| Hey guys, sorry for the long hiatus from not making reviews. I do have some somewhat valid reasons for it...
1. I have thought of an all new idea for my reviews so I have been figuring out how I will do it. I am not revealing anything right now, but when it's ready, I will immediately reveal it!
2. I've been waiting for some more users to get on.
3. I've been a little lazy/busy. 
So here we go...
---------------------------------------------
Everyone loves ice cream. And I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that vegetables and ice cream don't mix. Scoops is that delicious ice cream mini game for the iPhone. It almost makes you want to actually go get some ice cream. I actually have some in front of me right now...
Scoops is simply amazing. As one of the first apps on the App Store, it still fails to bore me after all this time. The objective of the game is to, literally, reach the stars in space by getting scoops of ice cream on your ice cream cone by turning your device towards them and get the highest possible score as you can before you run out of lives. Any vegetables that drop on your cone takes away lives. Either way, no one likes a big onion on their ice cream!
 (¡No me gustan verduras en mi helado!)
There's more to just simply picking up scoops though. Rainbow scoops clone the previous scoop you picked up, and scoops with stars on them give you another life. The more of the same kind of scoop of ice cream you pick up, the better the multiplier. Or you can just pick up many scoops of ice cream without picking up a vegetable to get a very high score multiplier.
 (My ice cream cone is so high it reaches space!)
In addition to the simple, but fun, gameplay, there are other little things that make this game a must-have. The music in the background is peaceful and goes well with the simpleness of the game. If you want a break from the class ice cream theme, there are also other themes you can get, like the free Sky Burger theme.
The graphics do their job very well in this app with great physics and such; in addition, Scoops works smoothly on basically any version of the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Overall, this is a must-have app. Even though this app could be considered old and dusty, it blows away apps that top today's Top 25 list. Honestly, I won't be reviewing Free games much since there is no loss when downloading a free game, but I have done it today just to promote the game. I have enjoyed this game ever since I first got it two years ago, and getting a better score still draws me to playing the game. Since this game is free, why not pick it up? |

| I'd have to suggest Sky Burger. Same concept, but you have orders and achievements to go for. It is pretty much exactly Scoops, even by the same developer, but with building burgers.

Great game! I will most likely end up reviewing that game in time too. Good suggestion! |

| Good review! I've had this game for a year, but haven't played it for a while. This might get me going again! |
