    I think it's great when a game has levels that may take a few tries to complete, because you aren't able to rush through it and be bored.

    The gameplay is not only intuitive and challenging but it's also engaging. The graphics are crisp, the animations are beautifully done and I can't stop humming that catchy tune in the game. Go grab a copy of Bucketz to test your reflexes and see if you can become a master of balance. I can't think of a better way to spend two dollars.

    A simple game of flicking and balance brought to life through great visuals, fun voicework, and a load of personality.

    Bucketz is a hyperactive game full to the brim of bright ideas, but its attempts at variation and humour can be a little overwhelming.

    I bought this game when I saw it featured on app store, really not knowing what it was about. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. It's basically a game about keeping a scale with a bunch of bucketz (!) in balance until the end of the level by stuffing items in them. However these bucketz come alive on my ipad like no other character ever did before. They are fully talkative, fun characters reacting to everything on screen, even when I get a star... The gameplay starts easy and every level a new surprise is introduced. I am in 3rd level pack now and it gets more and more challenging. The various minions and the Boss fights are also tough but they are funny as well... I think this game is a work of some truly genius talented people. Graphic design and music (catchy stuff been whistling it at school) is cool too. Happy to see a brand new style of game from this company I didn't hear about before. Wonder what a Picnic Hippo is..… Expand

    That's an excellent game! Awesome graphics, funky tunes and talkative characters. There a lot of characters both good and bad guys. The minions are my favorites. I'm still smiling while I'm writing this. You get a lot for the price. Don't think, get it!… Expand
