Mardi Gras Madness!

iPhone and iPad News and Reviews — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:50:29 +0000

It’s never too early to get excited about Mardi Gras, and with Fat Tuesday right around the corner (February 16th to be exact), what better way to get in the Mardi Gras mood than with a fun app. Though Mardi Gras apps are already in existence, the first ever Mardi Gras game for the iPhone has just been released, and is conveniently titled Mardi Gras!. The game, a product of Impiger Technologies, enables the players to toss festive Mardi Gras souvenirs (e.g. coins, bead necklaces, rings, and footballs) at the partying crowd who is enjoying a Mardi Gras parade. The goal is to toss the items to targets by flicking your finger into the crowd; when you successfully throw to a target, you gain points and the crowd goes wild. Extra points are rewarded if you comply with peoples requests. However, this is all easier said than done and takes a lot of finger-eye coordination; oftentimes, when the target is missed, the crowd gets angry and points are deducted. Ultimately though, as long as you keep the crowd happy, you get to keep playing and enjoying the Mardi Gras spirit, and everyone wins. If nothing else, the graphics, colors, and sounds of the game are enough to get you excited, but, in its simplicity, Mardi Gras! is also a fun way to kill time in your countdown to the main event.
