On My iPhone: Pangea’s Billy Frontier [review]

Where to start, where to start… ?

I found out about Billy Frontier - get this - yesterday from my friends over at What’s On iPhone. Yes, I know … I should be paying better attention to every release that comes out for the iPhone, but let’s be perfectly honest - most of it is complete and utter shite. I frankly feel like most times I spend a minute looking further into an app - its a minute wasted that I could have been doing something else. However given how much time I’ve spent on Enigmo (also from Pangea) I just had to give this a game look.

Unfortunately, sometimes this personal policy of non-time wasteage leads me to missing potential gems. This was one of them - not because its the next killer app, but because I missed out on a great price for it. PANGEA!! Drop the price back to $2.99. At $2.99 this game is solidly in the “sweet-spot” for value and impulse buying without remorse. At $2.99 its definitely a recommended buy, at $5.99 its just one more game that I would have a hard time deciding if its really worth it. For $2.99 its money well spent, for $5.99 its sort of “meh”.

Pretty harsh eh? Truth be told - I really like the game. Really I do - I spent almost 2 straight hours on it last night and a good portion of my lunch hour today. Its quite fun, but I’m really just questioning the price point.

Click on through… I got some more to say and a ton of screenshots!
