Scoops review





Scoops - Ice Cream Fun for Everyone by NimbleBit

Current Price: $1.99

Reviewed at v1.6.1

Scoops is a fun stacking game that involves everyone's favorite foods: ice cream and veggies. While that statement is contestable, there is no doubt that Scoops is a fun game anyone could enjoy.

You start out with an empty cone, and slowly built up your cone by stacking the scoops of ice cream. Avoid veggies to maintain your multiplier bonus though! I noticed you seem to multiply higher with stacking same color scoops, but that's impossible to do continuously. There are rainbow cones, that up your score and multiplier, and the title scoop purple with stars, that give you an extra 'star,' or life. Or else it's 3 veggies and you're out!

The game is easy to play. Use the accelerometer to catch the right items, and watch you go higher and higher into the sky, until you reach the planets.

The graphics are cartoon-style but fun to see. The background transitioning is smooth and looks good as well. The sounds do not support a mute switch, and recently, NimbleBit implemented sounds from Sky Burger when you nearly catch a veggie. It's not a bad thing, but I'm not a fan of it.

The game has few options, besides global and personal scores, and challenge emails.

The app costs $1.99. It will provide escapes from boring lectures, car rides, and other events in which you need quick entertainment. Check out Scoops today!
