iPhone App Spotlight: Pocket God

You won’t find me playing iPhone games all the time, but there’s one game that I find myself constantly playing. That game is Pocket God, in which users “play God” by controlling a group of natives on a small island.

With a maximum of 6 islanders, you can make them do various tasks, or do a multitude of things to them. For instance, tapping on the screen will make them dance, or you could toss them into a volcano to spark an eruption. There’s also a storm cloud that allows you to strike a native with lightning, or spur on a hurricane. The water isn’t safe though, for there’s a shark swimming and the islanders will drown instantly.

Of course, you’re responsible for feeding them and ensuring a good night’s rest. By dragging the sun, or moon, you’re able to change the time of day. To feed the islanders, you can either break open some coconuts or have them go fishing. Of course, you can’t just drop a coconut from the tree, you have to break them by dropping them upon a native’s head.

What’s really cool about Pocket God are the constant updates that are released. Recent updates have brought bats, fire ants, and fishing rods. Updates are available at miscellaneous times, but so far there have been eleven releases.

There are many other features available, and all sorts of others planned. At ninety-nine cents, Pocket God will bring you hours and hours of amusement that are well worth the price.

You can find Pocket God for sale in the app store, or visit the active community and blog for Bolt Creative and Pocket God.
