Elasticr for the iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

If you remember Gumby or Strech Armstrong (or heck, even saw The Incredibles) you know how important rubberband-like strecthing is to the superheres of the world. Now with Elasticr, you get to see how much fun it is to have that same ability. In Elasticr, you have to move your character (by pulling back, or stretching him) to a series of hand grips around the screen. Once you've made it to all of the handgrips, a magical portal will open, and take you to... the next level.

The game starts slow, but soon you will have many obstacles/drops to try to avoid. One aspect of the game is a bit confusing: on the lower left corner of the screen, you will see a series of five hearts. While these do indicate the number of lives you have, you'll find that falling off of any particular level doesn't "kill" you (the hearts remain) but you do have to start over.

Otherwise, the gameplay is fine; it's not a game that you'll sit and play for an hour at once, but for some quick fun it's not bad. The graphics and character could, and hopefully will, lead to a fuller game experience in the future.

Here's a look:
