Tilt to Live HD for iOS

Tilt to Live HD is a game that challenges you to avoid the evil red dots that pop up endlessly all over the screen while using orbs to destroy as many as you can. Guiding your spaceship is just a matter of tilting your iPad in the direction you want it to go, but staying alive is quite difficult.

Pros

Positioning options: Before you begin a new game, you can choose from four positioning options for your iPad. These let you hold the device in whatever position is most comfortable for you at the moment, and ensure that your ship responds the way you want it to as you play.

Responsive controls: Because guiding your ship through the minefield of red dots in this game requires pinpoint accuracy at times, it's important that the controls respond the way you want them to. This game delivers on that promise, as a slight tilt left, right, up, or down will result in a corresponding movement on the screen.

Cons

Steep curve: The difficulty quickly increases in this game. If you're not used to these types of controls or haven't played similar games, it may be a bit frustrating until you get the hang of it.

Position adjustment: Since the controls are so sensitive, and you do select your preferred device positioning ahead of time, you can't change position in the middle of a game. This isn't too much of an issue, as games generally don't last too long.

Bottom Line

Tilt to Live HD is a fun and addictive game that offers a lot of exciting options for gameplay. You can download the trial version for free, which includes only the Classic gameplay mode. If you'd like to unlock the four additional modes, one of which opens the game up to two players, you'll have to upgrade to the full version for $4.99.
