Sharp Things and Fluffy Things

Basically, this is a little round-up of interesting iOS games I encountered in the last days.

Thanks to Ars Technica, I've found this little, pretty mean gem of an iOS game called Slice HD:

Apparently, people tend to physically flinch when those virtual knives stab at you:

The video shows the entirety of the game's concept: you manipulate knives, stabbing instruments, and razors in order to hit the red button. Sometimes the objects move in ways you don't expect, and in other levels moving one piece triggers something else. It's nerve-wracking, and if you have a fear of blood or sharp objects, this is going to turn you into a shaking wreck.

Ouch!

So maybe, to calm your nerves, you might want to consider Tiny Wings, which has cute, fluffy bird in cute, fluffy landscapes in fluffy colours.

Found thanks to Geri Oester at the local game designer's meeting. Tiny Wings is for the iPhone, while Slide HD works on the iPad. Damn. I want one of those things.
