Touchaholics: Aerox is a game that puts you in a 3D world in control of a very futuristic looking ball. Your objective is simple: reach the pillar of light at the end of the level by any means possible.
Mobot: And so to the App Store’s Aerox (not available on Google Play, I’m afraid), a game currently riding high in Top Free Games (“FREE for a limited time only!”), and with pretty decent user reviews.
Is Aerox another App Store gem, or was it a waste of freakin’ time? Answer: the first one. Well, mostly.
Aerox takes its cue from the likes of Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball. Essentially you’re using your iDevice’s accelerometer to tilt a ball around series of courses.
Play takes place on a series of platforms at sea that are sort of the antitheses of BP in appeal. Each level begins with a skippable panorama of the playfield to be navigated. Luckily, early stages are simple and an as-you-play tutorial offers all the guidance one needs.
STP: If you’ve played any 3D marble-rolling game before, you pretty much know what you’ll be getting into with Aerox: long, twisting levels with obstacles to overcome. In Aerox's case, it also has superb controls and lots of polish. However, one major exploit keeps it from achieving our top score.
