iPhone App: Brave Man
= 3 stars
Pixel-cartoony version of the “five finger fillet” game, where you bounce a knife between fingers and try not to stab anything.
The Good
- Super simple gameplay: tap the screen to drop the knife as it moves from side to side. Earn bonus points for hitting gaps in sequence.
- The pixely, retro graphics prove highly amusing — small lines appear on fingers after near misses. Chop a finger and see the amusing reaction from bearded Brave Man.
The Bad
- Almost too simple; more of a novelty than a game with any attempt at longevity.
Conclusion
Amusing diversion, certainly the type of game you’ll show to friends — but there’s a good chance they’ll chuckle not at the app, but your misguided purchase.
