I was lucky enough to preview Cash Cow a few days before it was released at the App Store, and it feels like I haven’t put it down since I loaded it for the first time. I’ve been enthralled by it, fascinated with it. Every free moment I have (and some that aren’t so free), I’ve been counting up change like a busy cashier that’s hepped up on goofballs.

It’s a match 3-esque game that’s not like a match 3 game at all; instead of matching similar adjacent objects, the goal is to combine smaller coins to make bigger ones and eventually dolla’ bills. I know – doesn’t sound exactly like a killer time, but you’ll be surprised at how immersed you’ll find yourself. At the start it’s a breeze, but soon you have you less time to think and things really get interesting. I’m presently stuck on level 25.

In addition to some intensely compelling and addictively gameplay at its foundation, Cash Cow runs much deeper with a touching barnyard storyline. Pinch all your pennies into greenbacks so you can pay your mortgage and hang on to the farm, and use whatever’s left to spruce up your surroundings.

Although Cash Cow was first a PC game, it feels like it was born and bred for the iPhone. Its interface and your trigger finger make magic when they’re together, creating a marvelous cacophony of strangely catchy tunes and stimulating sound effects.

Buy this one right away.

Score: 5.0 stars out of 5.0

Get Cash Cow.
