iOS Freebie Alert: Knitted Deer

On 07/21/2013 at 08:58 AM by daftman

The App Store is drowning in runners, so any new game in that genre needs to do something to stand out from the crowd. Knitted Deer does that with its aesthetic. It's like one of the dreaded Christmas sweaters come to life. I can't tell you anymore than what I've heard about it since I just downloaded it myself, but here's a review. Sounds like a good time waster and I'll try just about anything for free. The price dropped from 99 cents to free just this morning, and no telling how long it will last either. So give it a quick try before the developers change their minds. I bet you've never played a knitted game before!

I downloaded it and played it for about 5 minutes. I did really like how the game looks, I just am not the biggest fan of auto-runners.

I haven't played many but I can see their off-putting potential. I played one called Polara that used a dual color system similar to Ikaruga to make some really cool platforming challenges. Plus it had distinct levels. That game was a lot of fun.

But this one, yeah, it's very unforgiving. Not much depth to it. Cool graphics though.

The only auto-runner I ever played was called I Must Run! Awesome name right? You played as a convict that just escaped prison lol. I think I bought it simply because of that premise.

I've never heard of that one but the App Store is drowning in runners lol. Serious genre oversaturation.

Don't think I'd dare try to sell this to MysticalMist. Though she has an iOS device, she actually does knit. She'd probably be wonderin why I told her of this game when she knits in real life.
