I found an interesting new game on iTunes the other day, called Slayin'. It's a pixelated "endless runner RPG". The goal of the game is to run and hop back and forth across the screen, defeating monsters (who go pop when they touch your sword), collect coins, get the high score, and stay alive. There are little merchants that pop up from time to time to sell you armor, food, or better weapons, and occasionally "A great danger approaches!" as a brief boss battle. When you die, your score is tallied up, and any achievements you completed net you an extra fifty points each. The higher your score, the more "Fame" you earn, which you can use to purchase extra characters, or upgrades for your tombstone.
Yes, folks, you can trick out your tombstone with some sweet decor.
After that, you can dash back into the field and try for a higher score. It's a lot of fun for such a simple game, and it's surprisingly difficult to put down.
So yeah, if you have an iPod Touch, go play it!
