Latest reviews of Ear Monsters: A 3D Audio Game app for iPhone and iPad
The game is really great, "except for the ticking time bombs. ---The Blind Lady, B B and B
This audio game is awsome.
Great game, very addictive. Im off to play right now.
So many games are based on visuals. This feels like Angry Birds but with sound. Its great to use my ears for a change and it is not too frustrating and builds difficulty well also. Give this a shot!
Very unique game. It sort of feels like Fruit Ninja, but with sound. I like how the better I get at the game, the harder it gets. Please add GameCenter support, though so I can beat other high scores. Achievements would be good, too.
