Burn the Corn Review

On January 15, 2013

Ahoy, me mateys! It’s me again, your favorite pirate app, back for another great game that I found from sailing on the seven seas.

Popcorns are me favorite since I was a little kid. My mom would always have some prepared for me when I get home from school. Aye, this brave pirate also went to school like ye lads. Now that I’m a full grown pirate, I’m the one who cooks popcorn in our ship for all me buddies. My parrot pet loves them too. Burn the Corn is a game app that I play on my gadget when we’re out of kernels to pop. We have to wait until our next vacation on land before we can spend our booties to get kernels to pop while sailing. Playing the game keeps me from missing my favorite popcorns.

The Game Play

 This is one of the newest game app ideas around. Most of the apps revolve around slicing fruits and bombing enemies. This one would let you pop the kernels to turn them into popcorns. Aye, your finger will serve like a magic wand (fire wand that is) popping the kernels with a single tap. There are various levels to complete on the game. Each level will have 10 waves of kernels to pop. The number of kernels increases on each wave, which makes the game more challenging. Furthermore, the Evil Moisture and its Water Babies will make it difficult for you to clear the stage. Tapping on them will cool down your magic finger, making it impossible for you to pop the kernels. Aaarrggghhh! I would always accidentally touch those water babies when I was just starting to play the game. But they do not bother me anymore, as I am now the best pirate in the ship, when it comes to playing the game.

But don’t worry much about these evil enemies because you will not battle them on your own. Ye buccaneers will get help from the Time Wizard and Flame Warrior. The Time Wizard will slow the kernels from falling down giving you more time to pop them. The Flame Warrior will intensify the flame on your finger allowing you to pop more kernels in one swipe. More elements would be included on the game as you level up and unlock the other stages.

There are 3 game modes to choose from that include Arcade, Burnout and Survival. The Arcade mode is the basic game play in which the kernels will be tossed out and ye have to use your finger to pop them. This is the mode where you level up and unlock other stages. In the Burnout mode, you need to tap on the popped corns to prevent them from burning and falling. Burnt and fallen corns will lose you some points. The survival mode will let you pop kernels as long as you can.

The Good

Aside from the fact that this is a new idea compared to the usual game apps available, the graphics of the game is excellent. The background and characters are way too cute with vivid colors making it more fun. The exciting sound when the kernels are tossed and when they pop is also a good thing. The different stages to unlock and game modes to play make the game more challenging.

The Bad

Like most apps, its repetitive game play can get boring after some time. This is generally a good past time when there’s nothing else to do. Also, the game tutorial would always show up when ye start the game. Aye, unless you disable this option by tapping the question mark icon on the main window of the game, ye buckos will be frustrated having to watch it over again.

Speak your mind
