It would seem that movie tie-ins have a new home in the form of the App Store. Given that they’ve always had a cheap and throwaway feel to them, this suits us just fine.
To be fair, this match-three puzzler doesn’t look all that cheap. It’s as colourful as you may expect for a game based around foodstuff, while the artwork remains faithful to the source material.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2: Foodimal Frenzy is a cutesy Match 3 game with beautiful presentation and addicting gameplay. It is nothing revolutionary and the IAP can get in the way at times but it is a charming experience worth trying.
It’s not so much that the longwindedly titled Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2: Foodimal Frenzy isn’t entertaining; more that it’s too much like so many other games within its genre. It’s a Match-3 game with an energy system thrown in to encourage in-app purchases. The energy system isn’t too obtrusive, but do expect to have to wait a little while to have some extra turns.
