Have fun!

The things I like with the iPhone/iPod App and Android Doodle Jump version is the touch screen ease of use and the different skins that you can have but if you play it on a phone that has no touch screen you are a bit limited, as you have to press buttons to fire etc…

My Sony Ericsson phone cuts off the screen after so much time so you have to keep firing your bullets in order for the screen to stay on – I’m sure I could have used some kind of setting to stop that but I was merely playing so I could write this up! Also you cant take it to another phone because it is only compatable with those types of phones… (and I knew my next phone would be touch sensitive so it was just pointless them stinging people for that money. £2 of my own money PLUS the charge for the downloading/searching for the app on MY credit!) AND if you want to upload your score to the web its even MORE money!!! PFFT!

The Android version plays just like the iPhone/iPod App and you can upload your scores to the internet. (The iPhone/iPod has the Game Center (Multiplayer) which you can battle against your friends). However the Android version has Local Challenge where you can physically pass the phone to someone sitting next to you and battle that way.

My favourite platform to play it on without question is the iPhone’s because of the features and that I have been playing that version the longest!

So come on Jumpers, tell me your highest score!

However there is Nintendo DS and iPod/iPhone Sims games and you only can control one character that you make. That is a little boring I think but still interesting how they devise the challenges.

Just recently The Sims Social has HIT Facebook and that is really cool. Still only being able to control one character but it is so much more interactive than the NDS or the iOS ones. The Sims Social is almost perfect and there is so much more functionality to it, still only being a one-profile game.

I would rate The Sims Social but I haven’t played it massively yet, but I may do a full review later and link back here to this post.

I have wanted one for a while and it is useful when I want to write notes or tweet as the iPod onscreen keyboard doesn’t show so it leaves more space to see what I have typed.

The keyboard is £11 delivered from 7dayshop online and is worth it because it is user friendly and will work with most computers and handheld devices.

I wondered how the 21st century has shaped your gaming life and what you hope to get out of gaming technology during the next 5 years.
What games console do you frequently play and how long for?

This all put aside, it isnt doing much good for my health. I think I need to start walking… Ah there’s a DS game for that too! hehe

Use FLUD which is free on the Apple App store!

It comes with pre installed RSS feeds (geeky) which you can chose to get rid of if you so choose, you can even add RSS feeds to it by selecting ‘Search’ in the Settings menu.
Then type the web url or a search term and the recommended links will come up.

Just search DSHeaven and my blog and Twitter feed will appear in the search!

Happy FLUDding!

It can be played at any time, so not just at Christmas as it has a real wintery feel to it and it has an easy to play style of gaming. You have to feed the people that come through the door and sit at the tables. To get the food to the customers you need to drag the meal onto the serving counters so the waiters can pick up food to serve it! However you must clean the stove after you cook so you can cook again!

You can customise the restaurant with different tables and chars and accessories like windows and plants and other great things which add to ‘room score’ for luxury items. Some luxury items will have to be paid for using the special green note cash as they are rare special enhancements. You can also use these green note cash for speeding up cooking so you cook a meal instantly. If you have no food on the serving counters you will lose customers and popularity.

You can master dishes exactly like other games with this style of gaming. As you cook more things and progress you earn money and Experience Ponts and you go up levels so eventuallly you can cook everything and be a total master of Xmas cooking!

Here is a screenshot of my game at level 8. You can see things cooking on the stove.

You can also upgrade the size of the restaurant with your cash and it replicates the floor and wall tiles to match with your design, where Baking Story (another iPhone/iPod game) fails to do this.

During Christmas I will be Tweeting as usual but expect to see a post after 12th day (5/6 Jan) when I want to relaunch my 2011 campaign for gaming!

But to get you all into the spirit of Xmas, Lima Sky have released a special Christmas edition of Doodle Jump for 59p! – Hope to see you with your highscores soon!

See you in the new year!

I have only just downloaded it today on my iPod, but I can see I am going to be playing it for a good while to try and beat it!

Your little stick man must land on the pillars and you must control when he drops… sounds simple..? When he is swinging back and forth and the heights and widths are different it proves not so easy!

If you get right in the middle of a pillar you get bonus points and you compete with others on the high score records chart to become top swinger! If you fall off you will lose a life (max at start is 3).

Go on, download it for fr€€ at the Apple app store right now before the offer goes!

Happy Swinging!
