iPod Apps - Glyder Review

To further open our ever increasing myriad of knowledge and opinions, we are now introducing a new category. Because we both of iPod Touch's and because it is relatively cheap to buy the Top Games (and because some are free), we're starting to review some iPod apps. Hopefully this will provide people with an idea of what they are buying before they buy it.

So, to start the ball rolling we will be doing a review on Glyder. This game was developed by a company called Glu and was posted on the 5th of April 2009. Generally speaking it hasn't made it has big as Pocket God, but it has been hovering near the top since it was released.

The game itself is very simple. The aim is to fly around and collect crystals. Unlike most games, you don't need to have a certain ammount of crystals to be able to move to any of the other areas. In terms of graphics, the game is beautiful. (See our screenshots below taken from the iPod Touch directly). The controls can be a bit jittery sometimes, but I suppose you could put that down to realism. 

Compared to some of the other apps that are currently at the top, Glyder offers people mindless fun which doesn't get tedious. It's large playable area can give hours of fun and lets people explore at their own pace. It would be better, however, if Glu would do some updates. I'm sure there is room for improvement and some tweaks wouldn't go unoticed. 

Final Thought Byte : All in all, Glyder is a 'Must Have App'. Although it is simple, it still looks pretty good. The price currently stands at 59p, but this is probably going to go up. So get it while you can.
