1st Impressions

Eggbot’s Irish Adventure, another TileStorm game, has just hit the iTunes store and, with St. Patrick’s day just around the corner, it is not a day too soon.

Developed by Andrew Cakebread, one of the nicest developers I have had the pleasure of dealing with ( even if he is English…LOL), Eggbot’s latest adventure takes him to Ireland where he strives to make his way through all 32 counties in Ireland. Along the way you need to help him attempt to earn his fortune by gathering all 1,000 gold coins, each of which is worth an Open Feint achievement point as well.

While this sequel only has 32 levels vs. the 100 levels in TileStorm, the difference is that many of these levels contain multiple puzzles as well as multiple types of puzzles.

The graphics are nothing to sneeze at either. Not only are they in colorful 3D but residents, fans, or even previous vacationers to Ireland will recognize many of the lankmarks portrayed in various counties including the Blarny Castle, thr Spire of Dublin, and the Giants Causeway in County Antrim.

After spending some time with the game about the only suggestion I can make that might make the game more playable (especially for old folks like me with poor eyesight) would be to make the moveable tiles a little more distinguishable from the surrounding landscape so that they are more easily discernible from the landscape around it.

Eggbot’s Irish Adventure is available in iTunes for only $0.99. If you like it as much as I do than you won’t hesitate to grab a copy of TileStorm at the same price as well.
