The words between ##/## are quoted from iTunes.

It is already so tempting to get your device and head over to iTunes to download the game after reading the description right? For those who are still doubting whether to get it or not, fret no more. Why not continue to read this entry and get to know about this game? It may change your mind!

Tilt-to-Live consists of 5 gametypes. There are Classic mode, Code Red mode, Gauntlet Evolved mode, Frosbite mode and iVivala Turret! mode. Each game type has its own attraction and different rules of playing.

The 5 game types : Classic mode - chain kills back-to-back to multiply your score. Unlock Awards to earn new weapons.

Code Red mode - It's Classic Mode on crack. Prepare to die!

Gauntlet Evolved mode - Weave through deadly crowds of dots, collecting orbs for points.

Frostbite mode - Shatter your falling frozen foes before the hot spring can reanimate them!

and iViva la Turret! mode - Man the Perforator! Mow down dots, then collect their loose moneys to build a multiplier.

By the way, do you notice you can play the game in different postures? Yes, you can select the way you are holding your device based on your different sitting/sleeping/standing postures at that time. Personally, I find that holding the device in Top-Down way is the most comfortable way for me to navigate and control the cursor.

=======================================================

The Classic and Code Red modes share the same game play rule, that is to kill as many red dots as possible before you bump your cursor into any dots. Their only difference is that Classic mode is more suitable for beginner whereas Code Red mode requires more skills to play as the red dots are quickly spawned and moving at a faster speed. These red dots are evil, they will follow your cursor everywhere. Therefore, you must try to get as many weapons (orbs of different colors with different symbols in it) as possible to arm and protect your cursor.

The Classic mode with less spawning of red dots and slower moving speed.

The Code Red mode - is a busy version of classic mode. You must react fast and alert to those quick spawned red dots.

I am in love with the Code Red mode. It is so addictive because every time I set a new record, I will want to come back to play and set another new high scores! See my newly set high score? Are you dare to challenge me?? Hahaha...To be honest, there are a lot more expert players around us who get extremely much higher score than me. You can check your score and different players on Leaderboards when your device is connected to internet.

=======================================================

Basically in Gauntlet Evolved mode your aim is to get as many colored orbs as possible in order to earn more points. Beware of your enemies-red dots, they will come in large crowd when you get more orbs and spend more time in the game.

=======================================================

Cool blue screen in Frostbite mode. Initially your cursor is protected by the green protecting shield. Kill the frozen red dots before they get to bottom of the screen as they will be reanimated and turn into moving red dots that come chasing after your cursors! Don't loose your protecting shield (when the animated red dots hit your cursor) as it will make your cursor vulnerable to direct attack from these red dots and of course Game Over la when you get hit again.

Notice the thermometer below the screen? Try to kill as many frozen red dots as possible in order to push the temperature from cold to hot, as shown in the above two pictures. When you reach the maximum temperature, the thermometer will turn red and a reddish firery orb will be spawned. Use it to set a line of fire across your screen to assist you killing the increasingly fast dropping of frozen red dots from top.

=======================================================

The last game mode ( iVivala Turret!) offers you a complete different game play as above. Once you pick up the yellow orb, your cursor will be protected in a fort that is armed with Machine Gun. Shoot down those red dots and they will turn into blue shining diamonds. Collect these blue diamonds to gain scores. Please be reminded that the fort will not last long, it will explode after some time and you need to search for the yellow orb to built up another fort. Don't let the red dots to attack your fort.

=======================================================

I really enjoy this game. I instantly in love with this game when my friend, Kyle lend me his iPad to play this game. I was sorry to him as I had to bother him to play the game as I did not own iPad yet that time. Hehe.....I started playing the Code Red mode straight away because i feel that the classic mode is too slow and boring...Though, I could not handle this busy type mode instantly, I picked up the skills quite fast and broke my friend's record (i still remember i broke his record during his birthday. It is my gift to him to set the highest score in his iPad...hahaha..and he still cant break my own record yet until now...Sorry Kyle to mention you here).

SO, have you made up your mind to buy the game?? If you are still hesitating, you can just go to iTunes and search for " Tilt to Live". There should be a free version where only classic made is playable. You can upgrade the game anytime when you feel you are ready to pay for it!

