In the world of App games, one of the most prevalent genres is the time-waster. Those games that are often somewhat nonsensical, are utterly simple by design, and don't really require a lot of attention. Responsible for an amazing percentage of App downloads, these games are fun, funny, usually silly, and often pretty addictive.
Slingshot Safari, the follow-up to Slingshot Cowboy, is such a game, and it involves nothing more than pulling your finger down to fire your slingshot. Based purely on simplicity and the hopes of screwy fun, the game is perhaps the ultimate in goofy downloads, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Assuming you have a few Apps available already, you've probably got a few that fall into the silly category, and taking a break with something that delivers a cute bit of fun is something most of us could use.
With easy to control gameplay, a variety of levels, and cute graphics, both games give you a casual, fun escape that keeps you interested. It isn't something you're going to devote a lot of time to, but it isn't supposed to be. As something to take up a few minutes though, or to pass over to occupy someone else (parents), it's a fun option.
Best of all, you can give it a spin for free, but the full version is well worth the price.
