Fast Fingers Equals Fabulous Fun in DOT5URBO
DOT5URBO™ (Free) by ustwo™ is a game for the iPhone that is a great way to wake up your mind when all you are thinking about is an afternoon nap. Looking for an alternative to the “pick-me-up” cup of coffee? DOT5URBO may be a perfect and crazy solution.
The directions are fairly simple. Make a dot jump around the screen, pick up items and avoid all things that are “red and spikey”. That is all.
Or is it? Remember, avoid all things “red and spikey”. They will hurt you. At first it does not seem like a big deal to run into a red spike, but then you notice your dot moving closer and closer to the wall of death. This is the back wall where there are several spikes waiting to puncture your dot and end the game. As you go along collecting items (mostly other circles), the game will speed up and the spikes will come at you even faster. Eventually, it will slow down, but the varying speeds will help keep you engaged.
The music is quite intriguing and fits well with the pace of the game. The graphics are colorful and simple, but they reminded me of an old Atari system on a tube TV. Although you can play DOT5URBO on your iPad, it is better to play it on the iPhone, as the screen navigation is a little easier.
If you prefer to have a version without ads, you can purchase the game in the App Store for 99 cents. I personally did not find the ads too annoying while playing the game.
So, when the yawn comes on, try this game for a few minutes. Let your fingers face a challenge that will rejuvenate your mind!
