OWC Chris\u2019s Review<\/h3>\n

Remember those \u201cWhere\u2019s Waldo?<\/a>\u201d books where you\u2019d look for the guy in the bobble hat and glasses amongst a crowd of people? In the back of the books there\u2019d be a list of other things to find that the artists snuck in there. Time Geeks is kind of like that.\u00a0The basic game is free, with other options being made available through in-app purchase. Being the cheapskate I am, I just went with the free option.<\/p>\n

Using that \u201cisometric projection\u201d pixel art best known from late 1990\u2019s video games and artwork from eBoy<\/a>,\u00a0it\u2019s got a bit of a \u201cretro\u201d feel and they\u2019ve liberally sprinkled pop culture references in each scene to make it kind of humorous. Those two make Time Geeks at least fun to look at.<\/div>\n

Gameplay is pretty simple – they show you a picture of the character you\u2019re looking for and you have to find where it has been randomly placed within the scene before the timer runs out. About halfway through each scene, there\u2019s a special \u201cbonus.\u201d Sometimes it\u2019s an expansion pack for the \u201cmake your own island\u201d feature and sometimes it’s a small minigame having to do with the scene you\u2019re in. Unfortunately, I found both of those options somewhat lackluster when compared to the rest of the game, so they wound up being more of a distraction than anything.<\/p>\n

That, however, is the only real downside to this app. The puzzles range from fairly simple to fiendishly difficult and the random placement of the objects you\u2019re looking for gives the game excellent replay value.<\/p>\n

I tried both the regular version<\/a> (on my iPod Touch) and the HD version<\/a> (on my iPad), and game play is pretty much the same between the two. However, I did find playing on the iPad a bit easier, as I could take in more of a scene at a time without scrolling.<\/p>\n

Final Verdict: <\/strong>Fun, simple game with a lot of replay value. It\u2019s a keeper!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
