Super Yum Yum

Bodily noises are, at least to the male minds of Pocket Gamer, a source of never-ending amusement. You'd think we'd grow out of such things but we�re still able to have as much fun with a whoopee cushion as we did when we were nine. Though we're older (some of us more than others) it still raises a cackle. So the antics of the fruit-guzzling chameleon, Leon, in Super Yum Yum had us in stitches the first time we played it. You play as Leon, who's hungry and lost far from home, and must make your way back through 36 fruit-filled levels. Viewed from an overhead perspective, each level contains a portal which will enable Leon to reach the next level and, eventually, home. To reach the portal you need to the eat the fruit that's blocking it. And you can only eat fruit that's the same colour as your skin. Being a chameleon, however, means you can change your skin colour, and this is influenced by the colour of the leaves on the fruit you eat.

It's really not as complicated as it sounds. Say, for example, you start off green. You can only eat fruit that's green. So you spy an apple with red leaves. You eat the apple (thanks to the fact it's green) but change red because of the leaves. Now you can only eat red fruit. By changing colours in this way you need to work out how you can eat enough fruit in the level in order to escape it. It's an ingenious challenge and will take some thought if you're going to clear a level of fruit entirely. While there are usually a couple of different orders in which you can eat the fruit to clear it all, it's never clear-cut and, like chess, you need to be able to think a few moves ahead.

Fruit that's stranded on isolated walls and platforms adds to the head-scratching and will require you to use Leon's long tongue to grab the fruit and pull himself across any gaps. Eat the fruit in the wrong order on a particular platform and you might not be able to get off it again, though. Thankfully there's no time limit and you can attempt each level as many times as you want, though you can't progress any deeper into the game until the current level has been beaten. Oh, and those bodily noises that will keep you entertained? Eat a piece of fruit and you're thanked with a little chameleon burp or slurp. It's not big and it's sure not clever, but it keeps us entertained.

And its entertainment which Super Yum Yum delivers in buckets. It makes excellent use of your phones' controls and the bright colours are simplistic enough to look good on a really wide range of mobile phones. Each level can be done in between 5 and 10 minutes and as each is substantially different in its layout and solution, you won't soon get bored. We're not the only ones who think so; it was even nominated for a BAFTA Games Award (British Academy of Film and Television Arts), run by the same people who hand out awards for films and TV shows. Maybe it's classier than we thought.
