[野球ゲームアプリ] 「Baseball Slugger」が面白い


Baseball Slugger」は、どれだけたくさんホームランを打てるかを競うゲーム。

単純だけどかなりハマります。

ちゃんとバットの芯に当てないと遠くまで飛んでくれないので、なかなかにコツがいりますし、ピッチャーも色んな球種を繰り出してくるので、やみくもにバットを振っていてはダメだったりします。


4つのモードで遊べますが何と言っても楽しいのが「Matchup」モード。

世界中のプレイヤーとオンラインでホームランダービー対決が出来ます。

まだまだヘタクソなので何十回と対戦して2回しか勝ててませんが、かなり盛り上がります。

「全然勝てないからつまんね、他のゲームしよ」とならないところがこのゲームのよく出来たところだと思います。

Mmakinoで登録してますので良かったらライバルに追加してみてください。

Win Pointを稼ぎたい方にはいいカモだと思いますよw


[気になるアプリ] ABCs with Kittens (Education) [英語学習アプリ]


Help teach your child how to read, write and speak the alphabet with the assistance of kittens. The pictures and interaction with the kittens will help children enjoy the material which helps keep them focused while they learn.


How it works:

1) Each letter has a kitten associated with it. Each letter is given in uppercase and lowercase.

2) If you click on the letter, the letter will be spoken in a clear spoken voice.

3) You may interact with the kitten. If you click on the kitten, they will either meow or purr.

4) You can go through the alphabet in order, or go through randomly "flash card style".


Overall it is very easy to use and it's designed with the idea that the child will actually hold and play with it, rather than the parent holding it and showing children the interactions.

Enjoy!

[気になるアプリ] Balloon Cut (Games)


This game reminds of BUSTER BROTHERS, BUBBLE TROUBLE or PANG game but it is conceptually different. The main objective is to split balls into tinier pieces using the 'tail' end of your meteor. All navigation is done by finger. After you successfully 'cut' all the bubbles, you go onto the next level containing more and more faster balloons. The gameplay is simplistic yet easy to learn. Meteor is moving toward the direction where your finger is pointed but it is not immediate movement so you need to be skilled for the ride.

Features:
- Unlimited number of levels
- Instructions
- High Scores Table
- Pause/Unpause
- Save/Continue game
- Collecting gems
- Shield token
- New life token
- Slow down token
Each token could be bought with certain amount of collected gems.

Game is very easy to play and yet entertaining and challenging so anyone can try it: kids and adults. In further versions there will be some extra balloons with special powers.

Please be patient for new versions. Game is continuously being improved. All suggestions will be considered.

Next update 1.2.1 is on the way with new features as:
- Global High Scores Table
- Different Backgrounds
- More balloon kinds

Tips:
- While playing you don't need to drag your finger over the screen all the time. Tap the positions where you want your meteor to come. You will have better view that way.
- If you tap near the meteor it will move slowly. If you tap further it will move faster.

What's new

- when inserting high score name is remembered for the next high score
- new look for main menu
- no more new life each 50 points
- balloon speed meter is presented

New features:
- save/continue game
- collecting gems
- shield token
- new life token
- slow down token
Each token can be bought with certain amount of collected gems.

意外に奥の深いゲームかも。
