Quirky App Of The Day: Stair Dismount Universal
by Kathryn Zane
June 11, 2011
If falling down stairs were an art form, I'd be Grand Master. Even with years of gymnastics under my belt and martial arts training, I'm still as klutzy as I ever was as a teenager. Katy fell down the stairs?Again? Poor stairs. What did they ever do to deserve it?
It shouldn't come as a surprise that an app based around internal damage and falling at ridiculous angles delighted me to no end. I was not disappointed. Stairway Dismount Universal is all about the damage. I took Mr. Dismount as he's called, and I pushed him through airport security and off a high dive. Two places that I'm sure that many people are tempted to shove their way through.
I loved it. I couldn't get enough of watching the poor sap fall from great heights and mangle every part of his blocky little body once he hit ground. I got bonus points for having him turn end over end in the air, and each major body part smashed to bits was an extra set of points added to my end score.
Stair Dismount Universal isn't bloody or gory. There aren't even sound effects to accompany the image of a crumpling body. He's all blocky, so it doesn't resemble a human being. The only thing to make him more human is the ability to add a face. Some might find pushing him down stairs more gratifying if he resembled their boss.
Feel free to take the plunge since Stair Dismount Universal is at the iTunes store for the awesome price of FREE!
