Little Acorns going nuts on Xbox Live for Windows Phone this week
iOS version
If there's ane thing we dear in the gaming partition at Windows Phone Cardinal, it's bringing our readers sectional news most upcoming Xbox Live releases. Once over again we accept the scoop on this week'southward new Xbox Live game: Petty Acorns from Chillingo.
Piffling Acorns is a traditional 2D platformer starring a squirrel who reportedly enjoys acorns. In fact, the goal of each level is to recover all of your stolen acorns and and then reach the exit. That'due south just a 'basic clear' though. To fully clear the level, you must also gather five fruits that appear later the acorns have been collected plus cease nether the speedrun time.
The fruits unlock vesture for your squirrel, and fully clearing levels as well contributes to several Xbox Live Achievements. Speaking of which, several of the Achievements have extremely vague descriptions, and so let's hope they're easy enough to figure out during gameplay.
Controls
One area of concern with mobile platformers is that of controls. With no physical d-pad or buttons to rely on, developers basically have to cull between either virtual or tilt controls. Mush recently used tilt controls quite effectively. Footling Acorns still relies on touch-screen buttons for movement and jumping. Reportedly the controls work quite well on iOS, so they shouldn't exist much of a problem on Windows Phone either.
Priced
Little Acorns comes to Microsoft's mobile platform with a disadvantage over the iPhone version, though: price. On iOS it has e'er cost 99 cents, just it will be $2.99 on Windows Telephone. The college price signal is surprising given that Chillingo's terminal game, physics puzzler Feed Me Oil launched on WP7 at 99 cents. Perhaps Feed Me Oil didn't sell in big enough numbers to justify the college cost. I continue saying we take as well many physics puzzlers on Xbox Alive…
At any rate, Piffling Acorns should provide plenty of fun when it launches on Wed, August 15. With 80 levels and three,000 acorns to find, that squirrel's going to be busy!
