On Kroll, I got it a few weeks ago and although the gameplay is simple, it's pretty much fun for a mindless beat'em-up what a shame I didn't get it for a buck! I show off with my friends now that I've unlocked all the boss battles it does show what this phone can do! the big problem and these guys needed to fix is that if the giant kills you, apart that I want more lives! you have to start again at the end of the level and dont' want to have to run all the 3 levels again, that's very disappointing. But now with everything unlocked looks awesome! For a buck is great value for money but hope the guys update it... hey! someone mentioned that Underworlds will be at 0,99 for 24h only.... but in fact it still sells for 0,99, so I'm gonna get it right now!

I was a casual fan of Diablo. Underworlds is good. At first, I thought the view was too zoomed out, with the character looking too small, but then I think that if it were more zoomed in, you wouldn't be able to see enough of the dungeon at one time. So I think it's ok as is. I started out touch where I wanted to go, but now have started using the directional pad, and I actually like it better. One thing that seems unnecessary and annoying is the ability to snuff out torches. I did this accidentally a lot when I was touching where I wanted to go, and all it does is turn out the lights in that area, but I don't see how this could be useful to a player, and it's pretty annoying to keep doing it accidentally. I'd suggest the game author remove that feature. Picked up Underworlds for 99 cents. I was a casual fan of Diablo. Underworlds is good.

Terrible Controls. Most people that paid more than 99c for this game are in denial. The Creeps: Probably the most enjoyable out of all these. Gemmed: Never played it. Looks ok. Kroll: Paid $8 when it first came out. My first impressions were great until I found out all I'll be doing is swinging a mace throughout the whole game. Game is too short. Worth the 99c asking price now. Underworlds: Game is kinda ugly. Terrible Controls. Most people that paid more than 99c for this game are in denial.

The WWDC video showed jumping, somersaults, sliding on ropes, none of which made it into the game. The could have added all of this, more levels, more varied monsters to fight (like the flying one in the WWDC video - was that in the game? I don't remember). For the record, I paid full price for Kroll too, and I had fun with it, but DL didn't deliver on it's promises. They seemed to rush the game to market to make the promised September date (strangely their website still calls it an "upcoming" game). They could've added the other features later, as have many other games, but they didn't. Just disappointing. Well, "feature complete" except for the features that were left out.
