Cover Orange [iOS]

Cover Orange has been described as Angry Birds in reverse and it is quite a fitting description. Instead of knocking down walls and objects, you build them to protect your oranges. The game has it's origins as a flash game which is still available to play for free online, so if you don't have an iOS device you don't have to miss out.

The aim of the game is to stop the evil cloud from raining upon your oranges. The game features a huge number of levels and for the most part you are smashing through these levels quite easily. Every now and then a level comes a long that is a bit trickier and keeps you on your toes. At first this difficulty spike seemed a little arbitrary but I quite liked it as you felt like you were getting a lot accomplished without feeling like you weren't challenged. The level designs can be quite elaborate though at times you can simply bypass what you are meant to do and just stick a couple of blocks on top of your orange and away you go.


Artistically the game is fairly terrible. It has some of the worst sounds and music in any game I have ever played. The graphics are rudimentary but get the job done. I suppose some of these things can be overlooked because it is aimed at children who either don't care, or perhaps even like the terrible sounds etc. in the game.



It's all about the gameplay for this game and I think you'll agree once you've played through your first 50 levels you'll wonder if you can ever put this game down 9/10.
