This app is a simple “dodge-em” game which utilizes the iPhone’s accelerometer.  The game is played on landscape mode and the penguin moves side to side whether you are tilting the iPhone left or right.  At first the tilting motion is hard to get used to because precision is the key in this game.  However, once you get that down this game becomes very addicting.

You play the penguin as you slide across the snowy landscape.  The object of the game is to avoid the falling icicles as long as possible; your score depends on the time you are alive.  There are certain power ups/downs which are represented as snowflakes which fall along with the icicles.  The power ups are the blue flakes which give you 250 points and the green flakes which give you more speed.  The power downs are the red flakes which take away 250 points and the yellow flakes which slow you down.

In conclusion, this is a great game which I became addicted to fairly quickly.  The graphics are superb and the utilization of the accelerometer in the iPhone makes the game all the more enjoyable.  The only suggestion I would make is maybe a high score board since the game does not have one and some fun sounds or music.
