Sway is a great looking game for iPhone with a great platforming technique, but it suffers from bad play controls. You play the part of a frog who’s friends have been locked up and you need to rescue them and put your world back together. There are many levels each with their own challenges. You have to swing from platform to platform using the touch screen to swing left and right and gain your momentum. Therein lies the problem. To spin your character, you have to put your thumb/finger on the screen and rotate him around blocking your field of view. Also the game doesn’t give you any indication of when to release to actually make the jump or how far your character will jump. It’s a trial and error nightmare. When spiked blocks are introduced it becomes even more frustrating as you immediately die if you make contact. It’s an awesome effort by the developers and I hope they make another game with improved controls but if you like your iPhone and don’t want to break it in a fit of rage by throwing it across the room, you should probably leave this one alone.
