Quirky App Of The Day: Amazing Jump Jump Game
by Kathryn Zane
October 10, 2011
Today is not a great review day. I'm really not able to hide my frustration about it. I've tested three faulty apps today, and it ate up a lot of my time. So, this review is the one that made me the least angry. It's called Amazing Jump Jump Game. There are three frogs on either side of a pond that are green or brown. I'm not sure exactly what the point of the game is, but you move them.
They hop from stone to stone, and they can only hop over one frog's back at a time. They won't budge if there isn't an available space after the jump. They also won't move backwards. Here is what I don't like about it. I don't know if the object of the game is to move them all to one side, or to have them alternating since their lips match up like they're kissing. There aren't any instructions in the App Store either. The description is, "A Funny Game." I could get more information about this app by randomly selecting an app from the App Store and applying their rules to this game. Actually, that sounds rather fun, but onto the issue at hand. I've been at this job for about eight months now. If I see it once, I see it over and over again: There needs to be an adequate set of instructions for your game. I can list a few other games that have had the same problem. They could be really fun, but you're not quite sure what the goals of the game are. This would be one of those games.
Amazing Jump Jump Game is a universal app that is available in the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!
