APPS: Neon tubes, brightly coloured spandex and fireballs on the tube

Fed up with reading the Metro cover to cover in five seconds flat on the way to work? Fear not, we know you’re all big kids at heart so we’ve got all the best iPhone apps to help keep your pecker up while you Do It In Public…

Ski On Neon – Free

Number one in the iTunes app chart is Ski On Neon this week, and we have the scoop on why it really is as cool as everyone says it is…

This game is ridiculously addictive and involves controlling a high speed skier (in a very bizarre outfit) as they jet through neon slopes. According to the makers there are three rules…

Rule #1. If you can’t do it on a neon tube, then it’s not worth doing!!
Rule #2. Strange brightly colored spandex suits are mandatory!
Rule #3. Anyone who does things well gets to turn into a fireball!!

And that pretty much sums it up! Ski on Neon is somewhat reminiscent of Lemmings but on skis, with the simplistic background and points sytem. You have the added features of getting involved in speed trials, the vertigo challenge or ski on randomly generated slopes each time. There is also a new ‘Pass and Play’ multi-player game-play which means you can challenge all your mates too.

Check it out in action here…

Here comes the science bit…

Global Cool wants you to lead a green and happy life. This article can help you to be green by:

1. Using public transport rather than the car.
2. Even better… walk or cycle if it’s convenient.
3. Whatever device you’re using to watch those videos, make sure you only leave it plugged in for as long as it takes to charge, not overnight.
