Sweet Fun and Serious Iphone Apps Reviews

ToMaCow is a funny game that utilise the tilt accelerometer control
to let gamers play the game.

You can tilt your iPhone sideways far or close depending on where the aliens are coming from. If the aliens are coming close to your cows, you tilt your iphone sideways close. If they are far, you just tilt them sideways far to shoot at them from a far distance. You can also tilt your iPhone vigorously to make the tomatoes scattered all over to have a widespread effect on the aliens.

There are alot of aliens in this game. They can be categorized by the way they move. The small green aliens walk slowly to abduct your cows. They are usually accompanied by red aliens that throw bombs at you. Once they knock you out with your bombs, the green aliens will quickly snatch away your cows while you are in a daze.

The yellow floating aliens can act as your explosive once you hit them with your tomatoes. Once they are in a daze after hit, drag and drop them to the centre of the alien crowd and it will explode, leaving aliens running for cover.

The flying blue aliens are not a threat to me. Once I hit it, it will drop a letter and on the top left corner of the screen forms the word “Lucky” when you eventually kill those flying blue aliens with letters. However, if they come in pairs or fours, you have to be careful. They will abduct turn your cow to a chicken on a plate and attempt to fly away.

The blue fat aliens is capable of swallowing your cow in one gulp. They look like mickey mouse from far away. Beware of them and don’t even let them close to your cows. Once they swallow the cows, the chances of you getting back your cows is slim.

There are also underground tunneling aliens that creep below the ground. They creep near your cows and kidnap them. These aliens are harder to aim at compared to the normal ones.

The big fat green alien with a yellow cap is the boss alien. You will need 3 or more yellow explosive aliens to destroy the boss. The boss alien is capable of sending earthquakes to the ground that leaves you in a daze while the other aliens snatch away your cows.

You have to protect your farm because you only have four tomacows. Once the last one is abducted by aliens, the game ends.

Some gamers reported the game crashes for them. But mine did not initially. The game will hang on the game loading screen at first.  If you encountered the game hang on you, just do a soft reset by pressing hold + power and the iPhone will be reset. I find the game crash in the later stages when I change the game control from control A to B. I have feedback this problem to the developer so we should be able to expect this problem to be resolved in the next updates.

Overall, I feel this game is fun. You can try all sorts of tilting to prevent the aliens from kidnapping your cows. Once you rescue your cows, they do walk back to the farm. You should see the way they walk and it will surely makes you laugh! The game supports local and global score boards. After you played the game, be sure to turn on your Wi-Fi to submit your game scores online.
