Tap Tap Rush

[Astro Forever]

Might I also point out that this site also hosts the rom of the SNES game? No different from that. But I guess that doesn't count since it was a Japan-only title, and something several decades old.

And probably hard to find and play with. And I'm only moderating the forum, not the website, over which I have never had any control.

In this case, it's current and it looks like it will be available and affordable (if it's less than 10$) to everybody who has such a phone.

Or iPod touch. I don't really care how much it is, or if people tell me it's a bad game, I'll still buy it either way.

I've watched a video of it some days ago, first time I saw actual gameplay footage of it.

My expectations on it were never high, and the footage kinda proved it to me. The game's animation and controls are awfully jerky, and I've seen worse iPod games that had smoother controls and animation. Not to mention I feel that the game tries too hard to be like Omega Factor, which is especially obvious with the addition of the Arm Cannon attack in it and how it works, even the graphic animation looks the same. Not to mention, I've never really been a person who likes to play action games with a lot of tapping required, my fingers would just constantly be in the way.

And finally, the levels are quite bland-looking.

But I do like the addition of some convos in the game, such as when Ochanomizu and Astro are conversing with each other, but since the dialogue wasn't in English, it wouldn't surprise me if it was more or less just tutorials than an actual event taking place.

I don't own my own iPod, but if the game ever gets a free demo version, I'll ask mom if she can get it on her's.

[Astro Boy2866]

Like I said, I can give you a cracked version for free when it comes out.

[Dr. Jerk]

No thank you. I'm very sure my mom won't like me messing around with her iPod anyway.

[Astro Boy2866]

If you say so, but it's not messing with it. You would download the app from a file sharing website, drag the file into to iTunes and put it on the iPhone or itouch like you would with any other app from the AppStore.

Time to buy an iTunes giftcard.

[Dr. Jerk]

Wait, so today is the 60th anniversary?

Derp.

[Astro Boy2866]

I dunno, I thought it was on April 7

I'm happy it came out earlier than I expected

[Dr. Jerk]

Ironically though, I think this year is supposed to be the anniversary of Captain Atom...(Manga which predated, but later lead to the creation of Tetsuwan Atom.)
