iOS games: Frisbee Forever

Here is a new game from Kiloo which is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. This is a cool free game and one of the most addicting out there. In the game you throw a frisbee and guide it through a line of hoops all the time trying to gather star like points. Points gathered will enable you to unlock different useful items and also to entry new worlds to play in. You can get stars much faster with in app purchases if you are in a hurry. The game is not so much a racing game as it is some kind of 3D flying game ( think star wars and similar). It also reminds somehow on parts of Super Mario game on Nintendo 64 where you fly around some levels and gather stars in a similar looking game play. Speed of the game is quite hectic so you’ll have to use all your skills to master the game. You guide your frisbee by tilting your iPhone or iPad or by touching controls on the screen.
