Our game guru Trevor Sheridan has once again taken some time out of his busy schedule of reviewing new games in order to update the reviews of a couple of older games that recently received fixes and new content, hopefully making them worthy of a second look.
The updated reviews include:
Flaboo ($.99): A Doodle Jump-like casual game that features a relatively plump chick that you must guide to all new heights. The gameplay differs from others in this genre by forcing you to reach certain checkpoints before time expires in order to move on, and by collecting keys in order to obtain power-ups. It also features a more engaging jumping mechanic where you must tap the screen to flap your wings when you touch a cloud instead of just automatically jumping. Flaboo was also recently updated with OpenFeint connectivity.
Check out our updated review to see if Flaboo can take the place of Doodle Jump on your iPhone or iPod touch.
Plushed ($1.99): A traditional platformer that features hand drawn graphics, an oddly unique story and music, tons of different enemies including boss battles, colorful environments, mini-games, and now OpenFeint connectivity.
Check out our updated review to see if Plushed is the platformer for you.
Update: Because of the overwhelming response from all of you, Blacksmith Games has decided to contribute three more Plushed codes, making it a grand total of four to give away.
To have a chance at winning one of four codes, simply leave a relevant comment below before 11:59 PM PST tonight (February 1st). Our one winners will be randomly chosen. Good luck!
This giveaway is only open to U.S. iTunes account users.
I hope I win!

I love pizza.
I love Plushed(’s)? graphic style.
looks great, hope to win!
I have always regretted missing this game when it was featured for FREE during the Appvent Calendar week… Count me in
Looks like a lot of fun. I’d love a free copy. Thanks appadvice!
I’ve heard so much about this game, I would be great to experience it myself
I have heard so much good things about Plushed but I have actually never purchased or tried it. So this is a great oppurtunity! Thanks AppAdvice and Blacksmith Games! Seems to be a promo code giveaway every day now!
game looks great.
Plushed looks great!
I want pizza!!
I would love to get a copy of Plushed!
Now that Plushed fixed the two biggest issues — saving and one-touch death (which should have NEVER been an issue to begin with!) — I may actually pick it up!
It’s a shame, though, that $1.99 now seems so expensive to me!
Flaboo looks rather fun, although whether it is a good idea to buy another game as addictive as doodlejump…
i cant wait to see the new character from the contest in action!
I wish i win and btw the game looks great!
The art in Plushed looks really nice, I wouldn’t mind checking it out. Flaboo looks awesome though, from the gameplay videos. Much more engaging than Doodle Jump and its billion clones.
BlackSmith Games is quite awesome for hosting all these wonderful events.

Seriously. Now that the Plushed put Openfeint system, the game was 2x more interesting and challenging.
This game looks very very cool, I really wanna try it out!! (Plushed)
I’m definitely in!
Plushed looks like a great visual game. All reviews seem to agree that it’s a good platformer game. Probably needs more word-of-mouth to be more successful. Would love to trial it out for myself to see what I can do about that!
This game looks extremely fun, but I haven’t gotten around to buying it. I like the character design and the way the levels are mapped out, from what I have seen.
i want the plushed app, it looks like a such decent iphone game.
Plushed looks really cool. I followed all the development and I have to say that this is impressive!
Plushed looks cool, Fingers crossed!
I’d recommend getting Doodle Jump over Flaboo if you don’t have it already. As for Plushed, it looks like a great game.
I want plushed so bad!
Awesome. Looks great.
Wow, that new Plushed icon is creepy…
I’ve been enjoying Flaboo for some time now – light and fluffy, and the Sonic-like keys mechanism adds a lot to the old XYZ-Jump formula!
Now that plushed! has been updated, i am very interested. I hope i win.
Looks great, thanks for the chance to win!
I think my daughter would love this.
this looks like such a great game, thanks for the chance to win!
All games look cool! I’d love a free copy. Great giveaway
Wow this is incredible!! I hope I win!! I would really love to have plushed!! XD
I already won a promo for this game but I just wanted to say that I was very pleased about the plushed update. Great review guys!
Plush looks much more interesting than Flaboo

I’ve heard of Plushed before, although always doubted it because it looks awkward and boring. But after reading through most of the reviews on iTunes and TouchArcade.com It finally hit me that I was missing out big time. I’d love a promo code.
Thanks give the chance to get Plushed,Hope I win a copy.
Plushed! Awesome! I’ve been wanting this game forever but have never been able to take the plunge.
I’m diggin’ the new icon art for Plushed! I have yet to buy the game, but would love a code. :3
Hope I win!
Keep them coming appadvice!!
Plushed has a great sense of style – I’m skeptical on the gameplay, but certainly would love to try it!
The artwork in Plushed looks fantastic. I hope the gameplay is equal in quality and uniqueness.
Finally an update. I would love to check it out.
I love platformers but after the original review I was hesitant to buy a copy, feeling that I’d probably just end up frustrated with it. I think I’ve changed my mind, now. Yay!
Plushed looks gorgeous, but I haven’t heard of Flaboo ’til now, which looks pretty amazing.
Nice giveaway, sign me in. Hope I win Plushed which looks fantastic.
I’m loving the whacked-out fairy tale style of Plushed. I’ve been meaning to pick it up, given all the positive buzz, but I’ve been spending too much money on iTunes lately.
I really appreciate the chance to win a promo copy.
