Is It Any Good?
There's not much to UP WITH A FISH -- you just keep catching things onto an increasingly large, precariously balanced pile of junk -- but it's bizarrely exhilarating and a whole lot of fun. The idea of taking the made-up game that the Cat in the Hat plays in his book and turning it into a mobile app is pretty brilliant. It's the perfect kind of game for an iPhone, played by simply tilting the device back and forth. Up with a Fish is proof that incredibly simple games can still be amazing fun when they're produced as a quality app.
