Apple I-Touch: Rick Rocketson Review

Rick Rocketson is a 2-D platformer for the apple i-phone and i-pod touch. You are, to the best of my ability, some crazy space guy in a tin can suit. You have a blaster gun, as well as the ability to throw grenades. You will be traversing level after level trying to collect items and keys.

The controls are what make this game, or I should say break this game over its knee and effectively kill the momentum that builds in the game. You can either have the controls shown on the screen (probably the best option), or you can basically tap on the screen and pray that the character does what you were expecting them to do. The real problem is that even with the controls on the screen you're going to find that fat fingering is going to kill you time and time again.

The graphics makes it look like a semi-early flash game.

The music sounds like an early PC game.

This game could have been a really good one to have if there was some way to make the controls a bit tighter, but as it stands unless you want to put in the time to thoroughly master the controls you're going to put this game aside. Rick Rocketson gets a 6.4 out of 10.
