Monday (Thursday) Plays

Bloop is a game that was featured at IndieCade East, which is why I actually am able to talk about an apple app. Bloop is a multiplayer game (up to 4 players, either every man for himself or teams of 2). Each player is assigned a color, and the object of the game is to tap on your color square whenever it appears. This means that you will be touching everybody’s hands quite a bit. The description of the app on the iTunes store is “WARNING: HAND COLLISION IMMINENT.” And you can’t just tap everywhere, because it’s really easy to give points to somebody else that way. I thought it was interesting to see a local iPad game that allows 4 people to play on it at once. Another strategy would be to shove someone else’s hand away, or bump them so they press the wrong square. It’s really fast paced so that might be hard to pull off.
