Does Gravity Guy 2 Offer Even More Gravity-Flipping Gaming Goodness?
Gravity Guy: Remember Gravity Guy, the hit gravity-flipping game released by MiniClipPlayer back in 2010? Well, the title character is back in the game's sequel, which is called, rather predictably, Gravity Guy 2.
But don't expect to be flipping gravity again in Gravity Guy 2.
Instead, expect to be controlling the platforms on which your game character is running and jumping.
Yup, I used the nonspecific "game character" instead of the specific "Gravity Guy." That's because in Gravity Guy 2, you can play as a character other than Gravity Guy himself.
You choose from seven additional characters, each of whom has his or her unique abilities: Neon, Troop, Girl, Slim, Beat, Mech, and Beauty. Actually, they are all clones, not unlike Gravity Guy, who has been cloned upon his presumed capture at the end of the first game. And now he, along with his fellow clones, is on the run once again. Only this time around, gravity is on your side, or at least on the side of the screen where it's always expected to be acting toward. Gravity Guy 2 is available now in the App Store as a $0.99 universal download. The original Gravity Guy is, of course, still available in the App Store for $0.99 for the iPhone version and $2.99 for the iPad version.
Unlock Is A Simple Title For A Simple Game
Unlock ($0.99) by MiniClipPlayer.com tests your spatial IQ in this 3D puzzle game. Some weird alien guy (not sure who or what he is) has been captured. The only way to free him (or it) is to solve a wooden block puzzle. Of course, he's just going to get locked up once again when the next level comes up. The puzzle consists of multiple interlocked pieces, each a different color. Swipe on the screen to rotate the puzzle. Leaving one finger on the screen, you can use the other to manipulate the puzzle pieces. Slide or pull them to set them free. The piece won't go anywhere if it's locked in place, so sometimes the order you remove the pieces will matter. I'll admit that I was a little apprehensive to pick up this game. Let's just say I got jaded as a kid trying to solve one of those real life puzzles. However, this game is nothing like real life (just look at weird alien guy there). Simply open the game and get to it. You start off easy for the first 10 levels. In fact, going through them almost feels mindless. Afterwards the difficulty level increases, though there is always a solution button to show you the steps if you get really stuck. While the premise of solving puzzles in this game is good, everything else about it feels superfluous. The fact that you're freeing a trapped alien has nothing to do with solving puzzles. Considering we don't even know his name or why he's trapped, there's no attachment to him. There's also no time limitation and no other obstacles toward completing the puzzles. Don't get me wrong, it is fun to manipulate the puzzles and solve them, but I would recommend a lite version of the game over the paid one (if a lite version existed).
Security issues
Several security firms reported in 2006 that some MiniClipPlayer users had installed a "MiniClipPlayer gameloader.dll" which contains the hostile code identified as "Trojan DownLoader 3069".[3] Removal tools are available. Reports in 2006 from the same security vendors show the same file as not containing hostile code.[citation needed] In 2006, the security firm Sunbelt Software reported that MiniClipPlayer installed "High Risk" malware called "Trojan-Downloader.CR64Loader".[4] On September 1, 2005, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued an advisory concerning MiniClipPlayer:
