Welcome to the weekly iPhone Quality Index (Qi) games round-up, giving you the LOWdown on the HIGH scorers every Friday on these illustrious pages.
As you may already know, Qi trawls the web for iPhone game reviews from the worlds most respected online and print sources.
Qi then applies its own magic formula to each site (including 148Apps, Macworld, and Tapscape) to establish a single definitive Qi score for each iPhone app and game.
The Spy Who Loved Brie
Moving stealthily through the Qi ranks into the runner-up spot with a mouth-watering 9.4 rating from three reviews comes Spy Mouse, Firemints long-awaited follow-up to its top-ranked game of 2010 Real Racing 2.
The names Squeak, Agent Squeak. His mission is to liberate the cunningly placed cheddar from each of the 70-odd levels - divided into six unique worlds - while escaping the attentions of the nearby cat patrol.
Its no super secret that Spy Mouse will test both your line-drawing chops and your strategic nous to the max, as 148Apps is at pains to point out: Completing a level is all fine and dandy, but getting all three ribbons (which thankfully dont have to be earned all in one go) takes some doing.
Blast from the past
Not content with producing one of the highest-rated puzzlers in Qi history in iBlast Moki, Godzilab returns to the App Store with another terrific trajectory-based puzzle game up its well-tailored sleeve.
In iBlast Moki 2, as before, you have to propel Moki from one side of the touchscreen towards a magical spiral at the other, utilising all manner of wacky contraptions, including rising balloons, cacti, rotating wheels, and a trio of new paint bombs.
Once youve explored and, indeed, clocked the 90 levels iBlast Moki 2 has to offer, you can always create your own via the advanced physics editor. Oh, and then share them online to the delight/dismay of manipulators worldwide.
Balls deep
And Qis prize for the least imaginative moniker of the month goes to Edward DiNola, whose casual iPhone shoot-em-up A Game With Balls really ought to be renamed A Game With Balls AND Cannons, since its the latter you have to protect.
Gamezebos biggest baller was won over regardless of the vague appellation, writing in his conclusion: From the simple, approachable, and ultimately incredibly fun gameplay, to the leaderboards, points system, and easy-to-access social elements
a remarkable application that is a must-buy for gamers on the go.
