Eko Software’s underwater puzzler Aqua Panic, which has previously made appearances on the PSP, PS3, Wii & Nintendo DS, swims it’s way onto the iPhone and iPad later this month courtesy of French publisher BulkyPix. The game features a variety of fun fishy characters and has you using all manner of water-manipulating tools to guide a school of fish to safety. It’s been compared to addictive games like Lemmings.
Despite its overtly cute appearance, the game is deep and addicting. At times some of the puzzles can be simply brain bustingly challenging and as such are a blast to tackle. Each layout provides a unique series of challenges to players, and tackling the environment by deciding how to manipulate the flow and direction the fish to safety is a fun and satisfying experience. In the end you will find yourself quickly trying to best your own score as well as those of your friends on Game Center.
Full list of features…
- Up to 80 levels and 8000 wispy fish to rescue
- HD graphics on iPad, iPhone 4 and iPhone/iPod
- Five fun and colourful environments: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Inferno!
- Narcoleptic sharks, hungry seagulls, sliding penguins and other giant moray
- More than 10 tools to master: bombs, plants, harpoons, fans, attractors, and various devices to freeze water, collect fish or create clouds
- Game Center compatible
