find more objects of all descriptions raining down on him: sofas, houseplants, vending machines, pianos. Frank keeps dodging the falling debris and climbs the ever-growing pile. Gradually he rises above the city, past the nearby mountains, and into the sky, eventually leaving earth's orbit and reaching outer space, where he hopes to discover the source of the falling objects. Frank eventually floats into a white void with what appears to be a portal in the middle. A slightly older Frank approaches from the other side. It is revealed that the older Frank also attempted to hail a cab, but instead it was sucked into the air, followed by other objects from his world; the portal drew objects from one world and deposited them in the other. Finally the two Franks touch the portal together, causing a bright light to fall on Frank's town, saving his world. After the game is cleared once, the player can play through it again in "Beard Mode", as the older Frank. Updates Since its initial release, the game has had two major updates. The 1.2 update allows players to use their iPhone or iPod Touch as a controller, while using an iPad as a screen. The 1.3 update allows players to use a video cable with a suitable adapter attached to the iPad's dock connector to play the game on a television set or computer monitor, with the graphics reformatted to fit a HDTV screen. Reception The Incident was met with mainly positive reviews. The iOS version holds an aggregate score of 82 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on sixteen reviews, and 85.71% on GameRankings, based on seven reviews. The graphical style of the game, which was designed to emulate 8-bit games, has been widely praised. Kotaku called it "attractively visually designed." TouchGen saw it as "a visual homage to games of yesteryear." Boing Boing's Brandon Broyer referred to it as "a simple idea executed with fantastic style." Gamezebo wrote "the retro 8-bit presentation absolutely sparkles." Kotaku's editor Michael McWhertor was impressed with the overall game. He criticized the high difficulty near the end, but concluded that "it was the game's more clever references that appealed to me more than its graphics. There are amusing nods to films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Back to the Future and pop culture sources like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Incident tickles
