Review: Puppet Wars Comes to iPod Touch / iPhone

What do you get when you mix the Muppets with Half-Life?  You get Twindigo’s Puppet War fps – a first puppet shooter that’s a first person shooter with excellent frames per second!  Just think, you star as a janitor who starts off with only your mop to mop up those muppet puppets.  You’ll go through the each stage, and we literally mean a children’s show stage blowing off their heads with various firearms or going melee with bats, chainsaws, and mops.  Wonderfully made, the came is fast paced and zany.  Headshots of course are built in allow you to take out those evil looking puppets quickly.

The controls of the game are simple.  You are presented with an on screen directional pad to move forward, backward, and right and left.  You attack by pressing the attack button on the right corner of the screen.  You can aim by using your dragging your finger across the screen to move your crosshairs onto the targets.  You’ll be able to toggle between a melee or ranged weapon by tapping the weapon box on the upper right corner.  Your health bar is the red bar on the upper left corner of the screen; when the red runs out, you’re effectively dead.  You’ll go against jumping puppets, time bomb puppets and more!  In the beginning you only deal with puppets who are just like the borg – don’t let them touch you!  Else they’ll effectively eat you alive.

After each level out of endless levels, you’ll get to go to the workshop where you can spend your hard earned cash on new armaments.  So far, I’ve played only the first seven levels of a complimentary reviewer’s copy before I finally died thanks to a bunch of green puppets hurling ranged weapons at me.  I’m thoroughly enjoying the game.  I know I’d like to see more development into this title already – perhaps a co-op mode over bluetooth or wi-fi?  Or what about death match?  For a limited time, this fun action packed FPS is available for only $2.00 – 30% off the regular price.  Beautifully made, I would recommend this game if you are in for a laugh while you want to dish out some lead to satisfy those periods between class where you can’t quite get to a full fledged computer to play some counterstrike.  What are you waiting for?  Go mop up those puppets!
