Cricky app review: a book filled with fun

Introduction

Who says that reading can't be a fun-filled adventure? The Cricky app is a brand new release that can be played on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and it's very simple in its gameplay. You need to swipe to flip through the pages of this book and then test your concentration and speed. The book will flip at random speeds just to give you that added challenge and there are power-ups to gain. There are 14 different skill levels with seven mission levels so that means plenty of gaming to be enjoyed.

Simple Yet Challenging

This app is very simple yet challenging with lots of cool elements to discover. As mentioned there are 14 different skill levels with seven mission levels. As well there are seven different power ups, which can completely change your game. If you find the power ups are too hard to gain on your own you can always purchase a bundle of them as an in-app purchase. Now it should be noted that even though this app can be played on any of your iDevices it is best played on the iPhone.

As mentioned this is a brand-new release and already has a perfect five star rating from customers. Customers have plenty to say about this app as they seem to be quite impressed with the gameplay, the graphics, and the addictive nature of the game.

 

Playing the Game

For those of you who just love a challenge and being able to show off to friends you'll love that it supports the Leaderboard. The game features multi-player mode so you can challenge your friends to a tournament. This is done through Nextpeer. I find the iTunes description of this app to be a bit vague and once you start the game it’s clear why it is so vague. The gameplay definitely takes a couple of tries to not only get used to but to fully understand what you are doing. The first time you launch the app there is a tutorial, which is very helpful.

Now as for the positive: the gameplay is smooth, graphics are cute and fun, and so are the sound effects. The user interface makes navigating through the menu and options very easy. The bad part is that the app has crashed on me at various points. Once you get playing though the game really is very catchy and addictive as you try to out-play your friends and your own personal best.
