Rapid Review: Eat It! - Food Is Falling From The Sky!
Eat it! ($1.99) by Dragon Team Interactive. There's a load of food falling from the skies, and the lions and gorillas can't wait for it to drop to them. One thing though is that Lions only eat meat, and gorillas only like fruits so you need to make sure the right food goes to the right animal. You simply tap on the animal at the bottom of the screen to switch them as meat and fruit continuously fall from the sky.
You begin with one animal, but soon you'll have two, and then three animals to switch to eat three columns of falling food. If you feed the wrong food to the wrong animal they puke, and you lose a life, and you only have three per game. The game is all about the combo you can maintain of eating the right food.
Once you fill the bonus meter you shake the device to let out a plethora of stars streaming down, and you need to tap on the rotten bread to keep the animals eating, and your bonus growing. The game has online high scores for the best score and best combo. There is a very cute art style from your lions and gorillas waving their arms and chomping down food to the chaining backgrounds.
The game is super easy to pick up and play at anytime to make it a game for everyone though the style is geared towards littler ones. The game picks up the pace quickly with the food streaming down in alternating patterns, and three different animals to switch. The game is surprisingly a lot of fun that will keep you coming back for more helpings.
The game does start a little slow which is especially annoying after having a great run, and wanting to jump right back into the hectic action. It would be great to see an alternate mode or at least a fast forward button to get through the beginning stages quicker.
Eat It is a fun little game that doesn't offer the most depth, but is great for pick up and play for all ages.
