AndroidTapp.com Android Game Review:
Features:
Abduction! Android Game is Awesome! One of the best games that uses the accelerometer. Tilt your way up to be abducted by space aliens. Abduction features bonus points and little surprise boxes… but watch out! As some surprises bring goodies like “High Jumps”, “Safety Nets”, and extra points, while some bring “Crumbies”.
- High Jumps give your cow the ability to jump twice as high for a given number of jumps.
- Safety Nets save your hide one time if you jump out, yet keeps you in the game.
- Crumbies are land patches that you can only jump on once, so get it right the first time.
Gripe Alert: you have to download a separate app ”ScoreNinja” to share your high score (but this is a limitation of the Android OS… you can’t effectively share functionality with another app, only pass intents to another app). Without this app you will only be able to save scores local to the phone. After losing a game, you’re taken back to the options start-up screen to choose your difficulty level every time. It would be helpful to just play again.

Fun Factor & Addictive:
Abduction Android Game is very fun, addictive and challenging trying to get to the top… a great time-waster too. (I still haven’t beaten this game yet… have you? Brag about it or leave your high score in the Comments Below)
Graphics:
Though not PSP-like 3D graphics, Abduction has vivid vector graphics that appeal to the games cute theme. Plus you can toggle the graphic performance to game performance ratio in the Settings menu.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
Abduction Android Game is a cool accelerometer-based challenge. Vibration is activated when you hit a Crumbie surprise and jump on a patch of land.
Another limitation of the Android OS is the latency in sound delivery, that’s why you get a prompt when you want to turn sound on. At least the developers are considerate of this and give the user the option to trade of performance for gaming experience.
