Iván De Cabo, who developed Steve over the course of one weekend, called it “ultra-casual.” What that means in practical terms is that you can go from looking at a locked phone to playing the game in about two seconds. Its key virtue: You can play it without unlocking your phone.Īfter you install the app, it walks you through how to add Steve to your iPhone or iPad’s Notification Center, the menu of mini-apps that appears when you swipe from the top of the phone down. 37 at the time of this writing, more popular in the “free” category than Skype, Google Chrome or Yelp, is an app called Steve – The Jumping Dinosaur Widget Game. If you think no one has ever thought those thoughts, then take a look at the iPhone charts right now. I have all these games on my iPhone, but typing in my password is so much work! However with the success they have included more characters and more interesting backgrounds.Oh, man. We can only interact with the dinosaur in one way, jumping by pressing on the screen. With a rather simple mechanism, is all you can ask for. Steve - The Jumping Dinosaur will allow us to play directly from the Notification Center, don't waste time starting it.Īpple begins to be a little less restrictive with its policy of functions in the Notification Center, although a year ago it did not allow even a simple calculator, now we are even curious games like this that have become a success in the App IOS Store, playing has never been so easy and fast. This game has been adapted in a very interesting way for iOS, and is that as in Google Chrome, we are going to use it in those moments where starting a game is too heavy but we want to entertain ourselves for a few minutes. As many of you will know, in Google Chrome we find a kind of quick and easy game that comes up when we don't have a connection and is activated by pressing the space when we are in front of the connection error screen.
