Popies is an Intense Whack-a-Mole Clone
As news is a bit slow today, we decided to head over to the Android market to take a look at some of the more intesting games to be released lately. We stumbled across a game called Popies which – for lack of a better definition – looks like a whack-a-mole clone. They add a lot of things on top of the traditional whack-a-mole gameplay such as special mallets that can be infused with elemental powers.Different “popies” – as the characters are called – bring about different challenges. The blue guys are about as easy to hit as they are in a real whack-a-mole game, while others may take 5 or more hits before they get back into their hole. You can shop for different mallets, power-ups, and health, but you’ll only have so many chances to take advantage of that opportunity as it only presents itself every once in a while. The game has great graphics, enjoyable sound, and achievements help motivate you to play more, but it becomes a bit overwhelming as you go along. I was playing on Easy mode and I still had trouble keeping up. When they’re throwing 5 “fat popies” (the yellow ones who take longer to kill) at you at once while 3 more red ones pop up, things start getting out of hand.Even if you purchase the more powerful mallets or the area damage power-ups, you’ll quickly find yourself mashing all over the screen as you try sodesperatelyto kill all those popies. More skilled players will have fun with it. The lite version is worth a shot and you can buy the full one for $1.99 if you end up liking it. Find both in the Android market. [Lite | Full]
