QuitIt! is an entertaining, stress-relieving game.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to poke Lumpy, a cute litte blue alien from the planet Zgrunturos.  The game itself, is set up as a virtual game show and you win money by poking the expressive Lumpy.

What do you do with this cold, hard cash you ask?  Well you buy stuff for Lumpy!  Right now the game’s store is stocked with a variety of zany pokers and questionable gifts.  The developers are actively coming up with more content right now including more pokers, gifts, and holidays.

You’ll have to constantly make more cash because each of these fancy pokers is only good for a limited number of pokes and then, poof, it’s gone.  However, re-purchasing a poker will give it more “poketasticness” and Lumpy will be more likely to spit out multiple coins when you use it.

Gifts are another entertaining aspect to this game.  Each one costs various amounts of money and are certainly not what I would want to see under a Christmas tree.

For example, let’s buy Lumpy an exotic tropical fish.  How fun!

Ooooh, the excitement! 

…and the agony of disappointment.

Better luck next time, Lumpy.

The game is also stock full of holidays which will change the appearance of Lumpy’s room.  You can also purchase custom holidays as well…Lumpy’s pad will get a makeover on my birthday.  Here is Lumpy enjoying National Lasagna Day…yup, that’s a real holiday.

Gameplay
Playing the game is super simple.  At the Main Menu you are presented with different selections including Options to control music and sound effects, the Store where you buy pokers, gifts, and holidays; and a How to Play to explain the game’s basics.  Press Play to get to the fun.

In the game screen, simply tap on Lumpy to get the current poker to poke him.  Swipe over Lumpy in an arc to reposition the poker for more poking fun.  Various motivational signs will appear to let you know that you’re doing well, and if you watch carefully Lumpy’s window scene actually changes with the time of day.  Your accumulated money is shown in the upper right and when you have enough funds, press Menu in the lower left to bring up different options.  From here you can return to the Main Menu, go to the Store, or visit your Poker storage area if you have any specialty pokers that still have some pokes left on them.

Overall
Pros:
-fun game show theme including zany music
-great cartoony graphics/animation and well done sound effects
-fun pokers and gifts to purchase

Cons (not detriments, just more content stuff I’d love to see):
-purchased pokers need more pokes before they are used up
-needs a fun statistics page – total pokes, pokes for each poker used, number of times each gift is given, etc
-need more stuff to buy in the store, like custom rooms with items to purchase to decorate it

QuitIt! is highly entertaining and great for a little stress relief.  Just give Lumpy a few pokes, earn some cash, and discover the gift of giving.
