Photo Spot -- Review





Category: Picture Games
Price: $0.99 (sale) $1.99 (regular)
App Store Link: [Full] / [Free Lite Version]

Review: Like it
Replay Value: Variable
Recommendation: Photo Spot is a fun "spot the difference" game with over 100 pairs of photos.

Photo Spot is a polished spot the difference game, plain and simple. Players race against the clock to find all four difference between two images before time runs out and the game is over. The touch control is very precise, but accurate; this helps eliminate cheating (along with a time penalty for a wrong guess). If players get stuck on an image, they are allowed 3 hints per game. Differences come in many different types, including missing pieces, color changes, size differences, just to name a few. The game keeps track of high scores so you can compete with your personal bests.

Additionally, the developer has notified us of a soon to be current update already submitted to the App Store with an expected release during the first week of April. This new update includes global high score charts and 25+ new images (with an additional 50 promised to follow within two weeks).

The replay value of the game might easily depend on how much you play it. If you spend hours playing, you may find yourself becoming too familiar with images for high replay value. However, if you have substantial periods of downtime between play, even with recurring images you might just find yourself frustrated trying to find that fourth difference (in a good way)!

What we'd like to see in future updates: More and more image sets, of course!
