Have a whale of a time whilst your on the go.
User Rating: 7 | Whale Trail IOS
Whale Trail is one of those iPhone games that comes along every so often and just makes you smile. Created by ustwo and its crazy founders (see their website for clarification) they set out to create a game that would revolutionize the industry, their words. They haven't exactly lived up to those sorts of claims but the game is incredibly fun and to use a iOS buzz word: addictive. When you first upload the game onto your phone a little story board plays out explaining exactly how a whale has come to find himself flying through the clouds away from a evil monster and from there on in it is up to you to touch the screen to elevate him and let go to allow him to fall down a'la Jetpack Joyride. The difference in gameplay here is the whale has only a set amount of power to enable him to soar through the sky and this depletes quite quickly unless you guide him over the magic bubbles which are laid out in front of you. There are also magic stars every so often which will give you a brief unlimited power boost as long as you collect enough of them. This become ever more vital as the further you get through the game the more obstacles are thrown in front of you to try and end your flight. The graphics are utterly charming and look stunning on the iPhone 4's retina screen harking back to a simpler time when gorgeous cartoon artwork was all the rage. One last thing to add is the studio had a specific song made to accompany the game and although a little repetitive after a while its a nice little song/tune which does enrich the whole gaming experience. Whale Trail is certainly worth the price tag and you will find your self going back to it time and time again to try and beat your previous high score set by you or your Game Center friends.
