3.0 out of 5 stars Cute Lemming Clone July 19, 2012

This is a cute little game.....

Graphically this game is a little dated. The Dibbles and the worlds that they inhabit are however quite charming, and that adds enough appeal to the look of the game to make it visually interesting. The worlds do get a little boring to the eye late in the game, however, they never become an eyesore.

The music and sounds are truly top-flight. The sound effects are cute and fit the Dibbles personality very well. The background music is excellent, and, conveys all the drama that one would expect from a game that requires you to sacrifice your players in order to advance......and yet never so severe that it ruins the whimsicality of the game.......... they are not people... they are bugs ....some of them ARE gonna give thier lives in service to the Dibble King.....

The gameplay itself is where the game starts to falter a little bit. While the controls are spot on , and, the game mechanics are explained in perfect depth........ the game itself is just too darn easy. There is really no challenge at all.......even in the later levels.

Dibbles offers only 33 levels, which is way too few for a game of this type. Considering that none of the levels are ever really going to "stump" the player for very long it is entirely likely that this game can be completed in under an hour. (It took me around 45 minutes) ...................Thats just not enough content........

This game DOES NOT CONTAIN IAP.

There are other Dibbles apps offered thru a "More Games" link on the Dibbles menu screen. This link will take you to the appstore and , if you choose to do so, allow you to purchase either the Winter Themed or Pro pack dibbles games. These purchases are made thru the Appstore proper. Unlike IAP's these purchases are subject to Amazon's purchase protection, can be bought with gift cards, will remain in your Amazon apps collection once purchased, can be downloaded on multiple devices, can be restored after uninstall or upgrading your phone and represent ACTUAL CONTENT....... not game exploits like super dibbles...... Kudos to Difference games for maintaining this level of sales integrity, and for demonstrating that the customer actually matters to thier company!

A full walk-through of the game is offered at no charge to anyone who is willing to install their "GameHub" app. Its not very likely you would need a walk-through in this game, but, it is there if you do. If you don't want to install the "GameHub" there are plenty of resources online that offer the same info.

I am going to rate this game as average, which is 3 stars.

I am subtracting one star from the rating for lack of challenge and one star for the extreme shortness of the game.

I enjoyed the 45 minutes or so I spent guiding the Dibbles thru the various lands....... I just wish there was more to the game....

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Gameplay - Similar to Lemmings July 19, 2012

This is a great game for fans of Lemmings. You have little dibbles that stream out of the entrance and you place "items" for them to pick up and use.

Gameplay is simple and easy to learn. Gets great frame rates on a Galaxy Nexus.

The biggest problem I have with this game is the developers using the back button to call a HOME INTENT (same as the home button). The back button should bring up the pause menu, not minimize the game (it doesn't get closed).

Seemed like there was only one track for BGM. I may be wrong though, as I only played through the first 5ish levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game, reminds of the Lemmings games. February 25, 2012

Basically you're trying to get your king across the map and to safety. You use your dibbles as tools to make it happen. Having them use themselves as bridges or jump pads anything to get the job done. The art style is very cartoonish and cute very appealing. It's a very entertaining game and well worth the money.
