This will be old news for a few of you, sure, but for most of us who allowed Pastagames' Pix'n Love Rush to slip into the abyss of our minds, it'll be new enough.
Reader neoREgen kindly reminded us that not only is the game out -- it has been for a while now, hence the preemptive "OLD!" -- it's also garnered many a favorable review and better yet, you can tell yourself "I'd buy that for a dollar" while downloading it -- it is, in fact, $0.99.
Intrigued? There are a bunch of video reviews of Pix'n Love Rush up on YouTube, or you can journey back to our previous coverage of the game which includes some old-fashioned shaky cam footage.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

There are a few games for iPhone that do an amazing job at getting around the dilemma of buttons- this is one of them. HookChamp and Super Quick Hook are others.
It definitely takes a great design to pull off.

The game only goes super red if you're doing really well. Colors change from a variety of retro aesthetics.
I liked the look of it from Jordan's first post and happened to stumble upon it thanks to metacritic's best iphone games of June article, currently up on their first page. It has a 91 metascore right now.
It can be a bit hard at times, but if that turns you off of it then you either don't have an iPhone or are a pussy. :P
But no matter how good it is, it's still an iphone game with an on-screen controller. There's no feedback letting me know whether I'm pushing the right spot on the screen, resulting in lots of deaths.
