One of my favourites from back in my Palm days.</p> <p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=297288395&amp;mt=8">Bike Or Die 2</a>.<br> <img alt="I can totally land this!" src="https://bwinton.github.io/weblog.latte.ca/images/blake/iTouch/BikeOrDie.png"></p> <p>It’s awesome. It’s harder than I remember the Palm version being, but that's probably as much because I'm out of practice as anything else. After a couple of weeks of playing the beta version, I’m now at the point where I rarely hit the wrong button, even though they're on-screen instead of being hard buttons.</p> <p>Not only is it a great game for what it is, but it’s got a ton of <a href="http://bike.toyspring.com/levels.php">user-created levels</a>, and an online <a href="http://bike.toyspring.com/view.php">high score board</a> (which I’m <a href="http://bike.toyspring.com/player.php?p=35">nowhere near</a> the top of). The re-playability of this game is stunning.</p> <p>If you're still undecided, you can read <a href="http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=1318">the thread</a> about it on TouchArcade. (Yeah, I’ve been answering a bunch of questions over there.) There’s also <a href="http://tinyurl.com/bikeordie">a video</a> showing gameplay from the beta.</p> <p>Finally, it only costs $2.99, but I hear it’s going up to $7 after the introductory period is over. (I suggested he sell it for $7.99-$9.99, but he’s apparently a nicer person than I am.)</p> <p>(No, he’s not paying me for this. Heck, I didn’t even get an iTunes gift certificate for all my hard work finding bugs. I just really like the game.)</p></div>bikeordiegamesitouchhttps://bwinton.github.io/weblog.latte.ca/blake/tech/iTouch/moregames/Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:47:34 GMT
