REVIEW
Jupiter Moon is a brand new studio on the scene and their first offering is an iPad game called Bunny Popper!
In the likes of run away hits like Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja, Bunny Popper is a simple game with really fun, yet at time intense gameplay. The game is in the name. You, the player, need to protect your carrots from this evil space bunny. To acquire the carrots, the evil space bunny launches different varieties of rabbits (bunnies) at you. Your objective is to “POP” all the bunnies!
The first thing that jumped out at me was the music. It’s absolutely fitting for the game but I found myself wondering if “Dueling Banjos” was going to make an appearance. Game menu’s easy to understand. The developers basically let you physically tap on each item/character to find out what it does (it’s an iPad game…contact is the name of the game). This is really elementary, yet not all devs employ such a strategy. This allows the player to interact and connect with the game on such a basic level.
There are twenty total levels of gameplay and sixteen unlockable rewards. As each level progresses, you’ll be provided help in the form of stars, cats, dogs and Easter eggs. The intensity really gets cranked up as you start approaching level 7 onwards. Honestly I felt like I was playing “Horde Mode” in Gears of War at one point! You just get bombarded with hordes of bunnies just coming at you and you really need to strategies and multi task well to get through the rounds. I tend to get really competitive and almost threw my iPad on several occasions as I’d failed the level only to find out I was a couple of bunnies left to completing, which speaks well for the game.
All in all, Bunny Popper is a really fun and interactive game that utilizes simple gameplay to deliver boat loads of fun and enjoyment, all for the low low price of $0.99 in the Apple App Store. If you’re a fan of Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, you’ll love Bunny Popper!
