QuickAdvice: Tappi Bear All-In-One Brings You A Lot of Donuts!
Tappi Bear All in 1 ($0.99) by Taplay is a compilation of the mini game series with Tappi Bear.
For most casual gamers with the iPhone, the best thing about playing games is the fact that you can simply pick it up and play - nothing more. No complex storylines, gameplay mechanics, or frustrating levels.
The Tappi Bear minigames are exactly what casual gamers are looking for - pick-up-and-play, fast paced action, and fun gameplay. This game is compiled of the previous four Tappi Bear games: Space Rush, Donut Dance, Donut Ninja, and KungFu Battle. Additionally, there is a fifth game that is included in this all-in-one pack: Tap Tap Jump.
I did quick write-ups on the first couple of games. But if you need a refresher, here's a quick little rundown of the original four games:
1. Space Rush: Control Tappi Bear in space, avoiding all obstacles that are coming toward you while you also collect as many donuts as you can!
2. Donut Dance: The bears have a donut and pass it along to each other as they dance. Your job as Tappi Bear is to memorize who had the donut last!
3. Donut Ninja: Hordes of enemy bears are coming at you! The only way to fend them off is by feeding them precious donuts.
4. KungFu Battle: It's every bear for himself. Tappi Bear has 3 donuts, but there are incoming opponent bears. Fend them off with your nunchuku!
All of these were fun little games that are great for killing a couple of minutes anywhere. The new game, Tappi Jump, is no different.
The objective of Tappi Jump is to get as high as you can by jumping off two vines on the side. But be wary - there are enemy bears hanging around on these vines, and if you touch them even in the slightest, it's game over. But like all the other games, there are donuts! Sweet, sweet donuts. Bonus points are awarded when you collect donuts on your treacherous climb.
All of these games are just fun to play to kill some spare time you have. It's easy to put down when needed, which I'm sure is a good thing. Additionally, there is now Game Center support for achievements. There's plenty of achievements, though they're mainly just for a certain amount of points in each game. There is no multiplayer support yet, maybe in the future.
If you're looking for quick, fast paced games that require nothing more than simple tap gameplay, and you can easily pick them up and play and put down anytime, then you can't really go wrong with Tappi Bear All-In-One. Each game is also sold separately for $1 each, but for the same price you can get all of them in this single app - a real bargain.
Future updates will include a new mini game, so keep your eyes peeled. So what are you waiting for? Get it now-oh, donut!
