Whack Attack! Games contains two iPhone/iPod Touch games to choose from. The first game is Blast-a-mole and the second choice is Memory Attack. Blast-a-mole is very similar to the arcade game whack a mole, but in Blast-a-mole you need to hit moles with targets on their bodies and not every mole that pops out of a hole. Memory Attack is similar to Simon. Players have to remember the pattern of colors that light up and press them in that order.

Blast-a-mole may sound like a simple game, but it can be challenging. Players get three lives, which are represented by hearts. Three lives basically means you get three times you can hit a mole without a target on it before the game ends. The goal of the game is to accumulate as many points as possible by hitting moles. The game gets tricky by delaying when some of the targets are placed on the moles. Moles will pop up out of the hole and, initially, have no target on them and all of a sudden you look again and there is a target on the mole. Much like the big box version at the arcade, players have to hit the moles before they retreat back into their holes.

Believe it or not, there are levels in Blast-a-mole. The levels start out fairly simple to give you a chance to get use to the game play. As the levels progress, there are more holes that moles pop out of and the graphics get brighter and busier, which makes it harder to see the targets on the moles. Eventually, players have to turn the iPhone/iPod Touch horizontally to allow for more holes on the screen. The more holes on the screen the harder it is to hit all of the moles that pop up.

Memory Attack brought back great nostalgia for me. My favorite game growing up was a game called Simon. For those less fortunate people that did not grow up in the Simon era, Simon was a plastic toy that contained four different colored lights. Players had to hit the lights in the order the game did. Basically, you had to watch the pattern, memorize it and then repeat it. Memory Attack is the same game only the lights are on the iPhone/iPod Touch screen and not a plastic device. There are four lights, red, green, blue and yellow. Players have to hit the lights in the order they saw them light up. There is a sound that accompanies the light, which makes it a bit easier to remember the pattern. Players can use both senses, sight and sound, to remember the pattern.

Points are not the only goal for both games. As a side bonus, players earn tickets by playing the games. The tickets can be used to buy different themes and sounds for the two games. If players can manage to save enough tickets, they can purchase another game as well. Players have to accumulate 5,000 tickets to open the third game.

The graphics are great for both games. The moles are clear and the target can be seen easily, except in the harder levels, but that is done on purpose to make it more challenging. The lights on Memory Attack are bright and when the light lights up there is a swirl that goes across the light making it easy to discern the light is on.

Whack Attack! Games offers a lot of fun and challenge. Players get two games for the price of one. Whack Attack! Games is a great way to pass the time and well worth the $1.99.
