**Win One Of A Few Copies To Give Out… FREE!**
If Pocket God’s thought us one thing, that is to be able to mess around with digital pets. 2n Productions attempt to just that with this game.
QuitIt! ($2.99)
It all starts with a blue bob with some diva attitude named Lumpy. Lumpy’s sort of a celebrity – stage performer, call him whatever you like. It doesn’t really matter at all since you’re the king (or queen), and you get to poke him endlessly. You get different pokers to poke as much money out of him in this riotously fun and wicked little game.
Lumpy’s A Drama Queen!
I thought I’d mention this unique PR approach 2n is taking with their game, and developers reading this should listen. Find something that’s cool and stick with it! I can forward some of “Lumpy’s Tranmissions” from his manager aka the developers. The structure of the emails is exactly like what a manager would do for his client. He speaks of Lumpy in the third person as well as responds in the third person.
One word of advice: I get a lot of PR’s per day. You gotta find a way to stand out, no matter how you do it.
Presentation
The presentation is pretty fantastic actually AND in rhythm with our site’s theme. The title logo has flashy bulbs around it, a wooden stage, red curtains… sort of like an Opera. Ahem! If you didn’t already know, APPera is derived from the word Opera thus the site’s theme and pronounciation.
One design choice to note, and I don’t know if it’s coincidence or not, is how the colors used are a little paler than usual…. probably to counteract the avante-gard-ness of the whole theme.
Gameplay
I feel a little dirty using the word gameplay since technically QuitIt! isn’t a real game. Although I’d argue that Pocket God isn’t really REALLY a real game nor an app. QuitIt! is the same where its sort of in the middle between being an app and a game.
The goal of the game, or the app… or an appgame, is to mess with Lumpy through poking. To poke Lumpy, all you need to do is tap him practically anywhere of his soft blue body. This little kid shows a wide variety of emotion from delighted to sad and just plain weird.
Lumpy either spits out popcorn (I know!), black smoke (LOST!) or coins. Disregard the previous two, coins are what you need. These coins can be used to purchase new pokers like pencils, bananas, the Statue of Liberty (I know again!!). These purchased pokers however stronger than the plain hand they may be… are not infinite.
On top of the pokers, gifts can also be given to our little star Lumpy as well. You can give him meat, toys etc etc etc. The only caveat is that the gifts may or may not be something Lumpy would want. You’ll get meat sometimes, or if you’re unlucky: a dead animal!
Lastly, holidays can be purchased for higher price tag when I guess Lumpy gets a full birthday celebration or even his own celebratorial break-up party. Yes folks, Lumpy can be a little self damage inflicting sometimes.
Suggestion
Let’s take the game a step further with these:
- Customize Lumpy. Ability to change colors and alter shape.
- Gifting of Pokers through a friends list.
- A portfolio of different “Lumpys” around your area or of your friends. In other words, plug in a whole social aspect for the game. Give us the ability to show off our $$$ amounts and just how ballin’ OUR Lumpy is than YOUR Lumpy.
Conclusion
The price tag is sadly what some people call “premium” in a world of $0.99 games and apps. If you’re feeling the game through our video, this review and screenshots, then most definitely get it. Please keep in mind that the game doesn’t have minigames or a “game” of some full capacity. I thought I’ve been clear on that but just wanted to reiterate.
Just with Pocket God, QuitIt! provides an escape from reality where you can unleash your hatred towards your boss without getting fired (or jailed). It’s a digital stress reliever and trust me, Lumpy will keep you VERY entertained.

One leg with their shoes to kick Lumpy
Incandescent iron horseshoes for the animals
Poke him with a zombie Steve Job’s hand because we all know that Lumpy has a zombie fetish.
On another note.. Might want to check over the first 2 sentences James – they don’t sound quite right. I believe you’re missing a “do” in the second sentence. 2n Productions attempt to ‘DO’ just that with this game.
How about a 2×4?
Ummm…….can the object be NSFW? ><
NOPE!
I’d like to poke Lumpy with a Sock Monkey…I mean come on, who doesn’t love Sock Monkeys???
Definitely a light saber. I wonder if Lumpy’s rubbery like skin burns or not
If so, maybe I can draw a “Z” similar to Zorro. he he
How about using a blow torch LOL and watch Lumpy change color till it can’t take no more and burst in flames?
A wiffle ball bat.
a penis
LOL. Enter a new one. only SFW ones
a frying pan
an elaphant trunk that spews the roasted peanuts of death
A vacuum… If you hold it on him long enough… It sucks him in.
@MIni Me
Hmm, zombie hand. Steve Jobs angle is a nice touch.
BTW, Lumpy just texted us and says the NSFW suggestions are making him nervous. But probably not as nervous as the Tazer we’ve got in store for him in Episode 2.
A fish zapper (I think thats what you call it) on the highest power
Defianatley want to poke him with a chainsaw and see his tiny blue body fly into pieces!! Getting gossebumps just thinkin bout it.
Poke him with trident! Or sick some wild dogs on him!
A monster truck that you can roll over him!
LMAO guys! The question was what will you POKE him with! Not decapitate (chainsaw) or flat iron (truck) or anything else.
I’ll give you another chance. Send some sensible, funny and SFW pokers!!!
Hmmm. A fish stick
I’ve got a great one that I know will win because I really want a promo code for this game! Really. Want Game! Okay, here it is…… A stick completely covered in snot and doggy doo-doo! If I win, and I really hope I do, PLEASE email the code to iphoneappcrazy@aol.com Thanks!!!!!!!
umm…poke him with a Palm Pre.
but not sure if that would do anything.
Poke him with a Sausage or Hot Dog, but no bun . . . it’s better that way.
Alright… with the wiffle ball bat, Lumpy raps, ” I did like this, I did it like that…”
And super-secret unlock after you finally poke him so that he raps he spits out a license to ill:
Brass Monkey! And yes, Lumpy raps in his way a line every time you poke him with the Brass Monkey.
That funky Lumpy.
OK then… a deer head with the antlers! Like the one that u hang on a wall
Poke him with Khalid Shaikh. Or maybe we give lumpy a stick and let HIM poke Khalid!
Lumpy says he’s uncomfortable with the idea of being poked by Khalid or poking him.
Lumpy’s all about getting along with the people of Earth. He certainly doesn’t want what happened in that documentary film D9 to happen to him…
@2n – Yas: heheh, ok I try again..
how ’bout being poked with a blast of water from a hose? or maybe a super soaker?
A mop could be very funny
