Today's Best App: Dawn Of The Plow
Dawn of the Plow by Dan FitzGerald ($1.99, 11.8 MB): It may not include Homer Simpson, but this retro-style action-arcade game compelling you to become the plow king definitely has plenty of crazy fun going on. As the virtual residents attempt to make their way home, your job is to keep the roadways clear. Fail to do so in a timely manner or collide with a vehicle and you're fired. However, don't get too flustered yet because people do exhibit some patience, plus there's always horn blasting to coerce drivers from your path, which brings us to strategy or, hopefully, something similar. Because the plow is all-reran, you can basically go anywhere, e.g., cut across grass areas, but at a risk. Put simply, you may choose to go full throttle and swerve all over the place in endless crazy eight and donut maneuvers, cautiously move along only the asphalt, respecting other traffic, or a mixture of both. The game features voxel-type graphics, upbeat chip tunes, edge wrapping maps in three increasingly difficult sizes, four unlock able power-ups, dual-thumb swipe and tap controls, as well as Game Center leaderboards and achievements.
