Free App of the Week - Mr. Space!!

For my first addition of the "Free App of the Week" feature, I have chosen the simple yet highly addicting "Mr. Space!!"

The object of the game is very straightforward: you control a stick-figure-like character who you must move left or right in order for him to avoid getting crushed. Think Sonic the Hedgehog, where if you get crushed by a falling object, it's game over. There is a floor and a ceiling, the latter of which comes crashing down on you within seconds. Both the floor and ceiling have patterns which allow room for one or two holes, and you must move Mr. Space to these holes in order to survive (the patterns change every time, so it's always random where the holes will be). Each time your little pal survives, you move to the next "level", and as you advance in levels the ceiling starts to fall faster and it becomes more difficult to identify where the holes will be. Once you finally game over, you will be able to enter your level high score into the leaderboards (if you are good enough).


All in all this game is very addictive and a good time waster if you are bored and are looking for something to pass the time. It's the number one free app on iTunes right now, so I guess there are lots of people who agree with me!
