Bounty Hunter: Space Detective

Cute little time-waster. For $1.50 (sale) you can't go too wrong. It's basically Where's Waldo but with moving parts and a different target each time. It is the same thing over and over again with more of everything as the levels get harder. The backgrounds also switch from dark to light which can really mess with you depending on the ships you're assigned to look for. Even on Easy mode, I was alternating between finding my target instantly to staring at the screen for the entire time limit and never once seeing any of the ships I was looking for thanks to the background being a color that camouflaged the ONE little thing that would have made my targets stand out on a different background. Hard mode really amps up the number of ships (from 400 to 800) scrolling across the screen and gives you more targets to keep an eye out for. Everything moves faster, too.

Basically this is a cheap, fun game that is easy to pick up and put down and it is a bit different other games I've played. I find Space Detective to be quite chal...
