As far as sharp looking iOS games go, Hungry Oni must be one of the most dazzling Iāve seen all year. And yes, I know itās only February. (It is only February.)
The game is the work of Andrzej Zamoyski, a former Lionhead Studios developer who moved to Japan to make video games. This is one of those games!

Catching a multi-colored falling leaf causes the treeās leaves to change colors. And since food of various colors fall at the same time, part of the game is to not only catch appropriately colored food, but to dodge food you cannot eat.
You create chains as you catch fruit in succession, unlocking bonus rounds. During the bonus round, you catch gold coins, which you can use to unlock new levels.
The gameplay is fairly interesting; the one pickle is that it was pretty easy to unlock the first level, but the difficulty curve for the second one is very steep. It felt a little too much, a little too soon. Whatās more, it made the gameplay feel more like a chore so early on. Yes, this is a free app, and yes, this is the pay wall, but I wish we were eased in a little bit better.
That all being said, Hungry Oni looks great, has a neat gameplay mechanic, and a snappy soundtrack. Itās worth checking out.
