Even after many plays it's still a little iffy. The control area is so small that it takes quite a while to get used to rolling a ball accurately. For one, I'm not really convinced that a game like this translates well to the iPhone. This is surely to be a hit with those gamers that like to gather prizes.

With this game you can also redeem the tickets you earn for in game trinkets, just like you can on the boardwalk. The goals include targets for the number of points or knocking down a certain number of a kind of target on the game.

The game builds on the basic game play by having not only points and tickets, but also trophies and goals for each different game. In addition, there are currently two add on packs that you can buy, each including 2 new games, for $0.99 each via in-app purchasing. These include clowns, a very nice re-creation of Space Invaders, sea creatures, and even icons. This game re-creates the classic by giving some new and imaginative targets to the end of the ramp. The more points you score, the more tickets you get. In most skee ball games, and Ramp Champ included, you get tickets. The game where you roll balls up a long ramp onto a slanted board with holes in it, each with point values. Ramp Champ is a recreation of the boardwalk classic Skee Ball. These two companies have teamed up and developed Ramp Champ. They are mainly a third party app development house producing iPhone apps for other companies. DS Media Labs have brought us such games as Light Riders and the uh, how to put it, not so well received Eminem's Relapse. In addition they have designed some amazing iPhone apps for other companies. The Iconfacotry have created such fantastic iPhone title as Twitterrific, and Frenzic. But then again, building anticipation for an app is something that DS Media Labs and Iconfactory have done so well in the past, why not do it again? Unfortunatly to me, the build up doesn't match the pay-off. Rarely have we seen such anticipation for a game from indie developers.

Ramp Champ, a reimagined skee ball game from DS Media Labs and Iconfactory finally showed up in the App Store today.
