We all have those days where there’s nothing more rewarding than picking up a tank and tossing it into a nuclear power plant. Grabatron by Future Games of London gives you that opportunity without any of the mess. You play an alien UFO armed with a massive hanging claw bent on the destruction of everything in sight. There’s abductions, […]
Edge and Edge Extended set the Bar High for Touch Games
Everything about Edge is razor sharp. Mobigame has put out Edge and Edge Extended for around 3 bucks each on iOS and Android and it is a perfect game for taking advantage of touch play controls. Mechanics combine moving platforms, puzzles, and reflex challenges over nearly 50 levels for hours of rewarding mind bending and finger racing challenge. The game itself […]
Bounce Along With Chalk Ball
The love child of Pong and Arkanoid, born in the mobile generation. Chalk Ball by The Pill Tree challenges you to keep a ball/s bouncing along by drawing a chalk line for it to bounce off of. But chalk can be at a premium so it gets tough fast if you’re not economical and don’t have […]
Mow a Bloody Swath, Organ Trail Director’s Cut
I have mixed feelings about the whole bit-revival thing. Most of it seems to be nostalgic throwback garbage. However, Organ Trail Director’s Cut succeeds by going beyond bit-revival, to bit-undead. Produced by Chicago based indie studio Men Who Wear Many Hats, this old school style game tugs on all the right childish heartstrings while having grown up to maturity. […]
The Best Mobile Racer, Mini Motor Racing [UPDATE]
Reminiscent of micro machines and RC cars, there’s something about fighting for position, hitting the nos, and drifting your tiny race car that gets the blood pumping. From Australian game developers The Binary Mill, Mini Motor Racing is currently the best racing title on Android. Reckless Racing 2 by Polarbit is a close contender with lots of car customization options, but the […]
Gyro, Submachine Factory
Gyro is a pleasing mobile diversion; clean, simple and challenging. A very minimalist game, nothing about Gyro seems extraneous or out of place. Your task is simple: turn a three-color wheel to align colors with incoming projectiles. Gotta love a game that you only need one finger to play. As your score increases so does the challenge with […]
Clash of the Olympians, Better on Android
The first time I played Ironhide’s Clash of the Olypains online I put it down almost immediatly thinking the mouse controls were just to annoying to be worth it. Later they released it for Andriod and I’m glad I gave it another shot. The whole game is dramatiacally better with tap and swipe controls. Suddenly […]
Color Sheep, Trinket Studios Inc.
This is an ideal mobile game recently released on Android and iOS. Color Sheep delivers a whole lot of bang for only a buck. You play Sir Woolson the color changing sheep who must beat back an onslaught of colorful marauding wolves by mixing red, green, and blue in 20 color combinations. There’s also some items and level […]
Kingdom Rush, a Victory in Indie Gaming
Kingdom Rush by indie game developers Ironhide Game Studio, is playable for free at Armor Games and it’s one of my favorites at the moment. Your task is to defend the kingdom from an evil wizard who’s attacking you with goblins, trolls, bandits, demons and other undead. Who needs a better story than that right? You’re […]
