Quickie Review: Dizzy Bee

Dizzy Bee is fun little game on the App Store that lets you take great advantage of the iPhone's accelerometer. It costs $2.99, but if you're not up for spending the cash, there's a free version called DizzyBeeFree that will give you a taste of what the game has to offer.

Developed by Igloo Games, Dizzy Bee basically takes you on the quest of a little bee to gather flowers and bring his little friends to safety. You play by rotating the iPhone to allow the bee to drop down through the maze and collect the flowers. But you have to watch out for the bad guys. 

This game takes you all over the place from the garden to the ocean. What I really like about it is how quick gameplay is. We all don't have hours to devote to gameplay, so you can complete a level in about a minute, if you'd like, then pick the game up again later. The sound effects are good and the image quality is nice. The game area is cute but I would have liked to see a bit more three-dimensional quality to it, especially with the Dizzy Bee himself. 

Pretty good game for simple fun. Kids would enjoy this one as well or those merely looking for a diversion while waiting for appointments.
