[Free] Tofu go: save the lovely tofu from evil chopsticks

With the pixelicious graphics, Tofu go is a adorable game. Tap the tofu to jump over hot pot materials on the desk and eat tofu materials above to enlarge the size. Save the tofu from evil chopstick behind is your mission, go!

App Link: Tofu go
Price: Free
Rating: 4.5/5

Hungry people want to enjoy the hot pot and of course the lovely tofu would be one of the hot pot materials, so please help the last piece of tofu escape from the evil chopsticks! 

Before start playing the game, read the rule first:

As the tofu runs along the way, tap it to jump over hotpot materials on the desk. There are some tofu materials above such as saya mik or bean, tap to jump the tofu to eat those materials to enlarge the size. The larger the tofu is, the more obstacles he can overcome, even if tofu bumps into hot pot materials on the desk, he won't get smashed easily.

After having black saya milk, small tofu becomes super-size! Check the remaining number of tofu on the left down corner, the bean you've collected (20 beans for a life) and the distance on the right down corner.

Tofu would run over many desks, before a cliff ahead, you will see a warning, hold to get more energy to jump the tofu much higher, and since it's tofu, if you hold too long the tofu still would be smashed.

When the game is over, check out the distance you've gone and try again to make it better!

In the community, sync your Apps with AppZappPush first so that you are able to monitor them and share App info here, you can even make new friends via iPhone Apps, isn't it a wonder?

 Actually I like this option very much since it provides a digest of Apps per day, if I were the user interface designer, I would put more emphasis on this one so that users won't be dizzy while using for the first time. I remembered that Facebook used to adopt this kind of grid menu but give up and redesign the interface to make it simpler, maybe AppZappPush could refer to the new design of Facebook App.
