TUAW's Daily App: No, Human

No, Human is an intriguing little morsel of gameplay for both the iPhone and the iPad. The clever premise is that humans are planning to go out and explore the Universe, and the Universe, in turn, has decided that's not a good idea. So, you're actually playing against humans, lobbing fiery meteors out into space to destroy human-created objects like space stations and rockets.

The gameplay is simple but fun, and the graphics are minimalistic but quite stylish. There are 50 levels to go through, and while they're pretty quick plays, there is a high score board element. The developer also promises that there are more levels on the way. (Knowing humans as I do, I'm guessing that they won't get the lesson.) All in all, No, Human is an inventive title that's worth the US$1.99 on the App Store. It's not really innovative in any specific way, but as a whole package, it's a pleasure to play through and figure out.

Fantastic game. Stylish, funny, simple, yet challenging. Satisfying!
Well worth $2.

Maybe it's Jacqueline DuPrÃ© playing the Elgar on EMI?

The concerto was written by Edward Elgar, but I have no idea who's performing in this particular track. Could be Yo Yo Ma. But I could be mistaken. A fantastic piece of music, nonetheless.

You could look for a vintage recording by Jacqueline du Pre, who was famous for her interpretation of the concerto.

I don't know - at $1.99, NHL 2k11 for the iPhone set the bar pretty high :)

"So, you're actually playing against humans (who are lobbing fiery meteors out into space)"

From the trailer, and the rest of your description, it sounds like the humans aren't the ones lobbing fiery meteors out into space, but the player, as the universe, is the one lobbing fiery meteors at the humans.
