XVision Releases A New Game That Involves An iPhone And One Long Blow
September 4, 2011
If you blow on your iPhone, does it make a sound? If it didn't before, it can now. Trying to guess what I'm talking about? I can tell you the sound isn't from a new virtual instrument app. Actually, it's a new game from XVision. Simply titled One Long Blow, that's all it takes to play the game.
Unlike flute and other virtual wind instrument apps, One Long Blow has little to no learning curve. In fact, if you can blow out candles, you can succeed at this app. Launch One Long Blow, take a deep breath, then blow as hard and long as possible into your iPhone's microphone. Tap on the play button on the results screen to try again. For those unaware, the mic is located to the left of the dock connector on the iPhone 4 and to the right of the dock connector on the iPhone 3GS.
So, what's the goal of this game? One Long Blow measures how long your blow is, and that's your score. Compete against others to have the longest blow possible through the Game Center leaderboards. There's a single blow leaderboard and a cumulative daily blow leaderboard.
As an added bonus, you can choose the sound your iPhone makes when you blow on it. The two included sounds are a baby's cry and a chicken while burp, cartoon, growl, machine gun, panting, rocket, snore, spaceship, toilet, and storm can be added at $.99 each.
Despite it being a fun time, I feel this app deserves a tiny disclaimer. You know the drill. XVision, AppAdvice, and any other related parties are not responsible for any injuries or any other damages that may occur due to the use of One Long Blow. Use the app responsibly and don't exceed your limits. If you experience shortness of breathe and/or dizziness, discontinue use of the app, then breathe calmly and normally. Seek proper medical attention if symptoms become serious.
One Long Blow is compatible with iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1 or later, and available in the App Store at the introductory price of free.
