WpCentral - Parachute Panic dropped into the Marketplace a little while ago bringing a unique look to the Xbox Live gaming app line up. The Windows Phone 7 game offers a simple approach to the graphics and may have some of the best sound effects/music tracks of any Windows Phone game.
"Iphones have become popular due to their many features and clever apps. Even with
all the capabilities of the iPhone, most of the time you only hear about the most popular
games being played at the time. With that said, today we present to you the five most
addictive games for the iPhone."
The premise of Parachute Panic HD is fairly simple: planes fly overhead while boats travel across the sea below, and the player has to guide falling parachutists from the former to the latter. The entire game is controlled via tap and stroke controls on the touchscreen: tap the parachutist to open his parachute, stroke to create a gust of wind to guide him in the right direction. Repeatedly tap a helicopter to eliminate it before it’s makes messy contact with one (or more) of your parachutists, swipe to keep them in the air in the hop of catching a falling fish for a bonus point. Parachute Panic HD’s controls are as intuitive as they possibly can be, which only adds to the absorbing pick-up-and-play nature of the game.
