Features:
Weird title huh… did it catch your attention? Cows Don’t Fly is a unique game that combines the accelerometer (tilt left/right) and touch gestures to make your Cutie character jump in the direction of the pointer floating atop his head. Tip: longpress and Cutie will glide for a long jump in the direction he’s pointed. The objective is to collect as many items like stars and hearts in order to jump into the portal to complete the level while avoiding obstacles like spikes and water. There’s another game mode “Challenge” where you race the rising water to see how high you can jump using the friendly gravitational pulling orbs. The game has Open Feint to earn rewards, play to beat the best, and play with friends.

Fun Factor & Addictive:
Cows Don’t Fly is intriguing and packs a bit of a challenge so don’t let the Cutie and easy of the first few levels fool you. This is a good time-waster and geared towards the casual gamer.
Graphics:
The characters and world created and unique and interesting, however when played on a Nexus One it seemed a bit fuzzy, not as crisp as I would imagine it. Hopefully there’s a correction there in anticipation for more higher resolution Android phones and tablets.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
Cows Don’t Fly is all about the use of accelerometer to tilt and roll and has background music and sound effects (which can be toggled).
