    GoatUp does not look or sound that great, but it still has a great retro appeal. The most important feature of GoatUp are the controls, and they are also the best aspect of the app.

    Utilizing a style that more closely resembles Super Mario Land for the OG Gameboy and pretty tight controls to match, Stardash is a fiendishly fun offering that has the bite to back up its bark.

    The game remains a lot of fun and stockpiling a bunch of alternative spheres and unleashing them in one epic battle can be a blast. GameCenter integration provides global leaderboards and 3 dozen achievements to earn.

    The graphics are average, the music is ok, and the controls are pretty good, though the touch controls (which are superior to the joystick) often leave you peering around your fingers to see the level.
