Giant Boulder of Death is Adult Swim’s bizarre new endless-rolling game for iOS and Android. Much like most games of this type, there are two types of currencies, which are coins (the standard currency) and gems (the premium currency of the game, and the one that normally costs real money to buy). Coins are used to purchase the various available upgrades in the game, as well as to get a head start and to extend the length of said head start. Gems are used to continue or to bypass quests.
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.
