Is It Any Good?
STORM IN A TEACUP is a good game, but it falls a bit short of being great -- though it's hard to say why. The app has a very unique look, like something from a child's imagination, and has plenty of good puzzles to solve and items to find. Perhaps what's missing is the lack of a story tying things together. There's a narrative on the iTunes store page, but nothing's built into the game. While Storm, the teacup-riding hero of the game, will charm you, there's never a real emotional connection with him, so you don't feel a sense of loss when you fail. That said, the controls respond wonderfully, an essential quality in an arcade game, and you may find yourself playing for long stretches without realizing it. For 99 cents, it's a no-brainer.
