Appletell reviews Arachnadoodle and Star*Burst for iPhone, iPod touch

Arachnadoodle is a charming throwback to the arcade games of my youth, but with better graphics. It takes a simple premise—a spider building a web to catch flies—and makes it goofy and fun with bright colors, surprisingly difficult gameplay, and heartless rules. Speaking of arcade throwbacks, Star*Burst reminds me of KLAX, the classic game where you have to catch an endless progression of colored tiles sliding down a conveyor belt and arrange them in rows, columns, and diagonals.
