Inconceivable! iSperm for the iPhone / iPod touch

Every once in a while, an iPhone app shows up that we just have to review because of the name. Mobigem's iSperm (click opens iTunes) is one of those apps.

iSperm is an arcade game in which you, as a single sperm cell, battle other sperm and obstacles to reach your goal -- fertilizing an egg and creating a new life. There are three phases in the journey up the Fallopian tube:

  1. In this phase, you shake your iPhone to make your cell move faster than the other sperm;

  2. Here, you tilt the iPhone to avoid obstacles that are blocking your way to the egg;

  3. Finally, you tap on the iPhone's screen to speed up and make it to the egg before the others.

The game has a 12+ rating for Mild Suggestive Theme and Sexual Content, and the developers went out of their way to make the game cute and fun rather than raunchy. After all, who could be upset about a sperm cell wearing a bow tie and carrying a rose for his date? If you get good at iSperm, you can get bragging rights by having a score in the worldwide Top 10.

You can pick up iSperm for just US$0.99. It's a hoot!
