Apple'n'Apps - When a giant boulder is bent of vengeance, the best thing to do is get out of the way. Luckily, you get to play as the boulder in the brand new Giant Boulder of Death game from Adult Swim and PikPok, makers of Robot Unicorn Attack 2, Extinction Squad, and Super Monsters Ate My Condo. Giant Boulder of Death is a fast paced arcade action game that presents an endless score attack where you try to run over as much as possible as the boulder.
John Bedford (Modojo): Regular Modojo readers will know that we like to bring you a round-up of all the new iPhone and iPad games that hit the App Store when the clock strikes midnight each Thursday. What about you Android gamers out there though? To which new games should you turn when you're next killing time?
There was a time when you may not have thought of Adult Swim as having decent games or games in general, but now after their release of hit games such as Robot Unicorn Attack and Monsters Ate My Condo they have secured a spot as a prime developer/publisher of quality games. Their latest foray into the video game world is called Giant Boulder of Death in which you play as a sentient boulder hell bent on revenge on a small town for turning his girlfriend into a statue.
EG:Giant Boulder of Death is a quintessential Adult Swim game. It's strange and silly, but also incredibly well balanced and designed underneath its anarchic surface. Most importantly, the feel of it is just right - impacts feel crunchy and the time spent as an invincible ball of destruction are wonderfully cathartic - while the game keeps adding more weirdness on top the longer you play. Rock on.
