apps store, yay. If you missed the Peggle revolution this is the rundown: it's like bricks on the original iPods. you control a cannon loaded up with a couple of balls. below a field of pegs and bricks. To complete the stage, you must hit every single orange brick you can see, normally though the orange bricks are in the middle of a bunch of blue insignificant bricks. Blue bricks are worth points but send your ball of to any direction, but sometimes you need to do that in order to set up your next shot. If you have a good eye for geometry and angles along side enjoy physics games you will enjoy this game seeing as trajectory of the ball plays a big part into this game.

Gameplay:
The game is fairly simple, as I stated before the object of the whole game is to smack all the orange bricks before you run out of silver balls. There's more than that though, a bucket slides across the bottom of the screen. If you are lucky enough to land the ball in the bucket you automatically get the ball back and it is reusable. There are also purple pegs worth more than blue pegs, but the real treasure here is the green pegs. These active special powers of the Peggle hero you are currently playing as, such as fireballs, being able to see the long trajectory of the ball, or even multi-ball. Peggle is awesome. When you hit the last orange peg, the game slows down and plays "ode to joy" which then creates buckets at the bottom 2 10k's 2 50k's and 1 100k slot. This moment is awesome because you know you've already completed the mission and can just wait back and watch to see which slot your ball falls into, the outcome has no effect on what happens just your score various (which does nothing except bragging rights). There are two different control schemes in place for Peggle. A wheel on the right side of the screen for precise shots. and a just swipe and get it close shot. Once you are ready to fire you look to the upper right part of the screen and you press the "fire" button. This launches your ball into the playing field bouncing from one side of the area to the other. There are 55 stages in the main story in Peggle, alone side 40 challenge stage that are extremely hard to complete. PopCap also includes a two-player duel mode that lets you face your friends, sadly you can't use 2 devices it has to be on a single phone, tablet. However, it's still a lot of fun to attack the pegs with another player at your side.

Closing Comments: Peggle is an awesome game, not only for the original PC, but for the iPhone and iPad alike. The iPhone game is truly a instant classic and I am for certain you will not get bored with this game, seeing as there are almost 100 stages in the entire game and in addition to multiplayer what's there not to fall in love with. If you have played Peggle before you will not be disappointed with this title on a portable in fact you'll fall in love with the game all over again.
