Yet, while iBomber can be treated as a fairly throwaway experience, it has depth too. Each of these has different dropping characteristics but to be honest, your infinite load of generic bombs is more than good enough to get the job done. The most useful of these are the health packs, which keep you airborne longer, but there are also three types of bomb the triple cluster Blockbuster bomb, the fast-falling Rocket bomb, and the huge Grand Slam. These will eventually knock down your health meter to zero and see you crash down to earth in a giddy death spiral.īut successfully dropping bombs on your targets - you'll have to fulfil a certain number of objectives, say destroy all aircraft carriers and 5 out of 7 command huts, to complete each mission - will result in power-ups. You can speed up and slow down by tilting forward and back.Īs you make your way over enemy territory, you're continually being shot at by ground forces something displayed by big black smoke clouds and sparks of tracer fire.
Viewed from a topdown perspective, you aim using the large crosshair sight, which you move around by tilting your iPhone or iPod touch left and right. Basically anything that's not sea or rock. You're dropping ordinance on battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines, gun turrets, airfields, oil tanks, hidden bases etc. It's not going live on the Japanese server any time soon though.Īnd, as an cartoon-styled arcade game, there's nothing remotely historically accurate about the missions. Just keep hitting the big, red Bombs Away button like one of Pavlov's dogs with the taste of sausage in its nostrils, it claims, and life will be sweet.Īt least the setting of the game - the Pacific seascapes of WWII - is reasonably neutral for App Store's mainly European and North American audience. Game developers, however, continue to encourage us that given the chance, it can actually be a whole lot of fun.Ĭobra Mobile's iBomber (previously the jovially named Bombs Away before trademark concerns got in the way) is certainly up for plenty of random bombage. International law tells us that randomly dropping bombs on people is A.
