"Scoops" by Nimblebit

Rating- 5 stars

"Scoops" is addictive, fun, and creative. It asks you right off if you would like sound, so you can continue to listen to your own music, but it also has its own music which, unlike most apps, is cheery, fun, and able to stay in the background. The gameplay is simple- you tilt your Ipod or Iphone to catch scoops of ice cream but avoid tomatoes and onions. If you catch something you're not supposed to you lose one of three stars, but you can later catch a purple scoop to regain a star. The game can be used to keep a child occupied but is just as fun for every age group. It seems as though "Scoops" would become frustrating as it gets higher, but I have found myself playing for hours, just trying to get a new high score. Nimblebit has created a background in which you will pass various planets the higher you get, so there is also an incentive to catch as many scoops as possible and the game stays interesting. I enjoyed this game very much, and I expect that you will too.
