Juggling Spiders! What Will They Think Of Next?

Posted by Bogdan Lazar

Plingi Juggle iPhone Game Review.

Pigs steal eggs. Birds dive head-on towards them. Spiders now juggle fruits. The possiblities are limitless and that's one of the great things of this platform. Any silly little concept can turn into a great, addictive game. Plingi Juggle is one of these games that will make you go "Huh?" but have you stare at your iPhone for hours on end.

How to play

The game is even simpler than Angry Birds (this is not saying that it's as good as). There are no actual physics involved, no trajectory to calculate. Your only concerns are timing and location. You control two spiders carrying a web from left to right, while a third spider is dropping berries from a tree branch on top.

The berries fall from the left-most side of the screen, a mere three spaces from the fruit bucket. You have to use the spiders to move the web from left to right and bounce the fruits one by one into the bucket. Each berry will have to be bounced three times in order to keep it from falling on the ground and instead land right in the bucket.

If more than three berries fall on the ground, it's game over.

How long can you last?

The game has no levels. There are no other obstacles to overcome. Your only worry is to not let those berries hit the ground. Keep at it for as long as possible. The game is perfectly integrated with GameCenter, so you have some nice accomplishments to keep you motivated and in case you're wondering if you're the superstar, then you can check out the leaderboards. The current record there is around 260 berries. My personal best was 15, so you can imagine I have a long way to go.

The truth is, this game is a true survival arcade game. But it does make you wonder how innately ridiculous are we if we can call spiders bouncing berries a survival game. Seriously though, Plingi Juggle will have you pulling your hair quite fast!

You can also purchase extra lives via in-app purchases if you're trying to improve your chances.

Honestly, there's not much to this game. Move something from left to right and right to left in a confined space. That's what it's all about. But for some reason, this little game has had me pinned down playing for the better part of the last two hours. A seriously addictive game! Not to mention it's 100% free.
