Super Slobber Dog – Play it for Fun, Play for a Cause

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

The first iPhone app out of the gate for small, independent gaming company Sheep Haus Productions, Super Slobber Dog is described as “a Saturday morning cartoon mixed with pong and brick breaker.” And that’s a fairly apt description. With cut scene animations and gameplay that mimics pong, Super Slobber Dog presents an amusing story line with familiar game actions.

Soar Over a Colorful Landscape in Tiny Wings

Friday, March 4th, 2011

Tiny Wings is one of those one-button mobile games meant for casual gamers. Like NinJump Deluxe and others, the key to getting a high score in Tiny Wings lies in perfectly timing when you tap the screen. Other games in the genre are hurt by this limitation, but Tiny Wings is a success on every level. The game is gorgeous, challenging, and, most important of all, addictive. Tiny Wings is so named because the bird the player controls has—get this—very tiny wings. These wings are so tiny, in fact, that the only way this bird can become airborne is to use a series of rolling hills as ramps. The player can touch the screen to cause the bird to tuck its wings and dive, and not touch the screen to let it flap its wings in an attempt to stay in flight. If you time it just right, this bird can get some real altitude. Read the rest of Soar Over a Colorful Landscape in Tiny Wings AppCraver.com, 2011. | Best iPhone Applications | Top iPhone Apps  

BusyBee is the First Business Social Networking App for iPhone

Friday, March 4th, 2011

“Busy Bee” may be a common commercial moniker for everything from stores to auto repair shops, but the BusyBee iPhone app  is definitely unique. Similar to LinkedIn in so far as the concept of business social networking, BusyBee has some real possibility and the potential to grow into something very productive. The premise is simple – and could be quite useful in these difficult times. Users can create profiles pertaining to their professional skills and connect with users looking to hire or contract with people with said skills. For instance, carpenters, freelance writers, and graphic designers can create profiles to include in the BusyBee database. Any user who might be looking for someone to build a shed, write a resume, or design a logo can browse BusyBee and connect with the appropriate professional. The database, aptly referred to as “the hive,” can be browsed by current location to help make local connections no matter where you happen to be.
