Playfun's iPad physics trajectory game Tripper Mission is what Rovio might have made on acid

It's called Tripper Mission, but that's not the reason I think it's a game Rovio might have made instead of Angry Birds had its designer dropped acid that fateful day.

Okay, so I'm being a little fatuous (again), but that's certainly my first impression of Mexican developer Playfun's newish iPad game.

Light fantastic

Aside from all the crazy neon colours and shades, you find yourself in the year 2400, travelling through 2D side-scrolling levels, firing alien creatures in the typical physics trajectory manner - pull back, check the dotted line denote its arc etc - as you go.

To make your progress from left to right, you have to fire aliens at the levers dotted around that on contact will rearrange various obstacles so you can continue on your merry way to the exit. Collecting yellow orbs as your aliens whiz through the air will also gain you points.

However, more interesting than the three levels currently available in what's labelled the free demo version, is the news a full version is due to be released.

Priced $2.99, €2.39 or £1.99, it's going to be released as an in-app purchase from with the free version, so it's worth getting your hands on that now to prepare yourself.
