The Blimp pilots are an app development team, who make apps for iPhone in their spare time. Distant shore and Koi pond have been added to the app treasures list, so lets keep things snappy and review each of there apps in chronological order starting of with….
Name in Lights, Billed as the most featured banner app in the app store it deserves the praise it gets, with a large number of features for something so simple as displaying a message. It allows the simple on sentence scrolling across the screen as well as coming with editable templates and presets, it also comes with the option to combine these to create a show. This high quality app is available for 59p or $0.99, it’s a fun little messaging service and my favourite preset is the can i buy a drink one useful in any crowded bar, all in all a good buy. After this strong launch the pilots bring us The #1 selling app of 2008!
Koi Pond, a relaxing water sim for your iPhone. Presented from a top down view turning the iPhone into a pond full of koi the graphics in this game are stunning, it is defiantly one of the best looking apps ever. It has a simple concept you have a pond with fish in, watch them and relax. The sound is relaxing and beneficial tohelp create a relaxing atmosphere where ever you are. If you shake the phone fish food appears which they will swim up to eat creating qa realistic water effect. The game gives the illusion of turning your screen to liquid and when you touch the fish and water react realistically, If you leave your finger still against the screen the fish will come and nibble it causing the phone to vibrate. Recently updated With 2 new fish and a sleep timer and the option for a tile background this app is very much alive and deserves to be the number one selling app of last year. There latest app is one of the most inavotive and once again has a strong concept and like the pond is relaxing welcome to your…
Distant shore, the endless beach on which messages float ashore, these messages are sent by other people who earned bottles by collecting shells when you do the same you can cast out a message and it could go anywhere in the world. once messages are washed ashore you can send a reply and this starts interesting conversation. Keeping up the high graphics, and high standard of the pilots this app is nothing short of a master piece, a brilliant concept well executed.
The Blimp Pilots are very successful and I look forward to seeing what they produce next, all there apps cost 0.59p or $0.99 and a very good value, there apps are a must buy.
