Amazon’s Free App of the Day - Yumsters

written by: Nick Kosmides

Yumsters is free today from Amazon.  A game about worm-like creatures stretching across the playing field in an effort to gobble up random pieces of fruit that appear from nowhere. I could only play this for maybe 10 minutes before it became boring.  The gameplay mechanic is a big odd to.  Why these pearl necklace looking worms are eating so much fruit seems to be the afterthought.  What is the purpose other than to consume, or is that what the app is reminding us of.  That we are just sheep lined up to be sheered of our hard earned cash?

The UI reminds me of a cell phone game from the 90's.  Even typing my name in at the start of the app was made difficult due to extremely tiny font on my 4" OLED screen.

Yumsters is fun for a fling, but not much else.
