Aqua Forest

The iPhone touch control and accelerometer enable the iPhone to support many innovative game designs. One app that I didn’t quite understand at first, but uses the iPhone great features is an app called Aqua Forest.

Aqua Forest is part puzzle game and a part free-form creative tool. Using, what they call, a unique physics engine, Aqua Forest actually mimics how water, solids, and gases behave and simulates the actions of objects with different physical characteristics.

This app reminds me of something that I stumbled upon using StumbleUpon, but involved fire. Very interesting and somewhat addicting. Aqua Forest has a built in set of painting tools that lets you create a number of interesting effects.

This app is on my “boredom section” page on my iPhone and it is really neat once you know what you are doing. If you are into showing your friends just what the iPhone an do, this is one app you should show them.

Price:
$7.99

Pros:
Very fascinating
Tests most of the iPhone cool built-in features
Physics engine is realistic

Cons:
Expensive for what it does
Graphics seem blurry to me. Maybe that is just me…
Needs more backgrounds

  1. Yeah, I was disappointed in this app simply because of the dodgy graphics. It just cheapens it so much. Couldn’t stand to look at it.
