Topple 2 for iPhone

Topple 2, the $3 sequel to Ngmoco’s hugely popular iPhone game, creatively builds on the breakneck-paced cartoony fun of the original.

Can You Top That: Among the new options introduced in Topple 2 is a multiplayer mode where you try to out-stack your opponent’s tallest tower.

As our review of the original Topple () noted, the game plays like a goofy combination of Tetris and Jenga. As colorful pieces in occasionally bizarre shapes appear, you’re tasked with building a tower. Balance is important; if your tower is too wobbly, pieces start falling. You can tilt the iPhone gently from side to side to try to keep things somewhat stable. If four pieces fall from your tower, you lose. But if you can stack your tower high enough in the (short) time allotted, you progress to the next level. (Oddly, the game has no help or tutorial available, though there are some in-game hints. Just start playing; you’ll figure it out.)….more.
