Freddy : The Frog with the Physics on Windows Phone
Not only Windows Phone store is getting new games based on unity engine more often but it seems there are many developers who are not making it first to Windows Phone platform than to others. While we get the idea that most of these did participated into several contests that was pushed for Windows Phone but what is keep us impressed is the quality.
One of the recent entry is a Physics based Arcade game–Freddy–where you need to keep a frog alive by bouncing the chemical balls into right jar and not letting the frog eat it. I found it better compared to Where is my Water series though it’s a bit different game play but its physic nevertheless.
Game Play :
This is fairly simple. Poisonous chemical balls are dropping from the funnel on the top and you need to draw a line to bounce them into their respective color jars. If they drop, the frog eats it and dies when the pressure rises. It starts with one ball and one jar of the same color which is fun till the count increases and you have more jars and more balls to handle.
While they don’t fall very fast, drawing the line in right angle is what makes the difference. You can draw one line after other but there will be only one line as the last one vanishes. So if you miss them on first chance, you can draw another to bounce them back but by that time, another will be in the line.
As the level increases, the funnel at the top starts moving adding confusion on where to draw line if you had realized drawing at one place is doing the trick when the funnel was fixed. To make sure that the game doesn’t get one-sided, you get timers, pressure releases and so on to buy some time.

While I haven’t played the complete game, the trial version is good enough to give you a clear game experience if you would want to spend a dollar on it. The game is now in beta and the pricing is actually beta pricing which means its going to increase once released. Seems the gamers have found a great way to letting users beta test their apps and games by getting high priced game on low price by testing it out. Honestly, its worth it.
