I really enjoyed the first Topple on the iPhone from ngmoco:), but Topple 2 runs like Crysis on a Commodore 64. It’s currently on sale for $0.99 at the App Store, so I snatched it up right away expecting to be entertained for quite a while. Unfortunately, after getting through the first challenge, I’m not going back until there’s an update. The game runs like it need a 5x faster processor.

The menus and the game all bring my iPhone 3G to a crawl. I’m sure it’s fine on the 3GS, but that’s no excuse for having the game run so slow.

So, buyer beware and stay away from Topple 2 for now, even though it’s on sale. I love ngmoco:) and they make some awesome iPhone games, but this one needs some more work. I’m sure the gameplay is solid, I just can’t actually play it properly.
