Is It Any Good?
For kids who enjoy tap-to-jump games, this is a great bargain. The colorful scenery and creative challenges make playing really enjoyable. The music and sound effects enhance this magical world, in an almost retro way, reminiscent of "Yellow Submarine." There are also several elements of gameplay that keep things interesting, such as maintaining enough fuel, flying in loops, and smashing clouds during "frenzies." Eventually, the game can get repetitive, but kids will enjoy trying to win the creative achievements. If you want to track the achievements, just make sure to pay close attention to the privacy controls within Game Center.
