Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus
Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the
day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider
this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our
bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth
of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got the latest
pixelated title from Noodlecake, a game that rides Olympic coattails, a
game for insane pony enthusiasts, and a (possible) driving sequel.
Without further ado:
Micro Miners
If you combine the basics of Dig Dug and the free-tapping gameplay of
the Where's My Water series, you might get something very much like
Micro Miners. Noodlecake's latest game has you both digging and filling
in various kinds of earth in order to guide your miners to different
payloads. You'll have to hit all of them to win, and the screen
continually scrolls, keeping fans of twitch games happy. Visuals are
typically pixelated, but the production looks like it's as solid as
ever.
--
Use your finger as a pickaxe, dig tunnels and guide the Micro Miners
to the Gold, Silver and Coal deposits. Where's my lemmings? Microminers
is an arcade-puzzler which revolves around the control of a vast horde
of tiny miners. The screen is constantly scrolling downward, and it’s
your job to collect all the available deposits of gold, silver, and coal
that you see. Any missed resource represents a strike, and the level is
considered failed if you miss three chances to collect.
Ski Challenge 14
With the Winter Olympics only a few months away, you can expect to
see the Play Store flooded with winter-themed sports titles very soon.
The first of these is Ski Challenge 14, and while it's certainly a
free-to-play cash in, the graphics and gameplay look like they're worthy
of attention. According to the description, the ski runs are based on
real runs from pro ski events, including Sochi. The developers plan to
hold regular weekend events (or at least achievements connected to
online leaderboards).

Enjoy a little suspense, action and thrills? Then Ski Challenge 14 is
right for you! The rapid 3D ski simulations game offers exciting races
and spectacular downhill runs this winter. FOR FREE! Experience exciting
events and fly down the slope at 130 km/h - your new personal best is
within reach. Customize your skier and make your own individual outfit
to make yourself stand out! Various control options, training mode,
helmet camera for that realistic skiing experience, replay mode, and
much more await you.
Crazy Horses: Unstabled!
This game looks like someone tried to clone My Little Pony while
high. The object is to steer or herd your horses away from objectionable
bulls. When they hit the bulls, the horses explode, which seems like a
bit of a stretch. They also explode if they're hit by a tornado, train,
or bomb, which seems far more likely. Sickeningly cute graphics and
sound effects accompany a pretty straightforward game which should
please fans of the various air traffic control titles out there.

The Crazy Horses have bolted from the stable! Round them up and herd
them back before their arch-enemies the Bullies skewer, flatten or blow
them up!
- Gorgeous 3D cartoon graphics
- Cute and funny characters
- Power-ups and items galore
- Frantic lassoing action
- Awesome unicorns!!!
Sports Car Challenge 2
Technically this is a sequel to Fishlabs' original Sports Car Challenge.
I say technically, because it's got exactly the same cars, tracks, and
features - we honestly can't tell if this is a new game or just a
re-submitted copy. (It crashes on my daily driver phone, if you're
wondering.) In either case, it's a free download, so give it a chance if
you want to test-drive a Bugatti against a ghost driver.
--
High-end racing on mobile enters the next round with Sports Car
Challenge 2 by Volkswagen Group (China) and Fishlabs. Drive a total of
14 exclusive super cars by international top-brands such as Audi,
Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche and Volkswagen. Enjoy
photo-realistic 3D graphics and spectacular attention to detail. Show
your skills on the asphalt in three ambitious game modes and make your
way to the top of the global leader boards. Fill your trophy room with
the rewards from dozens of challenging achievements!
