Game: Gumulon

Time and time again, decent mobile and tablet games are made near-unplayable by shoddy controls. Many of said games rely on virtual d-pads, virtual joysticks, and on-screen buttons that offer no tactile feedback, thereby making simple movements and attacks more difficult to execute than what's typical with a real controller. The last thing iOS gaming needs is another wacky control scheme like the "chewing controls" introduced in Gumulon. Surprise of the century: Gumulon's chewing gimmick barely works. You can play with traditional tap controls, but all you get is an average endless climbing game that loses its flavor within minutes.
