A true gemBringing one of the most popular puzzle franchises ever created back to the top of the
iPad Qi chart this week is renowned mobile game developer PopCap.
The braaains behind
Plants vs Zombies HD has taken its cross-platform sensation
Bejeweled and given it a high-definition
facelift, meaning owners of the new iPad will be able to match-three on their scorching Retina displays.
Also, if you want a break from the classic gameplay, you can go digging for precious minerals in Diamond Mine mode or save ex-caterpillars in Butterfly mode.
Alternatively, if you just want to chill out and match gems without any time restrictions, Zen mode's leisurely pace and ambient soundtrack will help you swipe your cares away.
Slide To Play's reviewer found
Bejeweled HD's visual upgrade a thing of beauty, promising that it will "astonish new iPad owners everywhere".
Magic momentsMeanwhile, rocketing into the top of the
iPad Qi net this week is First Touch's football nostalgia game
Score! Classic Goals.
As the incredibly literal title implies, the game reproduces a selection of the most significant - or simply downright gorgeous - goals in the history of international football.
First, you play through the setup to the goal, tracing the intended path of the ball with your finger. Then, when it's time to put it away, just recreate the ball's original arc and watch as destiny takes its course.
Accuracy is key, so you'll have to make sure you mirror the real-world goal perfectly if you want all three stars in your trophy cabinet.
The folks over at
148Apps were cheering on
Score! Classic Goals from the touchline, deeming it "a very responsive and very enjoyable experience".