My rating: 4.5/5 ......It is hard to get bored with this game!

White Apple Black Friday New IC

Guess what??? I have bought a brand new iPad!

There was no any plan for me to buy it beforehand.

It was that Friday night (6/5/2011) when I was beavering away studying Numerical Methods for my final examination, then suddenly Kyle messaged me in msn messenger asking me if i could accompany him to buy iPad in the morning. I had rejected him at once as I knew that we had to queue for several hours before we could get the device he wanted. It never crossed in my mind that I would get myself an iPad eventually. Then later he showed me a link to the Ipad and I got all excited! I was deeply attracted by the iPad in the webpage. It just looks so cool to have one. Then, I texted Kyle a reply that I might want to buy too. Both of us were on the cloud nine when discussing about the iPad we were about to get on the next morning and I could not focus on my revision anymore. So, instead of continuing my revision, I lingered in the Apple webpage to compare prices of different iPad model. Since, I am not ready to pay more for every month 3g usage, I made up my mind to buy the one with only wifi and get the maximum memory capacity available. Then we went to sleep, waiting for the break of dawn to come and we would rush to Mid Valley Machine store to get our iPad.

When we arrived there at 7.30am, there was already long queue of people whom were all crazily (enthusiastically) waiting for the store to open. I brought my notes together with me so that I won't waste all the waiting hours doing nothing. After 2 and a half hour, the store finally opened. The staff gave each of us a card that indicated the model we wished to purchase. Before the staff reached to us, we were quite jumpy that the stock might run out before us and we would go back with empty hand. Fortunately, the staff did not disappoint us and both of us got the cards (iPad) we wanted. After the store opened, we still had to wait for another 1 hour before we were let into the shop. The customers were divided into group of 4 or 5 people and the staff would only serve one group at a time. And that's the reason why we had to wait for so long! Around 12pm, Kyle and me walked proudly out of the store, clinging to our shopping bags and catching glimpse of envy glares from other shoppers and those who were still lining up. We patiently drove back to our hostel before opening the box like kids do when they receive presents for their Christmas. Then, we started to set up the iPad together......(this is what happened that day la. no more story to tell)....

Ok, after exploring my iPad for several days, I have installed a new free game - Falling Fred. The game is damn bloody that I cannot resist but keep naming it as Bloody Fred instead. It is a game where Fred is falling down a tunnel with no end and all you have to do is to avoid him to crash into any obstacles (pipes, turbine, walls..)by tilting your device. The game gets all bloody when you crash Fred into the wall or any other obstacles. The turbine might cut Fred's head off if you fail to dodge it and you can see red blood sputtering out of the beheaded body! I wonder why the game is available for free. Don't you think it is too bloody and violent for kids to play huh?

White iPad, 64gb, Wifi

Long queue, we were already 70++th people when we arrived there at 7.30am

Eating McD and waiting

Got what we want!

White and Black

The Bloody Fred

This is not as bloody as other fall

====================================================================

Black Friday - Friday (13th May)..

Who cares about whether it is a black friday or not? Who cares how the presentation went suckly in the morning ? ( I do care, please. Let's just hope the lecturer won't fail me for that subject...*pray hard*)...Life must still go on!

We had a plan to go clubbing after examination, and all of us managed to stick to our plan, except Miss June! She remembered wrongly the date we would want to go clubbing and had preoccupied herself that night with her meeting with our hostel management group, discussing about the things they would do for the new comer after the new semester starts in September. Though, we all think it would be less interesting without her, but we had a GREAT night out!

What amazed me so much was how I managed to wake up after 2 hours of sleep that night and still had the energy to go Pudu bus station to take bus coming back home.

haha...about the clothes I wore that night, there were stinky like hell. My shirts and pants were engulfed with thick smell of cigarette and alcohol that I had to hide them beneath the all other unwashed clothes so that my mum would not realize them when she helped me to wash the clothes. So far, she did not mention anything or suspicious about me hanging out in those places yet la.

The boys had a great night out!

===================================================================

I went to update my IC yesterday for I am going to use it to get a passport. I am going to have vacation in Hatyai in early June. Hopefully the picture will turn out OK!
