iBomber Review: Arcade Style Bomber Game

 iBomber provides a very satisfying and entertaining gameplay scenario with intuitive controls. as with other aircraft based games, you don’t have to concentrate too much on the flight in itself. The plane doesn’t crash though you could be shot down by anti-aircraft guns from the targets themselves. The gameplay revolves around the technique of maintaining your airspeed and direction as well as dropping the bombs as the targets come into the crosshairs. The speed and direction of the aircraft is controlled by the motion sensing feature of the iPhone, which means you can control direction by tilting your device left & right and the speed by tilting it up and down. Now, most users are put off by this method of control since there are several apps out there that do a poor job of this feature, but trust me, iBomber is not one of them. Controlling the plane is a smooth and easy affair, you just have to keep your eyes peeled for target coming up and the anti-aircraft guns which can rapidly reduce you health if you fly low and get shot often. There are always health packs and bonus bombs that can be picked up upon successfully destroying a target, which are necessary for survival in this game. The interface that the game provides is very well designed and the graphics is pretty impressive. Love the look of the vintage radar screen and “bombs away” button which brings the gameplay to the 1943 period. Bonus bombs appear on the screen as and when a target has been successfully taken out, they can be picked up by tapping on them.
