Huntville is similar to one of those festival games where the player shoots at various objects with a laser gun. It’s a jungle-themed iPad game in which a slingshot fires at various animals that are probably illegal to hunt (e.g. giraffes and elephants). While Huntville may not be the most enjoyable game, it has some awesome features that can't be overlooked.
Huntville is a “free to play” game that makes its money off of people buying “meat.” Meat and oranges (oranges are earned in levels) are the currency for various types of ammo and unlockable characters. It isn’t absolutely necessary to buy meat, which I appreciate. A player can get an almost equal amount of enjoyment from the game without spending money on in-game currency.
I only had one gameplay-related problem. I was told on some occasions that I had "run out of stamina," but there was no stamina bar to be found. It wasn't until about an hour later that I noticed that the slingshot itself was the stamina bar. If it's dark brown, the stamina bar is full, and when light brown, it's empty. Speaking of the stamina, it did NOT regenerate quick enough. With a game like this, the player has the urge to rapid fire stones. I don’t enjoy being told that I can’t.
