Every night at 12:15 AM Pacific, Amazon gives away a free paid app through their Amazon app store. As I am usually awake at 12:15 AM Pacific, why not let you know if today’s app is useful, or just more clutter in your app drawer?
Today’s free app is Flick Kick Football by Prodigy Design t/a Sidhe which usually runs for $.99. Although when it says football, it means soccer. USA! USA! USA!
You’re using the touch screen to knock balls into the goal past cardboard standups of defenders. And when I say cardboard standups, I don’t mean that they have lousy defense, it’s literally set up to look like you are playing against cardboard standups. Occasionally, they will be moving from left to right on a slot. And while my description may sound less than exhilarating, that’s because my description kind of sucks. Flick Kick Football is actually a pretty fun game. While it takes a few tries to get the kicking mechanism down, once you do, the action is fairly fast and frenetic. It also helps that the sound is top notch, pumping in stadium crowd noises. Seriously, if soccer was played like this, I might actually watch it.
[…] to judge whether or not this game sucks. Not for me, though. I think I’m going to go load up Flick Kick Football again. I find that game oddly addicting. […]
