Good Graphics, bad controls
Crypton_US
The biggest problem I got with Globs are the controls. There are several examples in the AppStore which show how a game can benefit of good analogue controls. But that aside the game is a blast. The different levels designs fit to the cartoony theme and add atmosphere. If I could I would've given 3.4 stars. As it stands I can't, therefore only 3 stars. But with better controls I'm more than happy to give this the four stars it deserves.
Great improvements to an awesome game

I reviewed this game before the recent update.... the improvements really make a world of difference! The joy-pad control style was always my favorite. I'm on level 5 right now. Looking forward to the weapon improvements! - brendons
Very nice platform shooter!

Globs was a game that I first heard of from Big Albie at TouchArcade. After his praise of the game, I got the game, and I see why he said the great things that he did. iDracula was never my favorite shooter, it was just too difficult, and to me lacked that fun factor. I searched for a shooter that was fun an enjoyable long term, and I'm happy to report this is it. The graphics and easy to learn/use controls are what sold it for me. If you like platform and shooting games, this is the game for you. Great developer that has been very active on the TA forums, fixing and adding things consistently.I would love to see different globs besides the slime. Maybe smoke or fire or something? Also I love the adventure challenges, can we get more? Also maybe some more music? Thanks! TA Contest: jchampl

This app is great however I have one gripe, the controls with jumping. I find it extremely difficult to jump on rocks as I either jump too far or to short. Please fix this in the next update. Otherwise great job. -redsoxsrule424
Fun shooter with character!

For $0.99, I was expecting a run of the mill zombie shooter. However, I turned it on and was met with a creative and intriguing platformer. It's such a joy to shoot those cute little globs of green goo and watch the little guys try to ingest the man's head. As I progressed through the game, I was met by a helpful, interactive tutorial, a deep and lengthy adventure mode, and an exciting "Action" (survival) mode. There are three control modes: joystick (iDracula controls), accelerometer (Rolando), and button (joysticks/x and y buttons). I found the first two to be virtually useless but was satisfied with the button controls. Overall, this game was well worth the $0.99 and would recommend it to anybody who enjoys platformers (Rolando) and zombie shooters (Zombieville/iDracula). That said, I had to take off a star because the resolution and overall polish on the menus could have been better and although I enjoyed the button controls, I would have wanted to try a control scheme with one joystick on the left for both shooting and walking, and two buttons on the right for jumping/ducking. Globs may not be a "must buy" for everyone, but fans of the genre will enjoy this worthy addition to their collections.
A fun shooting game!

Globs may look different from most games because it is. Globs is a fun interactive shooter that is a simple yet complex game. Its mission is for you to shoot the Globs which attack you if you dont move they can attack you from different directions such as top, bottom and the side. From the last update the D-Pad controls improved dramitcally, I cant wait to see how much it can improve(though its good enough already) Since it improved so much from the controls Im sure that if you want anything else in the game it can be added. A+++++ for the devs hard work!
Cool shooting games with great controls.

This is a fun shooting game. I wasn't expecting the controls to work so well. You move with one "wheel" and shoot with the other, as if you were using an XBOX/PS3 controller's analog sticks. This means you can move or shoot in any direction. Move up to jump. There are two game modes, a kind of career mode and a free play mode, and three control options. You can even change the size of the controls and swap their screen position. The music is fun and it has polished graphics. Recommended for a fun shooting romp. -- "GatorDeb" on Touch Arcade forums.
Hmm...

It has a lot of potential, but the game does, at heart, not have a lot to offer: The controls are very slippery, often leading to deaths, All globs are exactly the same, leading to boredom, The goal is always the same, making it very repititive, The new weapon completely overshadows the original in terms of effectiveness, Aside from movement being slippery, it is also very difficult to make precise jumps, or shaking a Glob off of your head, leading to fustration. Like I said, the engine has much potential, but it has much work to be done to be great.
