JadeDragon's reviews and playing tips: Palm OS games

Geki-Buggy, by Tako2 Brand Palmware $5
Reviewed April 2002

You'll race a dune buggy through a long sand course as you avoid other buggies, flying rockets, falling rocks, all the while trying to get on speed pads, bridges and jump ramps. Geki-Buggy provides you with a unique racing experience that's fun and full of action. Geki-Buggy has Tako2's signature graphics: not huge and fancy, but cute and effective. There are 3 stages and 3 difficulty levels. For the low price, Geki-Buggy is a perfect game if you have a few minutes to kill.

Playing Hints and Tips
Keep your accelerate button on at all times, move your left/right button to avoid obstacles and get on the right path. Make sure you get onto speed pads with green arrows on them, bridges and jump ramps, because you will need them to finish the game or get high score. Try not to bump into other buggies, as that will slow you down as well.

Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):

Graphics It doesn't have the best looking graphics, but the aerial view works very well for this game.
Sound It doesn't have a lot of sound effects, but it has different sound corresponding your different speed, which will help you a lot in game play.
Fun Meter If you like racing games, this is "quick and dirty" one for you. Racing courses are packed with actions; you really can't take your eyes off of it for a second. Controls are smooth and easy to get used to.
Addictivity The races are not long but they're addictive. Replay value is quite high for the price of the game.
