Touch Physics Lite
What better way to capture one the biggest markets for the iPhone and iPod Touch, the super-smart tech savvy IT professional, then to release a game that incorporates their favourite device and their favourite subject in one go? That’s exactly what Touch Physics Lite, the free version of the paid game Touch Physics, wants to do. Created by Mark D. Simpson, the game combines the subject of Physics with semi-addictive idea to create what could possibly be a great series.
Before you think about buying or downloading this game, we must warn you. You do not need to be a physicist to understand this game, but it does help if you know the core basics. Something that hits something else with force will transfer that force (make the other thing move) and a heavier object can produce more force, yada yada yada. The game begins with a tutorial level, and then it throws you right in. The first few levels are fairly simple, but the least 3 are where you really have to get thinking. The sad part here is that just when you’re getting the hang of the game and getting interested, the free version of the game ends, and you have to buy it to continue. While this may be a great marketing strategy for the maker, we do believe that they would get a lot more sales if they threw in a couple more levels to get users completely immersed in the game first.
So, do we think this this App has a very bright future? You can bet on it. Can the developer do a better job and provide more value for their free users? Certainly. The concept is solid, but the content is not. With that all said and done, we award this App a interesting 3 out of 5 stars.
