iPhone App: Hotdog Panic
= 4 stars
Hungry customer wants hot dogs with ketchup.
The Good
- Retro pixely graphics.
- Super simple gameplay. Two co-workers send hot dogs down a conveyor belt, toward a hungry customer who hates mustard. When hot dogs laden with mustard pass before your character, tap the screen to grab and toss them away. Your task is to let the ketchup hot dogs through and toss the mustard ones. That’s it.
- Long list of (unintentionally?) funny elements: Co-workers continue making mustard hotdogs when they clearly aren’t wanted — they should just — stop with the mustard. What happens to the hot dogs tossed on the floor? The customer has an endless, voracious appetite, and never gains any weight. Will he ever settle the bill? What does the letter “P” on your hat stand for?
The Bad
- Wanted more variety after a few go-rounds.
- Don’t believe there’s any way to win.
Conclusion
A completely retarded, simplistic app. But because it’s so odd, I can’t stop playing. Recommended.
