I can’t stop playing Alone, it’s unmercifully fast, beautiful and addictive. The crisp look is matched with a deceptively simple challenge; slide up or down to move your ship, and don’t hit anything. In addition to a sharp appearance it has a stellar soundtrack, but what makes Alone really stand out is just how absurdly fast […]
So Hip to be Square, Skala from Tenggrenska Studios
With a scalable square hero, size matters. A twist on the traditional runner you have to shrink yourself to fit between obstacles or grow large enough to cross gaps; as the levels progress you’ll have to be faster and nimbler to overcome. Things get really tricky when you have to start using rapid scale changes […]
Tiny Guardians by Kurechii
A good twist for tower defense. You only have one tower to defend as she moves through the route of each level. Your single tower is a summoner who you use to make a party of different heroes to defend you and to kill off the attacking monsters. You start out with some basic archers […]
Challenge Yourself With KAMI by State of Play
A unique puzzle to solve. KAMI is a light puzzle game that I found to be a new and enjoyable challenge. The whole game is very zen; you fold paper to match colors and solve puzzles, the music and sound effects are calming, and the controls and menus are simple and intuitive. Reminds me of […]
A Reel Good Time, Ridiculous Fishing by Vlambeer
Ridiculous Fishing is everything the name promises and more. You’ve probably heard of Ridiculous Fishing before because it’s gotten a bunch of awards, but if you haven’t, or haven’t tried it, then I suggest you do so now. I admit the first time I played Vlambeer’s Ridiculous Fishing I was too absorbed in Rymdkapsel to really […]

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 […]
Get Down with Bit.Trip Beat by Gaijin Games
Pong worth listening too. What can I say about Bit.Trip Beat? I like playing it even though I suck at it. The music is awesome. Its got retro simple play. There are some neat graphics going on in the background. And the boss fights are pretty epic. The controls are just like Pong, you tilt […]

Finally the RTS mobile deserves. A game truly well designed for mobile is above all, lite. Rymdkapsel floats. Martin Jonasson who is Grapefrukt Games has created the perfect mobile RTS by stripping away the traditional RTS to the core and distilling it to its finest essence. Jonasson’s streamlined minimalist approach is so beautiful that with the help […]
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 […]
