...in ~2008 when I was 12 playing it on my brand new iPod touch on the school bus every morning (when I wasn't showing off the beer app you "drank" to friends). It didn't age very well, mostly just because of how mobile games have evolved/improved; Billy Frontier feels slow and because of how repetitive most of the gameplay is, incomplete. I didn't know that at 12'since I think this was the first app I ever downloaded- I searched my own name first (Billy) + immediately downloaded this game. I didn't stop playing each morning on the bus until I finally beat it a few weeks later.
I'm still giving it a 5/5 because it definitely was a 5/5 for it's time even if now it only serves as a time capsule to show how mobile gaming has progressed (or regressed, depending on the game)in the past 15 years. This is less of a review + more of a eulogy for one of the OG mobile games that went beyond snake/Pong or mahjong/chess
