Storm in a Teacup

Highly recommended to any fan of platformer games I just found this game and love it

Two words sum up this game: charming & addictive. The art style is really reminiscent of LittleBigPlanet and the gameplay is almost as simplistic. Though the overall gameplay is decidedly different. The premise is your character is in a tea cup and you have to jump to get from platform to platform while collecting sugar cubes and avoiding deadly traps. I haven't quite figured out what the overall story is but that hasn't hindered this game at all for me. My only complaint is that it's too short. I made it through all 40 levels in just a few hours. If this had more levels and maybe even a level editor and server to upload user-made levels, I could see this game becoming the iOS version of LBP. Very nicely done but I wish there was more to it.

This game takes a few components of Little Big Planet and rolls them up into an app for the iPhone. Level design is composed of "stickers" and quirky machinations, which you can collect the stickers throughout the game to customize your character. The way your character dies is reminiscent of SackBoy biting the dust, and level components explode in a similar manner as LBP's recurring obstacles. Even level completion is akin to LBP. With all the likenesses between the two, this is still a solid game that stands firmly on its own two feet. The platforming is simple to grasp, the level designs can be challenging, and the controls leave nothing to be desired. Definitely worthwhile!

Best platformer I've played on ios yet. Don't let the cutesy graphics fool you, this gets pretty challenging. Good controls and nicely designed levels. The mechanics are a bit different than a standard platformer, so don't let that throw you off if it feels weird at first. It's worth getting used to. Finished all 40 regular levels, the 10 bonus levels, and the challenge levels. There are endless "survival" levels too but they seemed kind of pointless. It's not super short, especially if you collect all the sugar cubes and find the hidden stickers, but it's not super long either and I'd love new levels.

The only times I put this game down was when I had a work deadline to meet, the baby was crying, or I just needed to figure out a new strategy after dying for the 87th time against those 4 cannons and barrels on the last level! This is the most fun I've had playing a platformer on iOS. Chillingo understands the limitations of the device and uses a simple control scheme. That is what I believe to be one of the keys to an iOS game's success -- KISS on the controls. It's why even a complex and beautiful game like Mirror's Edge worked so well. I only have two complaints about this game: 1) I need more levels yesterday! 2) There is an achievement for playing the credits level, but I can't find that level. I have every other achievement (14/15) and so I would think I would have run into the credit's level by now... Love it!
