Cincinnati Bengal wide receiver, Chad Ochocinco, with the help of Rock Software, has created a surprisingly addictive and polished, Mirror’s Edge-esque game. Similar to the hit next-gen game, gamers are in control of Chad as he chases after thieves that stole his pigeons. Yes for the 1.4 million people that follow Ochocinco on Twitter, he tuned one tweet about his missing birds into iPhone app.
The game is pretty simple. Using the screen as a controller, you duck, jump, and double jump your way around obstacles in an effort to catch the cold hearted bird thief that stole the semi-famous pigeon. The game features some great quotes (“I GOT YO BIRD – XOXO – THUG”), Back To The Future-esque hover boards, rocket thrusters, gangsters, traffic, and even killer sharks that try really hard to eat the cunning hero.
The unique thing about it, is that the levels are set all over the globe, from the beaches of Florida to the top of the Great Wall of China. As the environments change, so do the enemies. You’ll get gangsters in Miami, luchadors in Mexico, and farmers in Omaha. As far as iPhone games go the graphics are pretty decent, as the cartoon animation works well for what is essentially an old-school platformer. A decent game to kill some time at the DMV, or church.
Also check out exclusive tracks on the game from Miami’s #1 DJ, DJ Irie.
