Giant Boulder of Death is the newest Adult Swim game for the iPhone and iPad. This endless “runner” has you playing a a gigantic boulder and trying to destroy every possible thing in your path, from trees to barns to yetis and people in lederhosen, while trying to avoid obstacles such as spiked walls and homing mines, which can stop your run, or just blow you up.
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.
