Tickling Cat

Tickling Cat App for iPhone
     Don't get confused... This application is not a cat that tickles you, as the name would imply... But in fact a cat that you tickle.  Which should truly be called 'Ticklish Cat' or 'Tickled Cat', 'Tickle the Cat', 'Tickle a Cat'... or even 'Tickle cat'.
     The application is really and truly very simple.  You poke/swipe the cat in the belly... It wriggles about in glee.  The bar at the top fills.  At the end the cat gives a response to your tickles.
     The two responses I have seen seem to be exhaustion and friskiness.  They are depicted by the screen captures I have provided below.
     I'm not entirely sure what the point of this application is.  There's no challenge or goal, other than just "tickle the cat numerous times to fill the top bar".  In my opinion it is very cute... but also quite boring  But this is of course my own opinion.  Perhaps you truly enjoy watching a simple animation of a cat roll from side to side, over and over again.  Perhaps it could give you hours of entertainment value.  But chances are, that is not the case.

     Now, mind you... It isn't a 'bad application'.  It's just too basic.  It's not poorly programmed.  The animation is smooth and the artwork is cute.  The idea is interesting and seems original.  I just believe they should have added enough depth to allow for this application to be not only adorable but actually entertaining as well (For more than one minute).
     The fact that such a simplistic application has banners at the bottom almost adds insult to injury, but I try not to judge it negatively too much, as it 'is' a free app.
     So, in closing.  Very cute.  Very boring.  Very free.  Very probably not worth the download.
