Zombie Café







It’s hard to find good help, which is why you’ve partnered with an evil corporation to use zombies as free labor to build your café empire. Prepare food, direct your zombies and manage supplies. If the competition gets too fierce you can always direct your zombie workers to attack a neighboring café and steal their secret recipes.
Features:
- Transform customers into zombie waiters using toxin and have them do your bidding… but be careful! If you work a zombie too hard they’ll get tired and will try and eat customers
- Raid neighboring cafes to steal recipes and toxin
- Decorate your cafe with more than 100 items from the store
- Collect and prepare more than 50 zombie-inspired recipes
- Connect with your Facebook friends to form a franchise: order food, collect fees, and share recipes
- Keep playing even when you don’t have an network signal, or cook while you’re online every day to earn special “Frequent Fryer” bonuses
- Retina display graphics

Pros
  1. Addictive & unique against other time management games
  2. Really superb graphics
  3. Interesting to watch the zombies attacking other diners! :D
Cons
  1. Time consuming! Hahaha productivity will drop! Not safe for work!
  2. Zombies should not get tired…haha they should be hungry!
  3. Other than attacking your friends…there’s no other ways to poke them? :D
Tips & Tricks
  1. In the beginning trial & error…do take risk and find out the best way to start & have fun
  2. Different human have different energy levels hence try to find out which person is the BEST to be your zombie slave
  3. Avoid the first recipe “Mystery Meat” after the first cook as it does not earn you any money
  4. It takes estimated the same time to cook for it to get rotten (if left on the stove), hence 1 hour cooking then it will get rotten 1 hour after it’s cooked
  5. Take out your competitors or you get less customers
  6. Decorate your diners to your heart contents…ONLY when you have money! Don’t waste!
  7. Attacking your neighboring Diners will unlock new recipe for you, try it!
  8. There are special items to buy to improve on your game but they cost toxins or money.
  9. Toxins are very precious, don’t waste them on increasing the speed of cooking…try using them to hire chef later in the game
  10. If you ran out of food, try closing the diners by clicking on the door & reopen it when your food is ready.
  11. Closing your diner also good for resting your zombies!
Overall, this game have more features then most time management games and have more things to explore however when it’s time to decide how good they are…they are almost the same….a time management game.
However, Zombie cafe does have it’s attractiveness & it’s satisfying to see how your diner grow from nothing to become something.

Each spot has its own challenges to overcome that grow in difficulty.

  2. Each player have their own “super power” like heroes
  3. Simple & very user friendly interface
  4. Feel like playing a consol game like Nintendo Wii
Cons
  1. Online multiplayer need to register account, it’s not as seamless as using gamecenter to handle the online multiplayer match up
  2. Is it possible to allow players to connect an iPhone or iPodtouch to their iPad via bluetooth and use them as the golf stick?
  3. More golf course! More more more!
Overall, I find this game very addicting and want some “explosive force” golfing.
It’s slightly expensive on the appstore however it’s worth it’s value for gamers who love golf casual gaming.

COLOR ME !!! ONE OF THE BEST COLORING APPLICATION FOR iPHONE & iPOD TOUCH NOW AVAILABLE FOR iPAD !!!!
A coloring booklet for children at the age of 2-6 years. Diverse pictures and color palette will trigger the development of your child’s imagination and shape his/her senses.
A very friendly and intuitive application enables your child to easily create extraordinary pictures.

Only a touch of a finger and the selected element of the coloring will be filled with colors.
Shaking the iPad will cause the cleansing of the picture and therefore provides endless possibilities for coloring of the pictures.
It is also possible to save the masterpieces of your child in the image gallery. Then the child will be able to place them on the desktop of your device..

Allow your child to discover the world of colors by means of “Color Me!”
Pros
  1. Very powerful yet simple user interface!
  2. Makes most kids proud of their own painting!
  3. Able to bring the creativity out of most kids
Cons
  1. Can’t share the image via email, twitter but it’s not critical as you can do it after exporting to photo library
  2. There’s no “Undo” option in the advance controls
  3. You cannot import your own “uncolored” images
  4. Cannot see your friends creations via gamecenter or other social network leaderboards
Overall, this app is one of the best coloring application I had seen on iOS appstore and yes I had seen some crappy ones.
This app really set the standard for coloring app for the future developers to meet but I hope this developer can further improve by adding more features.

Tiny Tower







Tiny Tower lets you build a tiny tower and manage the businesses and bitizens that inhabit it!


★ Make money to build new types of floors and attract bitizens to live and work inside.

★ Special events and VIP visitors will earn you special perks as you build your tower towards the clouds.

★ Customize the look and placement of each floor and the bitizens that live in them, and upgrade your elevator.

★ Game Center integration to let you see your friends towers, back up your game and earn awards.

★ See what is on your bitizens’ minds by peeking at the “BitBook” virtual social network for your tower!

Pros
  1. Cute graphics & great user interface makes this a excellent freemium time management game!
  2. You do not need to keep playing to earn money, just stock up enough items to sell in each businesses you get $ when you go back in!
  3. Your kids will love this game and keep quiet in the car!
Cons
  1. There is only one copy of save game in the game center which makes it inconvenient if you have multiple devices playing the same game by different people.
  2. If you mess with the date of the device, it will screw up the game
  3. If the game crash, you do get to load the save copy of the game…but you can’t really control when that copy was saved!
  4. When you get to higher levels, it takes longer to build a new levels without using the “Tower Bux”
Tips & Tricks
  1. Always stock up the 3rd items first, the 3rd item takes longer time to run out then the first 2 hence you can time it to have all three items stocked up at the same time if you never use “tower bux”.
  2. Always keep good employees & evict the bad ones, higher relevant skills will make the business cheaper to buy stocks to sell hence make more money
  3. If you have time, help bitizens up the elevator to earn some coins or even get some occasional “tower bux” tips!
  4. VIP visitors will help you plenty hence keep an eye on the VIP icon when you are in game.
  5. Find missing person mini game is a quick way to earn “tower bux”, keep a look out for them too!
  6. Put your bitizen in their dream job will make them happy! Hmm
  7. BBook seems to be a virtual facebook for bitizen to express their virtual opinions in the game but too bad it’s not by real people
Overall, I find the developer had created an addictive platform similar to other free time management games. The only things I can think to improve on it is to make a real in-app chat between friends of game center…but this need Apple to wake up and give the developers an API for that.
Game Center is so similar to other leader board that needs some additional feature which like multiple save games & in-app chat posting (like twitter) with reply options & Direct private messages.
This game is free & universal which makes it a must have for all! :D
