			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cut the Rope is a very fun and addicting game made by <a href="http://www.chillingo.com/index.htm">Chillingo</a>, the same makers of Angry Birds, Cogs and a bunch of other apps! It’s available for the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/cut-the-rope/id380293530?mt=8">iPhone/iPod touch</a>, <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/cut-the-rope-hd/id394610743?mt=8">iPad</a>, and <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zeptolab.ctr.paid&amp;hl=en">Android</a>. The goal of the game is to get the candy in order to collect all 3 of the stars, which then go into the creature’s mouth. To do this you need to cut the rope at the right time and have it go through as many stars as you can and fall into the creatures mouth. This sounds very easy but it becomes more difficult the further you get into the game!</p>
<p>This is a great game to play if you’re bored. You will have a very hard time putting this game down once you start playing! Currently there are 8 boxes, each containing 25 levels. There is over 200 levels total to play. Updates with more boxes and levels come out often. Each box will need to be unlocked to play but if you get stuck on a level, you can always skip it and come back later (however you can’t leave the box). If the candy touches a bubble it will float up instead of falling down. Socks and Hats act as teleporters (<em>sic</em>). However, the candy has to be in one whole piece to use a teleporter (<em>sic</em>) (on the harder levels the start off in two pieces).</p>
<p>A great feature of this game are the multi-touch capabilities, you can cut two ropes at once, cut a rope and pop a bubble or preform a variety of other touch gestures to control the game. Cut the Rope uses Crystal for leaderboards and achievements.</p>
<p>We love the fact that this game has the option to reset it! So if you want to play it again or someone else that has access to your device wants to its really simple! They also have 4 languages to choose from: English, Russian, German, and French. We really like the fact that the developer consistently provides updates and adds additional boxes. Since the developer is owned by Electronic Arts, we know that they definitely have the funds and dedications to continue to update the app.</p>
<p>Overall, we would like to give Cut the Rope a perfect 5/5 stars! I would definitely recommend buying this app! As of August 2011, Cut the Rope costs $1.01 for Android, $0.99 for iPhone/iPod and $1.99 for iPad!</p>

<p>Does the word Tapulous ring a bell? &nbsp;If it doesn&#8217;t, they are the creators of some of the most finest iPhone apps like&nbsp;<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284972147&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">Tap Tap Revenge</a>, <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=290822439&amp;mt=8">Collage</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284967867&amp;mt=8">Twinkle</a>; just to name a few, and they just created another app called &nbsp;<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=298120834&amp;mt=8">Tap Tap Dance</a>. &nbsp;The app is very polished and is a &#8220;<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/steve-jobs-calls-blu-ray-a-bag-of-hurt/">bag of fun!</a>&#8221; <img src='http://teencastic.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . &nbsp;I don&#8217;t really see where the whole &#8220;dance&#8221; idea fits in there because it seems like a better version of Tap Tap Revenge, but still it is a pretty sensational app. &nbsp;Like my review of <a href="http://teencastic.wordpress.com/2008/12/07/motionx-poker-quest-review/"><strong>MotionX Poker Quest</strong></a>, &nbsp;I will divide this review into parts. &nbsp;The parts are <em>Graphics</em>, <em>First Impressions, Reuse Value, </em>and <em>Final Verdict</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Graphics:<br />
</strong>We have seen a lot of Tapulous&#8217; apps, and saying that they look nice is a huge understatement, and Tap Tap Dance stays up to par. &nbsp;The game user interface (UI) is really straightforward and pretty nice looking. &nbsp;They also got creative with this one by putting really cool decorative designs during gameplay. &nbsp;The graphics are nice, but it is a little coarse and rough when playing a song, especially in two player mode. &nbsp;Knowing Tapulous, this will probably be fixed in a upcoming update.<br />
<strong>First Impressions:<br />
<span style="font-weight:normal;">When you open Tap Tap Dance, the interface looks a little bare. &nbsp;It only has three buttons labeled <em>One</em> <em>Player</em>, <em>Two</em> <em>Player</em>, and <em>Options</em> <em>&amp;</em><em> Tutorial</em>. &nbsp;When you click on the <em>One Player</em>&nbsp;or <em>Two Player</em>&nbsp;button, it opens up a nice little check list of 4 songs. &nbsp;You have to complete the first 3 songs with an accuracy of 85% or higher to unlock the last song of each level. &nbsp;Personally, I like this strategy better compared to the app Tap Tap Revenge, because it gives you something to <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">work</span> &nbsp;&nbsp;play for. &nbsp;<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-202" title="menu-taptapdance" src="http://teencastic.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/menu-taptapdance.jpg" alt="menu-taptapdance" width="320" height="480" />&nbsp;<br />
When playing a song, you are greeted with a interface similar to Tap Tap Revenge, only waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better. &nbsp;The scenery is different for the last song of each level. &nbsp;The basic interface is shown below:<br />
&nbsp;<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-204" title="primary-taptapdance" src="http://teencastic.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/primary-taptapdance.jpg" alt="primary-taptapdance" width="320" height="480" />Now, you might be thinking that this is no different from Tap Tap Revenge, but believe me, you will feel the difference. &nbsp;Gameplay is way funner (yes, I know that isn&#8217;t a word) when compared to Tap Tap Revenge because when you press on the dot or circle at the correct time, it emits a beautiful looking wave&nbsp;confirming&nbsp;that you hit it. &nbsp;It also keeps the beat of the song.<br />
<strong>Reuse Value<br />
</strong>My favorite category I like to review is how many times I use the application because there are some really nice iPhone apps that I have, but &nbsp;I never use them, and personally, I think that this game is addicting all the way through. &nbsp;I was opening this app at bus-stops, during lunch breaks, basically whenever I got the chance. &nbsp;Therefore, I think that this app has a very high reuse value.&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Final Verdict:</strong>&nbsp;<br />
With awesome graphics, fun game play, and awesome songs to jam to, Tap Tap Dance gets 4.5 out of 5 stars. &nbsp;Tapulous justs needs to remove some bugs.&nbsp;</span></strong></p>
