Touch Arcade: Like it or not, you can’t ignore the physics puzzle category on iOS. With so many games to play that are just like it, why would anyone want to play Eager Beaver [ $0.99 ]? Because you’ve never played one with an incredibly excited beaver before, that’s why.
Most of the beavers in Eager Beaver are lethargic and just don’t care too much about building dams. In their place we have Edgar, a beaver who is so good at building dams that he has even created contraptions to do it for him. Edgar seems so excited about building dams that you probably won’t be able to help get a bit excited yourself.
AppSpy: Eager Beaver mixes up the tower-building concept by placing it underwater; while similar in many ways it proves to be entertaining despite the same-ish feel.
GDN: Edgar is an industrious beaver who’s created a crane to help his dam building abilities. But the items he finds to help dam up the rivers might not be exactly what you’d expect. The dam building pieces take on various shapes, sizes and materials, everything from oblong rocks to used up tin cans and more. Each reacts slightly differently to the rushing current that you need to dam up. On top of that there are switches, magnets, drain vents and even explosives that will help or hinder you on each level.
AppSmile: Eager Beaver, a fantastic physics-puzzler developed by Gamagio and published by Chillingo, is now available from the app store. Featuring building mechanics mixed with fluid dynamics, timing aspects, and efficiency requirements, Eager Beaver is poised to be the next big mobile puzzler.
