Moving day. The worst day of your life. Getting a new house is fun and all, but moving all your junk is a pain. Don't you just wish there could be some fun in the event (and by fun, I don't mean breaking your back)? Don't you wish moving day was a GAME, instead of a PAIN?
Download the Moving Day game for iPhone, and maybe it can be. This app is a humorous game that puts you smack dab in the middle of that dreaded situation.
The goal of this iPhone game is simple: transport all of your client's personal items from their house to the moving truck while avoiding obstacles. Sounds easy, right? Did we mention that you play as a 40-year-old man on roller skates? Um, yeah. A little less easy.
Moving Day includes what could be considered a campaign and a quick play mode. A campaign is spread across three difficulties, each containing 8 levels, for a total of 24 levels of roller skating, moving day mayhem. The quick play mode randomly selects a previously-completed level for you to retry or replay.
Gameplay starts with you loading several items on top of a board, which you must balance throughout the level by tilting, or not tilting, your device. As you navigate through cones and other obstacles, you also have the option to collect bonus items. At the end of each level, you are scored on how fast you completed the track and how many bonus items you collected.
I found the controls in this game to be very awkward. It combines both the accelerometer and touch controls which, especially on the iPad, can be a little confusing. As with any iPhone game, however, I soon got acquainted with the movement system.
The app supports both OpenFeint and Game Center, so, once you master the controls, the simple gameplay is an easy to rack up some points in front of your friends. It's also a universal app, meaning it supports all iDevices.
Overall, Moving Day is an entertaining game that may even make little Junior laugh at its cartoonish graphics. And its nonviolent game play (there aren't even any broken backs), makes this game safe fun for all ages.
With a cheap price tag of just 99 cents, it's certainly less expensive than hiring actual movers and a lot more fun that six weeks in traction from breaking your back by doing all the work yourself.
