The Incident

THE INCIDENT is a fast-paced, retro-style action game. Run, dodge and jump your way to safety as an angry rain of just about everything in the world falls and builds a mountain of platforms for you to climb up, up… up to the source of it all: the cause of THE INCIDENT.

"This iPhone/iPad game is really great - get it! $2. It makes me laugh every time I play it." —John Romero, Designer of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake.

"A game you pick up quickly, but can't put back down." —Engadget

"Gaming's Most Charming Vision of the Apocalypse" —Gizmodo

"The controls work well, the graphics look cool, it's universal from the get go, and I really dig the whole concept behind the game." —Touch Arcade

"Terrific little indie games like this are what make the iPhone platform really shine." —TUAW

THE INCIDENT is easy to pick up but hard to master. It's a totally new gameplay concept and it's perhaps TOO addictive. It's loaded with power-ups, power-downs (d'oh!) and collectables. Try to beat the game, then try to unlock all the achievements. No one said getting 500 coins would be easy.

THE INCIDENT is a universal app that runs great on any iPhone or iPod touch, and on iPad. Buy once, play anywhere!

After all these years, I got reacquainted with The Incident. Still! A great looking and fun game to play on the iPhone. I know the game is aging but I would love to see the developer offer support for it again. Namely, controller support for the iPhone. I hope this game never leaves the AppStore and we need more like it. ❤️❤️❤️

Gets difficult too quickly
AlphaJeronimo

This game, while well designed and creatively thought out suffers from two major flaws. First, free lives are practically given away. I think I racked up almost 15 lives one game. They come to mean nothing after a while. But in a way they are necessary because of problem 2... Starting levels 4/5 the game gets exceedingly difficult. The objects come down too fast, are of odd shapes, and there are too many ancient curses that cannot be avoided. On top of this, you only have 3 health points until you lose a life, which is not a lot so you will use up all those lives you collected and go nowhere. Lastly, the gems don't seem to mean anything and it isn't mentioned how to get into the weird bubble teleport mode. This boils down to a lack of any documentation or demonstration. This game requires some vast improvements before it can be considered playable over the long term.

It's a fun game and all for a few minutes but then it's just blah. This would be a great game if I could connect more than one iPhone/iPod and play with friends until that then 3 stars
