James Porter is on a roll. His company, JP Squared, is responsible for some of our favorite oddball apps on the entire iTunes store. While we question his decision to do business under his own name–which he happens to share with a notorious Catholic-priest-cum-child-molester–there’s no doubt that his apps are tons of fun. Tat My Face is an obvious winner, since who doesn’t love putting Mike Tyson ink on their grandmothers? And we’ll forever love his Geek Units for enabling us to convert US dollars to Galactic Spacebucks.
But Porter is also way into puzzle/trivia apps, having made (somewhat lame) games like What’s the Show and Hollow Words. His latest offering is called Brain Chain, and it’s another in a long line of picture puzzle games for Porter. But this one has a better gimmick than the ones that came before: all the answers rhyme.
That’s right, there’s finally a game for terrible poets and comic book demons everywhere! The name of the app, “Brain Chain,” serves as the baseline for all levels to come, since it’s the answer to level one. You see a picture of a brain wrapped in a purple chain, and need to type in the words “brain chain” to continue. As you keep playing, you’ll have to guess phrases like “whale scale” and “croc sock.” They’re mostly pretty easy with a few stumpers thrown in there.
Brain Chain doesn’t really hit any original notes, since it’s basically just another picture puzzle game with a static image, some hint boxes, and a letter bank. But it’s actually fairly fun due to the occasional moments of hilarity, like one level with two ears of corn humping with some censored space between them. The answer is “corn porn,” and folks, that’s straight up hysterical.
You can download Brain Chain on iTunes for a buck, and check out Brain Chain Answers for help on every level of the game.
