As I go through the variety of shooter games for the Iphone I become more and more convinced that this is not the platform for this kind of apps, but more for casual arcade or strategy games. In the future a game may be developed that will change my mind but Hill Billy is not that game.
From the vast majority of shooters for the Iphone this probably is the one with the best graphics and most interesting weapons and weird foes. Hill Billy tries to be a hybrid shooter with influences from classic arcade games. In this game you are a farmer that needs to protect his carrots from invading robot animal pillagers. You get to play trough five levels that take place around your farm in which you get to use a variety of weapons to destroy the biomechanical creatures. Read the rest of this entry »
