What's everyone doing on their iPhone? Just Fillin'!
Just Fillin' is the best new game on the iTunes App Store, trust me.
Use your fingers to blow bubbles until the screen is filled up. But its not that easy. Vicious spikey balls are flying all over the screen, ready to burst your bubble.
Its an amazing physics and water simulation, Just Fillin' will keep you entertained and addicted for hours or just minutes.
Use advanced techniques like tilting and tossing bubbles to trap the spikeys and clear space to fill the screen. Compete against the world on our online leaderboard. Enjoy!
This version contains UNLIMITED levels, and an diabolical HARD mode. There are also no advertiser messages! (We may from time to time let you know about our other games though).
Check out our other Apps: Aqua Hoops and Aqua Baller.
***AUTOSAVE IS THERE! Several commenters have mentioned the lack of autosave. It is there! If you leave a game in progress, and relaunch the game, you will see a RESUME button on the lower right side of the intro screen. Tap it and you will pick up on the level you left with your previous score intact!
Just Fillin' Review
Casual game provides a fun, colorful way to pass the time
The goal of Just Fillin’ by Playtoniq is simple: raise the water level to the top of the iPhone’s screen as quickly as possible. You do this by “fillin’” balloons, which then fall into the water, displacing the liquid and making the level rise.
A Rising Tide: You make the water level rise in Just Fillin’ by pumping up balloons and dropping them into the water. But look out for those sharp spikeys.
To fill the balloon, you press and hold on the screen. The longer you hold, the more the balloon inflates and the larger it becomes. However, there are sharp “spikeys” that hover around above the water—as you inflate the balloons, they’re transparent and vulnerable to popping by the spikeys. Take a long time to inflate a balloon, and you increase the risk of having your efforts go for naught.
Once you finish inflating the balloon, it turns solid, and the spikeys simply bounce off of it. As you proceed through the game’s levels, the number of spikeys increase, making things more challenging. You can also twist and turn your iPhone or iPod touch to swish the water around or move the balloons, lining them up under the surface of the water.
Playtoniq does a nice job of using bold colors and easy-to-understand controls to make this simple game enjoyable. A free version of Just Fillin’ features limited levels, while this $1 edition comes with unlimited levels and a Hard mode for a more challenging experience.
Just Fillin’ is the type of game that you can show to a young kid or an adult looking to kill some idle time, and they’ll both have fun with it.
Just Fillin’ is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.x software update.
