As the game progresses, the customers become harder to please, appear more frequently, request different drinks, move faster and get pushed back shorter distances.

Classic remake + Don Bluth = instawin!!! KoolKing Well-Known Member May 17, 2010 309 0 0 Valrico, FL #3 KoolKing, Mar 16, 2011 Game Impressions Initial Impressions (from the iPad version) Quite a fun update of the classic arcade game. There are both a "story" campaign as well as endless modes with a good number of different locations/backgrounds. You can gain upgrades and powerups (freeze time, extra life, etc) as you go along. Two different player characters to choose from, although I haven't tried the female one yet so I don't know if it is purely a cosmetic change. Controls are a choice between either direct touch or virtual d-pad, and you can pause and change mid-game. Both work well but I found the d-pad gave more of a classic feel to the game. There also seems to be a few mini games that pop up during the campaign and can also be played on their own. Leaderboards and achievements through GameCenter. The Don Bluth animations are very well done. There is no classic mode, as far as I can tell, unfortunately. It would have been a great unlockable. If you are a fan of the original, this is well worth the asking price. Creepshow Well-Known Member Feb 10, 2011 1,334 0 36 #4 Creepshow, Mar 16, 2011 Nice summary, quite right on the wrap-up. The daughter is simply a cosmetic change, offering some eye candy. Although I totally agree and would usually complain about not having the unlockable true arcade mode in it, I feel this remake was done so well and the price is so perfect, there's really no reason for me to gripe. I'm so happy Don Bluth blessed this remake, it looks stellar on iPhone4!

I was thinking on monday on itunes it prompted me to install the latest OS update so i wonder if thats affected it. Software version 4.3 updated on monday. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #11 psj3809, Mar 16, 2011 Damn didnt work, was hoping that was the issue. I de-installed the game, installed it again. Did a soft reset and the screen after the Warner logo where it has both bartenders theyre against a diagonal purple/black background. Reckon it must be the Apple update which i did on monday on my ipod. Everything else works perfectly (Also bought Operation WOw this morning) but this is the only game i'm having issues with. Frustrating.

Sunny South FL!! #17 nesio718, Mar 16, 2011 im with gabrien. this game must be super retina for that file size. not my kind of game anyways..... psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,966 718 113 England #18 psj3809, Mar 16, 2011 Iphone 4 seems okay. I've got an ipod touch 64 gig and had the latest Apple firmware update on monday. Someone else left a scathing review on itunes (wasnt me) at the app store so it looks like i'm not the only one with this issue. I'm not giving it 1/5 stars 'yet' as i'm hoping there'll be a patch. THese things happen but still very frustrating it got through testing and everything only for these major issues to appear for some users Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #19 Gabrien, Mar 16, 2011 It's just the last time I took a swing back, I got such indignation one would think you hadn't tried to provoke me on at least three previous occasions. But if we're going to be friends now and can joke around with each other and stuff, that's cool too. Thanks for letting me know! Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #20 Gabrien, Mar 16, 2011 Game Impressions By the way, I did try the game; no technical issues here, the game's ok in a casual kind of way. I'd keep this on my device for an occasional go if it were around 30 mb or under, but at 151 (compressed? no idea so maybe more) it clearly isn't pulling its weight. No idea what could be bloating it to that extent either. If file size isn't an issue for you, this is good value for $1 so long as you enjoy retro-style gameplay (think: "Game & Watch: Evolved") dressed up in shiny new graphics.
