THE STORM IS FINALLY HERE AND ITS SO DARN CUTE!

I have been waiting for this game for sooooo long once I first heard about it on their website almost a year ago and I must say its even better than I expected. First of all Im blown away that this game is only 99 cents and this is for the iPhone,iPod and iPad. Now that right there is a great reason to pick this game up. If you want more you know its a great game if Chillingo and Cobra Mobile are behind it, it has tons of levels and the gameplay is simply stunning. As you would expect from veteran mobile developer Cobra Mobile, Storm in a Teacup is visually impressive. The backgrounds are packed with detail, and the levels ooze charm and style in equal measure. Truth be told, it is quite easy to take your eyes of the main character just to look around you, resulting in an untimely death. While Storm in a Teacup is undeniably a platformer, Cobra recognises touch controls are far from suitable for tricky games. For this reason, the main character doesnt jump, it glides for a second or so, which is much more forgiving. Timing is still essential for surviving the later tricky moments but it ensures you will be blaming yourself for mistakes, not the iPad. To keep things interesting there are various items to collect, and most will take some finding. You dont need to complete them to progress but if you come back there is more to see. Aside from jumping your way through the game, there are random mini-games dotted about. Shooting targets with a cannon, finding keys to open doors and more attempt to keep you from tiring of the core gameplay. Not that you should, as although the theme remains similiar through the games many levels, curiosity and varied backdrops keeps you hooked. It is hard not to love Storm in a Teacup. It looks and feels like a great platformer, and whilst not revolutionary, it is clear Cobra Mobile understands the platform. Simple to pick-up and easy on the eye, we find it hard to fault this magical title.

Im really looking forward to future updates with more wacky levels, characters, Game Center achievements and so much more. The iPad could have customizable controls for those with smaller fingers but overall sweet stuff. Thank you so much for this game and keep up the fantastic work!
