Wombi Helicopter App Review – High-Flying Fun!

By Emily On April 24, 2013 · Add Comment

Usually I begin my reviews with a semi-funny anecdote that relates to the app about which I’m writing. When it came to this particular game I just couldn’t come up with anything cute that involved a raccoon piloting a rescue helicopter to pick up cows floating away with fistfuls of balloons. I’m considering myself lucky that I can’t share such a story. Wombi Helicopter is as much fun as it sounds from my spoiler alert. Young players choose different components to make up a custom chopper and head out into “town” to save citizens from rogue balloons. An evil skunk, the mastermind behind the Balloon Incident, is waiting in a hot-air balloon or a prop plane to send the helicopter crashing (non-violently) to the ground. Altitude can be changed by holding a finger on the screen, but take it off and the helicopter might fall out of the [...]

Ever have one of those mornings? You know, when you’re 10 minutes late and the kids look like they slept under a bridge because you forgot to comb their hair?

The game opens up the door [...]

Wombi Toys Review – An Easy Fix!

By Emily On December 27, 2012 · 1 Comment

Once every month or so I rummage through the kids’ playroom to dispose of various pieces of toys that no longer function properly. You know what I mean: It’s that random piece from the puzzle you threw away because it was missing a piece. Or that electronic thingy that used to make that noise before it was curiously dropped in the toilet. Most tragic to me are the books with pages torn, colored upon, and disassembled at the binding. It would be wonderful to have an assembly line on which these toys can travel, waiting for your child to fix and return to the abyss that is the toy box. Wombi Toys is the virtual manifestation of this exact concept. Your child can have the most coveted job of all children – Toy Builder, Repairman, and Tester. In this app players are presented with a striking illustration of a workshop, [...]
