What do you get when you cross line drawing with a pack of hungry lions? Lion Pride [App Store], of course. As OpenFeint’s free game of the day, you really don’t want to miss this strange warthog munching simulator.
From our review:
The premise of the game is simple, you control a pack of lions and need to gather food for the rest of your pride. Thankfully, in this corner of the African savanna there seems to be a constant stream of warthogs, gazelles, and other beasts to munch on. Similar to Draw Race, you control the speed of the lions by how fast you draw lines from them on screen. Sneaking up on animals is important to keep them from running off, so you start by moving your lions slowly, then quickly go in for the kill. If something starts to get away, tapping twice on them will briefly stun them.
As you get further in to the game, you get more lions to control and tougher prey which needs to be attacked by multiple lions in order to be brought down. Lions need to be positioned to work as a team to all strike at once, and if any wandering hyenas come on screen they need to be scared off to prevent them from disrupting your food supply.
I really liked Lion Pride when we first took a look at it, and since then they’ve added additional game modes and all kinds of OpenFeint functionality to give the game tons of replay value through achievements and friends challenges. There’s even fun facts about lions in game, how can you go wrong?
