This is a cute utility for telling how much battery life your device has left. All in all a little pointless since you can simply turn the battery percentage feature on... But this is a much cuter way of telling what's left.Battery Girl is a 17 year old girl named Michiru (Michelle). She will do different activities depending upon how much battery life your device has. Her 'energy level' is the same as your device's.
When you have a lot of battery life she does more physical things, like exercising. When you have less, she does more relaxing activities like eating doughnuts and walking about. When your device is connected to a power source she uses a foot pump to pump the battery energy bar up. Work that energy bar, Michiru!
Along with the energy bar, you also have a percentage amount at the top. At the bottom is a button with her face on it. This is how you interact with Michiru. Tap it to hear what she has to say. She makes little noises and sometimes says a few words. But her speech bubbles have full sentences.
There is also an information button at the bottom to learn about the application as well as the character. The exit button takes you back to the launch screen.At the launch screen you see two options. The Battery Room which is the main part of the application. The screen capture to the left if the battery room. It's the area of the application I just described. The other option is the Battery game.
The battery game is a lot like the bubble pop flash game you may or may not have run across on the internet. Basically you want to fill all the battery bars. A full battery bar explodes in 4 directions. The fragments hit the first other battery bar it comes in contact with, adding one point to each. Different coloured bars are for different directions. Green bars explode in North, South, East & West. The yellow ones explode in diagonal directions. North West, North East, South East & South West. Once a course is emptied, a new one will load, with more bars. You'll want to go fast, however, The large bar on the side will slowly go down. If it runs out of juice, it's game over. Completing battery bars will slowly fill it back up.I have added some screen captures below from the game mode.
When switching modes, you get a sort of 'load screen'. These are interesting pictures of Michiru. Running, fixing her hair and so on. It's just an interesting extra feature for the application. Personally I think it's cute.
This is a fun and cute application. You can leave it running to let you know what the battery life is at all times. But that seems a little silly. What I would like to see added is a clock feature. If it told you the time as well as the battery life, you could use it as a clock on your desktop as well as a way of knowing where your battery is. It would make this great application perfect, in my opinion.The artwork is good, Very clean and the colours work well. Visually appealing. The game is fun, and the high scores keep you wanting to do better and better. The character voice is cute. She speaks only in Japanese but all of the text is in English.
I'd recommend this application for people who like cute utilities or just for the game. However, if you're using for something legitimately useful then you might want to pass this one up and find something else to download. This is more for the cute appeal and the fun than for 'serious business' necessities.
