It is a simple, challenging and addictive game with great design and replay value. Unfortunately, like with all great things there are many copycats. There are a whole new line to line drawing\/prioritizing games now, must are fun to play, but it is hard to enjoy them as much of the original.

The motorcycles are really hard to see, which I guess is an accurate representation of real life. The gameplay is simple, flick cars, trucks or motorcycles through the intersection before traffic coming from other directions smashes into them. You can also stop the vehicles for a couple seconds, but what fun is that, plus after a second or two they automatically start up again whether the coast is clear or not.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=322423174&#038;mt=8\">http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=322423174&#038;mt=8<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=313014213&#038;mt=8\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/images\/iphone_icons\/harbor_master.png?w=900\" align=\"left\" style=\"margin-right:6px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harbor Master:<\/strong><br \/>\nA very good adaptation of the Flight Control gameplay, almost the same game with a different theme.

The graphics are great and really give it that salty dog feel. The game offers a couple nice features like subs, subs are cool, and wreck tolerance. The game does not end on the first crash.

Graphics are really nice, It has an in-app purchase feature, which kind of scares me. Between each level you use points to buy stuff upgrades and health. I have to wonder am I spending real money, like Microsoft Points on the xBox? I am taking a break from this game until my next recept from the iTunes store just to make sure.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=318793454&#038;mt=8\">http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=318793454&#038;mt=8<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=312494232\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/images\/iphone_icons\/knights_onrush.png?w=900\" align=\"left\" style=\"margin-right:6px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Knights Onrush:<\/strong><br \/>\nI think this is the most fun castle defense game I have played. I know some of you will want to stay with the old-school Stick Wars, but this game has a lot more to it then just flicking enemies away from your castle. It starts out like any other castle defense game, infantry attacking your castle. Your job is to flick them away, toss them into a fiery pit or hang them on a hook before the breach your door. Points are earned by kills and you can upgrade your fortress with reenforced doors. You have eight days for each level. That&#8217;s right levels, once you complete a level you get to defend a new castle, each with extra powers or features that add a variety of ways of  dispensing your foes. Also the the attacking armies will send Calvary as well as bombers to your door, again adding some variety and a tiny bit of tactics.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=312494232\">http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=312494232<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tunneling Games:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=314864297&#038;mt=8\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/images\/iphone_icons\/i_dig_it.png?w=900\" align=\"left\" style=\"margin-right:6px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>I DIg It: <\/strong>(<em>$1.99<\/em>)<br \/>\nThis is a great app to escape with, I really like the graphics and layout of all the weathered controls. It does get tedious though, in the campaign you have to earn $100,000 by digging up stuff, called Digg&#8217;ems from under the farm. It is important to make a mining plan because going after items one at a time will produce a maze a tunnels making it harder to get back to the surface before your fuel runs out. The problem with this campaign is you have 3 hours, not game world hours, litteraly 3 hours to complete the challenge. I am about an hour and a half into the challenge after a few attempts. My mining plan is solid so now the game is really repetitive, digging the same old things over and over again occasionally finding something new. Dropping down to over a 1000 feet, I wonder how far down this thing will go?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=314864297&#038;mt=8\">http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=314864297&#038;mt=8<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Number Games:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=317223443&#038;mt=8\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/images\/iphone_icons\/nine_gaps.png?w=900\" align=\"left\" style=\"margin-right:6px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nine Gaps:<\/strong><br \/>\nThis game is a mixed feeling of fun and homework. Even though it feels like school I have played it many times. The game goes like this, 9 squares (3 rows, 3 columns) that must be filled with nine numbers. They are separated by mathematical signs and must equate to the numbers on the left of each row and the bottom of each column. I like puzzle games, this is kind of a puzzle game, but mostly a math game.
