Thrusty Tubes (FREE)

Although there are some people who will lazily compare this to a certain flapping bird game, this couldn't be any more different. The controls allow the player to tilt and thrust allowing a great degree of control and a much different playing style. TCKSoft have cleverly deconstructed the essential core mechanic and have kept it cleverly balanced between infuriating and challenging whilst injecting their own additions to the formula..such as moving pipes and allowing the player so move around the screen. The graphical style is also unique, harking back to 70s era Lunar Lander whilst mixing in a B/W art-house film feel to the graphics to make the playing atmosphere more strangely threatening and claustrophobic. A addictive little mobile game you'll spend hours playing and I can recommend spending the single pound to get the ad-free version. This for me ranks just behind Jumping Jack and Hunt the Wumpus for mobile perfection from TCKsoft, and a winner to start 2014 on. :)

.. because I'm too old to play this kind of game! Back when I were a nipper and t'streets were cobbled and milk was delivered in bottles, I could probably have the skills and necessary patience to get past a third column. If you have any form of expensive tablet or smartphone, I suggest you make sure your insurance cover is paid up .. or only play this game when inside a padded cell! If you enjoy tortuous levels of difficulty then get this game .. it's not for mere gaming mortals! :-)

Reminds me of the stresses of Gravitar end-levels, the city zone of Scramble and many other games that I stuck with even though they were so tough. Love it and love the black and white style.

A retro take on that awful flappy game, but this version is a lot of fun. Recommended.

Never seen a game anything like this before :) Oh, it's pretty difficult, but well put together, and quick to start a new game after inevitable failure.

Maddeningly difficult and addictive. I love the retro style. Well done!
