Quirky App Of The Day: Hungry Boo

A true love of pie.
Hungry Boo is a little blob that curls up and rolls to its dinner. The last time I experienced that sensation was when I had a seven pound baby rolling around in my gut. I was feeling judgmental and uncaring at first. I thought it was mere laziness on his part. Then, I took a closer look at what he had to go through to get his meal. If I had to jump from platform to platform just for one lousy pie, I'd get pretty lazy too. I would probably only make it through three levels before I resigned myself to dying of starvation. That pie had better be the most amazing pie on the face of the planet.
This game uses tilting to direct Boo. The platforms are rather unruly though, so you can't always be certain of where you're going to land. Aside from just the pie, there are eggs that Boo seems to have a craving for as well. It only took two levels before the egg placement started to frazzle me. Rather than blame my ineptitude at these games, I lay all the blame squarely on the shoulders of the pie that constantly distracts me from my goal. I can be pretty bitter about the fact that Boo gets pie and I don't.
Hungry Boo, a universal app, is available on the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!
