It’s a good game mechanic, but it’s the wrong one for Rovio’s 2nd big title. Puzzle games just aren’t as sticky on mobile (fast pick up and play) as twitch games. It might be a great game and the few who play it might love it… but for the majority of people, the engagement times are going to be far lower, frequency of play will be lower, and it will be labelled a failure. I am happy that Rovio is moving beyond Angry Birds, though.. I think that license is quickly becoming stale.

I think this video is awesome, but NASA already had me on their side. I hope they keep making videos but figure out a way to make space exploration worthy to all stakeholders. It’s one thing to constantly rail against the pessimists in the world but another to win them over. I don’t know what the answer is, but how to get NASA detractors to support funding space exploration should be NASA’s big challenge. I know their goals are right, but beig right isn’t enough to make exploration happen.

I appreciate the developer liking Metro, but this is copying a little too closely. I like having options on my iPad and I’ll give this a try, but I do wish their designer was able to take inspiration without ripping off so blatantly. It takes time for people to explore and come up with their own designs for icons, panels, etc…. It’s plagiarism, plain and simple (not unlike Samsung’s microphone icon on their newly introduced Samiri or iVoiceS or whatever).
