1st Impressions

Catagugl is a cute $0.99 game that reminds me if those Yeti and Penguin games where distance is the goal. Using a circular swinging motion demonstrated on the help video, your goal is to launch the Gugl creature as far as possible. Hitting clouds, bouncing off red balls, and deflating during flight will increase your distance. Once you set a new personal high score, you can submit it to leader boards and compare your progress with that if others.

The graphics on the game are high quality and game play mechanics something that children should be able to master with no problem. I think kids will find a lot if appeal in the game. The entertainment value for adults will likely be limited however.

I did have one issue with the game. the help video shows a build-up of your strength. I didn’t get that. I am not sure if that was due to poor game play on my part or maybe an issue with the iPhone 4…or maybe some combination of them. Either way though, this doesn’t detract from the odd sense if accomplishment one feels with setting a new high score.
