The player, climbing the growing pile of falling items, is nearing a checkpoint (represented by a rope of flags). On the left, a 'curse' ballon floats up; on the right, a 'boost' power-up. Two game modes are available for play in the game: a level-by-level campaign, titled 'The Rise and Fall of Frank Solway', and an endless mode, titled 'Endless Nightfall'. The basic gameplay involves random objects falling from the sky, as the player tries to avoid getting hit. Control is by means of tilting the device to move left or right and tapping on the to jump.
As the game progresses, the pile of objects gets taller, and less stable. At random intervals, diamonds will fall that grant the player an if collected; each level has a certain number of diamonds and the amount collected is recorded on the stage select screen. As well as falling diamonds, balloons arise from below the pile, carrying, such as coins (ten coins gives the player an extra life), a protective helmet that shields the player from damage for a limited time, an extra health unit (which cannot be replenished once lost), an item that scrolls the screen up or down, or a skull that damages the player (referred to as an 'Ancient Curse'). If the player finds himself stuck in the middle of the pile, he can attempt to shake the device to form a bubble and float back to the top. However, this is an unreliable feature. 'The Rise and Fall of Frank Solway' contains 7 levels, in which the player is required to climb 130 meters for the first five stages and 100 meters for the final two.
To aid in this, several checkpoints are present throughout each level. Once a checkpoint is crossed, the player can restart from that position if he dies, with one replenished health unit. Death can occur by the player being pushed off-screen by the pile or losing all health units.
The Incident For Mace
Items that kill the player are recorded in a museum and shown by name on the death screen (e.g. 'Death by Taxi'). Plot Frank Solway, an, is having an ordinary day. As he tries to hail a cab, he notices that the streets are eerily empty. He then notices something above him — which turns out to be a cab falling from the sky.
He dodges it, only to find more objects of all descriptions raining down on him: sofas, houseplants, vending machines, pianos. Top shelves for machine. 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 or as a controller, while using an as a screen. The 1.3 update allows players to use a video cable with a suitable adapter attached to the iPad's to play the game on a television set or computer monitor, with the graphics reformatted to fit a screen.

Boing Boing's Brandon Broyer referred to it as 'a simple idea executed with fantastic style.' 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 and and pop culture sources like. The Incident tickles your geek side expertly.' McWhertor later referred to the game as 'one of my favorite iPhone games of 2010', stating 'I'm still surprisingly wowed by the option for wireless iPhone control.'
's Jim Squires scored the game 8 out of 10, writing 'players looking for an accessible yet frantic arcade-style experience are going to really dig what The Incident has to offer.

It's a budget beauty!' 's Tracy Erickson scored the game 7 out of 10, arguing that it was enjoyable in the short term only; ' The Incident is entertaining for a few short minutes, yet its one-dimensional gameplay limits the long-lasting fun. An amusing game of evasion, The Incident holds little in the way of lasting appeal.' Cole Jones of rated it B+, feeling the gameplay became somewhat repetitive; 'if you try to play for a couple hours straight, its repetitive nature starts to shine through.
You'll enjoy this clever platformer, but only in short spurts.' References.

The Incidence Of Mad Cow Disease
The Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) and Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) The primary function of the Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) is to coordinate activities above the field level (or incident level). In doing this, common functions of the MACS include:. Situation Assessment. Incident Priority Determination. Critical Resource Acquisition and Allocation. Policy Support.
Coordination with other MACS Elements. Coordination with Elected, Appointed, and Senior Officials. Information Management and Common Operating Picture Maintenance The two most commonly used elements of MACS are Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) and Multiagency Coordination (MAC) Groups. EOCs are the entity from which the coordination of information and resources to support incident management at the Incident Command Post (on-scene or field level activities) occurs.
MAC Groups are policy setting entities typically comprised of agency administrators/executives, or their designees. Under the National Incident Management System (NIMS), neither an EOC nor a MAC Group has any direct incident command involvement and they will often be located some distance from the incident scene. Contrary to popular belief, there is no requirement for EOCs to implement and organize around ICS. EOCs may be organized. Major discipline (e.g., fire, law enforcement, or emergency medical services);. Emergency support function (e.g., transportation, communications, public works and engineering, or resource support);.
Jurisdiction (e.g., city, county, or region); or,. More likely, by some combination thereof. Regardless, an EOC should be organized to facilitate effective incident coordination and support in accordance with applicable laws, policies, ordinances, statutes, etc., that govern incident management and coordination in the jurisdiction the EOC serves. It is this non-standard approach that makes it difficult to develop standard EOC training. For this reason, EMSI’s seasoned cadre stands ready to help tailor EOC training to the unique needs and organization of your specific EOC.
Our experience has found that this training is best conducted in a facilitated workshop format. Look to the right for an offering of MACS training but we recommend to talk about your EOC training needs.
