Swim Out iPhone App Review
Swim Out for iPhone is a strategic, turn based puzzle game set in a swimming pool. In the game your objective is to guide your blue capped swimmer across the pool without interfering with the red cap swimmers. What makes the game interesting is that it expands beyond the confines of the swimming pool, involving different watercrafts as well. You can get the game for $2.99 from iTunes.
What is it about?
Swim Out for iPhone will transport you into a sunny day by the swimming pool, the river or the sea. You got to plan your strokes wisely, and take care not to cross the path of other swimmers. The game features 12 different types of swimmers: each with their own way of moving around, ranging from the simple breaststroke swimmers to the more complex divers or cheeky water-bombing kids. Apart from hostile swimmers, you got to watch out for disruptive environmental elements (six of them) like waves, crabs or jellyfish that will give your brain a work out until you swim out. You also got to encounter 12 different objects to interact with including buoys, fins, and water guns. You don’t have to worry that you might finish the game anytime soon. It comes with over 100 levels nestled in carefully crafted landscapes, soothed by the sound of seagulls, frogs or water splashes. At one point, you even got to ride a kayak. So it is fun unlimited.
The graphics looks nice. The aerial view gives players a better perspective of the swimming pool. The controls are intuitive as well. At times, you might get stuck at a level with multiple pools. But when you lose, you restart automatically from the last pool you were in. Use the restart button if you want to restart from the very beginning of the level. Performance wise, the game is largely stable.
