Today's Best App: White-Out
White-Out by Chris Underwood (Free, 25.4 MB): This unique soccer-style tabletop competition provides a simple, quick, and yet sufficiently challenging source of entertainment for family and friends of nearly any age. Appearing so easy at first, the physics-based gameplay just requires flicking a small paintball across a slowly rotating circular field to strike a glass-like panel goal. However, depending on the selected difficulty level, the arena's surface could warp significantly, creating very tough to navigate mounds and craters, which are constantly and sometimes rapidly changing. In addition, because the match occurs in realtime, there's the possibility even a well planned and executed shot could be thwarted by a collision with an opponent's ball. The game features beautifully minimalistic 2-D and 3-D graphics, fast-paced electronic soundtrack, 90-second contests, three difficulty level choices, single finger control, as well as up to four player support via full, split, or quadrant-separated screen layouts.
