FiveADay

FiveADay didn't grab me the same way that earlier Llamasoft games have, and somehow the subject matter feels more corny than wacky. Still it is a Llamasoft game, and as such has a high level of appeal to me both as a gamer and as a person with interest in game design. And I can't help but laugh at the messages between levels, as those are hilarious and changes depending on your performance.

Another crazed, retro blast from the mind of Jeff Minter, FiveADay is a little tricky to get to grips with, but once it clicks it's hilarious fun.

The overall feel and pacing of the game -- a bit more relaxed than the typical shooter out there -- combined with the ethereal audio stylings deliver an experience that might come across as a bit of an oddity to the typical gamer as compared to most of his other iOS releases, or certainly most other shooters out there.

Those seeking a healthy eating plan are advised to look elsewhere: this is more likely to encourage consumption of hallucinogens than fruit and vegetables.
