Lumiappaday #146: Parachute Panic demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 XboxLive

| April 9, 2012 | 6 Replies

Parachute Panic is a cute little game, designed as if it was a drawing on some graph paper. Point of the game? Help the little stick men launch their parachute and then with your godly influence, flick some wind to guide their parachute to the boat. Be careful though – there are helicopters out to mangle your stickmen, as well as low thunder clouds to electrocute your men. Don’t let them fall in the boat’s chimney as they’ll just fall off, nor should you let them fall in the ocean as they’ll get eaten by a shark.

Developer Blurb:

 In this unique casual game, you must help an army of parachutists land safely in the boats. Beware the imminent dangers, such as the rotor blades of passing helicopters, sharks, thunder clouds and UFOs. The game contains beautiful hand-drawn graphics that give the game a stunning and distinctive look. There are also some comic animations when, for example, one of the skydivers breathes his last breath in a failed encounter with the enemy. Catchy acapella music and awesome sound effects enhance the game world. We had lots of fun creating this game and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

    Sorry for the OT post, & I don’t mean to sound accusatory here.
    But are you guys honestly getting “no” app suggestions for the N9/950?
    Maybe I’ll start to submit some regularly, once I have more time in a few wks.
    Assuming you guys are cool with that….

      Sorry, we’re all getting pretty busy with Uni. I’m just keeping up this out of habit now, but I’ve barely got time for this either. I still haven’t posted todays.

      As we said before, if others want to help out with our app demoes, we’ll gladly publish it.

        Fair enough….
        Just don’t get why Maemo6 app reviews aren’t even 1/10 of the app reviews done for WP.
        I’d understand if you don’t own a N9, but you do.
        I will start to submit some suggestions soon.
        Good-luck with your studies…

      I have done a few, but YouTube has been a hastle lately and won’t upload. And then, to be honest, I forget about them due to Uni and all that.

      But Like Jay said, if you want to do a review, we will definitely post it :)
