Forest Frenzy is an insanely addictive game in which you defend an oak forest from waves of lumberjacks, robots, gasoline barrels and other monstrosities whose only goal is to destroy your happy place. As the defender of the forest, you are tasked at shooting acorns at the attackers using a giant sling. As the levels in the game increase, so do the number of attackers.

Thankfully there are additional weapons you can use to thwart the onslaught of forest enemies. The first special weapon is the Earthquake Attack, which defeats all enemies on the screen. To activate it, shake the iPhone. This form of attack refreshes after every fifth attack wave. The second special weapon is more powerful ammo, which enemies that are hit leave behind. Mzl

Forest Frenzy is a polished game in both its high-quality graphical presentation and intuitive gameplay. The graphics have a detailed comic book feel and blend in well with the overall game theme. The gameplay is very well-designed and feels natural. The background music is a nice addition and can be changed or turned off. Arctic Empire — the team behind Forest Frenzy — promises more types of enemies and weapons in the next game update. There is also some talk about adding multiplayer, which will be a welcomed addition as the game is strictly based around single-player mode.

Forest Frenzy is unique, fun and funny. The latter is based on cleverly animated death animations that add to the overall addiction of playing this great little game.

About the Author, Sasa Pocek (A.K.A Asterix)

I have been addicted to gaming since I played Pong for the first time when I was six years old. In the meantime, I have played thousands of games (all possible genres) on various systems from Atari 7800 and ZX Spectrum to Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga 500, PCs (Intel 8086 to the latest Intel and AMD chipsets), all Nintendo systems, all Sony Playstation systems, all Sega systems and finally Microsoft's XBox. Aside from gaming, I love to read (sci-fi, military history, politics, mysteries, puzzles...) and love to play chess which I do on a daily basis...
