Hetalia Chibi Carnival

Hetalia Chibi Carnival App for iPhone
     This is a cute mini game based off of a Japanese cartoon and comic series.  It features characters from various countries around the world.  The comic is distributed via Tokyo Pop if you wish to take a look into reading up on some of these characters.
     This is a free game.  It's simple enough and you can win cute wallpapers for your phone by doing well in the game.  The wallpapers feature the characters from the game (The cartoon and comic characters).
     You will see 3 rows of boxes.  Each box will have either a character's face or a flag inside of it.  They scroll to the side.  The bottom scrolls fastest.  The middle less so, and the top row scrolls by slowest.
     At the bottom, below these rows, you will see a box with a single character or flag inside, as well as a timer, your level and total accumulated points.
     There is also a help button for instructions; an about button for information about Hetalia (Character origins and so on); a pause button; a home button and a sound disable button.
     Your goal is to click as many boxes that match the box shown at the bottom, in the amount of time on the timer.  You can not make the boxes scroll faster.  It's alright if you miss some of the clickable boxes, this will not deduct any points.  You 'can' have points deducted by clicking the wrong box.  If you are shown a French flag and click on a German flag by mistake, you lose points.
     When you have accumulated enough points and reach certain level you will get a pop up that tells you that you've done a "Great Job" and offers you a wallpaper.  You can either choose to receive this wallpaper or ignore it and keep playing.  the first play through you should accept them.  The continue playing button if for when you already have the wallpaper you're winning.  When you tell it to save the wallpaper you will be shown the picture you are winning, and then it will go back to the game.  You start off where you left off.
      If you don't earn enough points come time to level you will get a "Game Over".  It will tell you how many points you have earned, the level you were at when you lost and your previous high score.  It will also ask if you wish to try again.
     Below are some samples of the wallpapers you can win through playing this game.

     I think it's a cute, fun and simple game.  No complicated bits to figure out.  It's a nice way to waste a little time in a waiting room, or spend more time to try and get the complete wallpaper collection.  I am not familiar with the cartoon but the artwork is very cute and clean.  The game runs smoothly, no glitches or crashes.  It's a solid application, and well worth the download.
