Mayhem

I’m not sure why this game is called “Mayhem,” because there’s very little mayhem going on here. Each level has several fruit people scattered about, and you have to toss candy to them by adjusting the angle and power of the thrower. The presentation is pretty darn cute, though, and the gameplay sounds like the kind of thing I would enjoy. Unfortunately, the controls suck all the fun out of it. It’s really, really hard to line up your shots. Sometimes, the arrow would point in the wrong direction from where my finger was and then would play stubborn when I tried to correct it. Other times, I was left trying to adjust the power gauge while my finger was covering it! There’s really no way to recuperate from situations like that, and many a candy was wasted due to finicky controls. Worse, though, is how the game would occasionally stop responding. After I finally managed to throw a piece of candy to another fruit guy, the game no longer accepted input from me, and I would be forced to reset the level. This happened multiple times. The concept is fun and shows a lot of promise, but overall, Mayhem is just too buggy.
