Quirky App Of The Day: Rockin Grim
by Kathryn Zane
October 27, 2011
There are a lot of apps that are based on interacting with a character on screen. My word, that sounds vague. I mean along the lines of having a character that you poke, speak to and harass in general. With Halloween around the corner, I'm featuring Rockin Grim. With his guitar and amp, you can help the Grim Reaper bring out the death in death metal. Now, I will depart from the death jokes and move on to the app features before I beat the jokes to death. Get it? No? Moving on then.
Grim comes with his guitar and amp. Just stroke the screen, and Grim strums his guitar and head-bangs. You can also push a button in the lower right corner to make Grim show off some power chords. To unlock the other features, you have to, of course, pay for them. Talk to Grim and he talks back in a lower voice. You can also punch him in the face. That seems to be a favorite feature. He roars, his eyes glow and he sets the background on fire. Basically, this is just a fun little Halloween app for kids. It isn't complicated, but it keeps them entertained.
Rockin Grim is an iPhone app available in the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!
