Many have tried their hand at tower defense, but legendary among them is Ironhide who for a second time has created a TD masterpiece. Back when I reviewed Kingdom Rush I was left wanting more, and today here it is. You may have been playing it for months on iOS, but finally today it was released on Android and […]
Cut a Bitch Throughout the Metal Slug Series on Android
If you haven’t been playing the Metal Slug series for nearly 2 decades already then I’m sorry, you’ve been missing out. But now is your chance to play (or replay) one of the most legendary videogame collections of all time, because a big chunk of the series has been ported to Android. If you have somehow […]
Get Trapped Inside Pixel Dungeon by Watabou
A playable work in progress, Pixel Dungeon is already one of the best Android has to offer. Pixel Dungeon is a rougelike dungeon crawler. You pick a class and descend in killing everything that moves on your way down swinging swords, casting spells, drinking potions, and tripping traps. The usual stuff, but updated perfectly for touch […]
Swallow the Universe in Osmos by Hemisphere Games
The beauty and simplicity of Osmos is incredibly absorbing. The award wining music is ambient and mellow, the mechanic is elementary and enjoyable, the controls are intuitive. Easily one of the best mobile games to date. You play as a mote. Are you a cell? A galaxy? Doesn’t seem to matter. You can shoot bits […]
Tiny Thief by 5Ants Steals the Show [UPDATE]
I’ve really missed graphic adventure games. When I was younger in the late 80’s early 90’s adventure games had their day in the sun.* There are so many classics like Day of the Tentacle, Loom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but what I love most about Tiny Thief is how it brought […]
Master the Quick Draw with Ready Steady Bang from Hover Studio
Get ready to test your reflexes in a gun dual to the death. In reality Ready Steady Bang is much more lighthearted than all that. A recently released video short (embedded below) shows you just the kind of humor you can expect from this Hover Studio title. One touch game play; after the “ready, steady” […]
Cultivate New Worlds, Walking Mars by Tiger Style
Walking Mars is an amazing tale of discovery. What strikes me most about Tiger Style’s title is that the story more than anything keeps you playing, like the SNES RPGs I played as a kid. Only in Walking Mars, the graphics aren’t grainy pixels, but beautiful (and accurate) portraits of our neighboring planet. You play Liang, a […]
Fight for Pixelated Justice Against, The League of Evil by Ravenous Games
The League of Evil does it right by keeping it simple. Retro styled with pixel graphics, a chiptune soundtrack and simple attack or jump controls, League of Evil is a solid platformer with everything you need and nothing you don’t. Ravenous Games has bolstered the title with modern adaptations like the double jump, air attack, […]
Run, Die, Repeat. Canabalt by Semi Secret Software
It is impossible to play only a single round of Canabalt. You will find yourself retrying again, and again, and again, because the game sucks you into a place where you know that this time you will outdo yourself (and maybe others). Canabalt is hardly revolutionary as a game concept but manages to be addictive. […]
Deceptively Simple, Coins by Monosynth Games
Coins is a moment of Zen, followed by a furrowing of the brow. A simple and beautiful puzzle game, Coins challenges you to arrange tokens in a leapfrog like fashion where a coin can only be placed near two others, and your score is determined by the number of moves it takes you to match […]
