Soccer Save the Dog

Soccer Save the Dog is a simple but surprisingly addictive arcade game that tests your reflexes. The premise is charmingly bizarre: a dog has invaded a soccer field and you must help it survive a barrage of increasingly fast soccer balls. It’s the kind of game that is perfect for short breaks, offering an immediate challenge that requires nothing more than quick taps to move the dog out of harm's way.

While the concept is basic, the execution includes some nice touches like three difficulty levels and the ability to toggle ball collisions on or off. The Game Center support with six different leaderboards provides a good reason to keep coming back for 'one more try' to beat your high score. It’s a lightweight, universal app that works well on both iPhone and iPad, making it a fun distraction for kids and adults alike. It doesn't try to be more than a simple reflex tester, and in that regard, it succeeds.
