I came across an amusing little game for iOS the other day, and though it's
utterly simple I can't seem to put it down. I'm getting a blister on my index
finger from playing so hard. No, I'm serious!
The game is called Catagugl, and when I got it it was free. Not sure if it
still is or not. Anyway, once you start it, turn off VO, click in the lower
right corner of the screen with home button to the right, and you'll hear a
little drum-like sound. Then touch and hold, just for a split second, until you
hear another sound. Then, wind up the gugl by making fast circular motions. The
bigger the circles and faster you make them, the quicker he gets wound up.
There is a countdown. If you toss the gugl right at the word go, you get a
fart. Every time you pass through a cloud, you get a fart. To actually fart the
fart, just touch the middle of your screen and he'll fart, speeding him up and
giving him a little more elevation. The higher you toss him, the higher he'll
go, but it's about distance rather than height. There are bumpers both on the
ground and in the sky, and you don't want to hit them from underneath. There
are also spikes that your poor gugl can get impailed on. Watch out! T
he more you play, the better your aim will be.
Anyway, the only drawback to the game is that you can't hear your score
in-game. you have to go to game center and hear your rank, then go to the list
of players and click on yoiur name, and this only gives you your highest score.
I've contacted the dev and asked if there is any way for him to make the score
spoken, but no reply thus far. Still a very good little game, and of course the
kids love it too.
