Plaphoons are not what you'd expect if you're new to the game. A simple flash game that was not originally meant to be an addicting, time consuming activity. But after much time and testing, Plaphoons was finally released for Windows Phone 8 allowing users of this OS to play the addictive game on it. Now, the only problem is which one to download. I'm sure you've heard the saying "you get what you pay for" but in this case it's true.
The free application is pretty much just a glorified flash game. It does have a few nice features like a "search all content" option which allows you to go into specific topics and search all relevant content out there but these are pretty much just there to fill up space. And since you can't really compare the free game against the paid ones, most people end up just downloading the free version and giving up on trying to find something worthwhile in the paid versions. The application is full of pretty much old graphics that you might be familiar with from your childhood, so aside from the fact that you might not think the game is all that great you also don't have anything to show for it.
The other paid app gives you access to many more levels, a high score chart, leaderboards and leaderboard stats. And the best part is you are given the code to allow others to add your friends and compete with you. This application is fast and definitely much more enjoyable than the free version. Although it does have a few minor quips and the simplicity of the game doesn't impress me too much, I would still suggest you try the application if you're looking for a download. It's free, it's a great game, and it might just be the answer you were looking for.
