Saucelifter…

Gaming, iPhone Love

So, here I was, checking out toucharcade.com as I sometimes do when I want to see what new games are available for the iPhone, and I came across this little gem called “Saucelifter“:

Basically, it is a variation of the classic game “Choplifter“, which back in the day was one of my favourite games. The vector graphics in Saucelifter are simplistic, yet very detailed, which is why I love games that use vector graphic engines (“Out Of This World” and “Flashback” are other games that come to mind). The controls take a bit of getting used to, and it certainly isn’t a game to be played while on the bus or any other moving vehicle due to the use of the accelerometer to control your spaceship, but overall it is quickly becoming one of my favourite games on the iPhone.

Here’s a link to the YouTube video of the gameplay if you want to check it out:

Daily Shots

I have a huge respect for nature, and this is especially evident through my love of thunderstorms. It is a reminder that even though humans think of themselves as the dominant force on the planet, we are nothing in comparison to the weather. For example, the thunderstorm we had this Saturday had some pretty strong winds, and it snapped this tree like a twig. Thankfully it didn’t do much damage, but it certainly was a sight.
