I downloaded it late last night, and I have to say it's pretty fun. The game ain't easy to beat, but the idea of what to do is pretty intuitive. Avoid the Tracker Jackers by shooting them (tap) with your bow and arrow and by hopping up to the trees or dropping down to the forest floor (swipe). As you go further, the Tracker Jackers learn new tricks, and it becomes harder to get them. While playing, I found myself with some anxiety, probably because I know what tracker jackers are and I was scared of getting stung! I see from the description and the glimpse in the trailer that you'll eventually get to District 12 to battle hovercrafts, but sadly I haven't gotten there yet.
Here's the full description:
