Juice Factory Gaming Screens

You can throw the clever off the top of the screen and gravity volition eventually bring it dorsum into play. If the clever leaves to the sides, you've lost that throw. Levels progressively become more challenging with obstacles to manuever around, bounce off of too as wooden obstruction that you tin stick your cleaver into.

The levels are challenging in both trying to determine the best course of attack and, at times, determining the timing of the throw when moving obstacles are present.

Juice Manufactory is advertisement supported with a banner ad running across the top of the screen. The only problem I had with the banner is that a few times when I stretched my throw too far, my finger touched the banner, sending me to my browser.

Stability wise, Juice Mill ran very smoothly with no glitches or bugs experienced.

Overall Impression

Juice Factory is an enjoyable, addictive game for your Windows Phone. The standard game has two capacity of play that total 84 levels. Add the race mode with two, ten level chapters and there is plenty of game time with Juice Factory.

Even if you lot blaze through all the levels in tape time, the claiming to improve your previous scores seems to pull you back in. While Fruit Ninja is more a game of speed, Juice Factory is more of a game of strategy. Juice Factory goes beyond just slicing and dicing fruit, you lot have to think your moves out to maximize your slicing and dicing.

The only nit I could find is that at times I accidentally hit the advert banner and blew any momentum I had with the game. Maybe if the banners were at the lesser of the screen information technology would aid avoid the adventitious presses. Either that or maybe a pay version that doesn't accept the ads?

Regardless, I remember if you give Juice Factory a effort, you lot'll notice it hard to put downs. Juice Factory is a free game and you can download it here (opens Zune) at the Marketplace.
