Featured Game
Race Illegal: High Speed 3D
Today's roundup is presented by Race Illegal: High Speed 3D from
HeroCraft. HeroCraft's latest racer seems to take its inspiration from
that arcade staple, Cruis'n USA. It's got the same exaggerated car
designs, the same cartoony physics, and the same focus on speed above
all else. But it's also deeper than your standard arcade racer, with
tuning and customization, an online leaderboard, and even a an
integrated story mode.
--
The smell of freshly burnt rubber on tarmac, the feel of the soft
leather in your hands, the sound of engines roaring and crowds cheering,
open your eyes and experience racing in its purest form, get ready to
take to the streets in Race Illegal. Finally the true street racing
experience has arrived on your phone. Starting your career as a rookie;
you need to earn respect out there before you can challenge the best,
work your way through an intense and engaging storyline to prove
yourself top dog.
Games
Ridiculous Fishing
Fishing is dreadfully boring. Before now, fishing games were
dreadfully boring too - just ask anyone who had to play those crappy
Big The Cat levels in Sonic Adventure. But thanks to some simplified
"endless faller" elements and, not least, guns, Ridiculous Fishing has
managed to bring some life into the sport. Unique graphics and an
endlessly replayable premise keep Ridiculous Fishing interesting, and no
in-app purchases means that you can play forever without spending
another dime.
--
A handcrafted game about fishing with guns, chainsaws & toasters.
Follow Billy as he tries to find redemption from his uncertain past.
Chase your destiny on the high seas and embark on a heroic quest for
glory and gills.
- Hours of gameplay across the continents including a never-ending Infinite arcade world.
- Dozens of unlockables, weapons and items including popular
fishing gear like the Most Expensive Hairdryer In The World and A
Bowling Ball.
- Fish that become hats.
- No IAP - buy the game, play the game. No additional costs, no hidden fees. Even the hats are IAP-free.
- Fish that become hats.
BADLAND
There's not a lot of game in Badland - you move around, you solve a
few puzzles, you flap your way through the levels. That's about it. But
Badland is just staggeringly beautiful, pushing 2D sprite graphics to
the absolute limit of artistry and detail. True, the abstract game uses
the somewhat tired silhouette foreground trope, but you'll be
hard-pressed to fault it when you get an eyeful of the background. If
you're tired of 8-bit this and old-school that, you owe it to yourself
to check this game out.
--
BADLAND is an award-winning atmospheric sidescrolling action
adventure platformer taking place in a gorgeous forest full of various
inhabitants, trees and flowers. Although the forest looks like it’s from
some beautiful fairytale, there seems to be something terribly wrong.
The player controls one of the forest’s inhabitants to discover what’s
going on. Through his journey he discovers astonishing amount of
imaginative traps and obstacles.
Sonic Dash
How in the world has it taken so long for SEGA to release an endless
runner game staring the world's fastest hedgehog? Well technically it
hasn't: Sonic Dash has been available on iOS for about nine months, and
even Sonic's speed shoes couldn't get him here any faster. We'll forgive
SEGA for the slight, thanks to fast gameplay, unique dodging elements,
and surprisingly great graphics - seriously, this game looks like it
would be at home on the Wii. Bosses, familiar characters, and power-ups
await... as do the usual in-app purchases and social add-ons.
--
How far can the world’s fastest hedgehog run? Play as Sonic the
Hedgehog as you dash, jump and spin your way across stunning 3D
environments. Swipe your way over and under challenging obstacles in
this fast and frenzied endless running game. The world famous Sonic the
Hedgehog stars in his first endless running game – how far can you go?
Unleash Sonic’s incredible dash move that allows you to run at insane
speed and destroy everything in your path.
Assassin's Creed Pirates
By all accounts, the ship combat in Assassin's Creed III and IV is
one of the highlights of the latter games, so it makes sense that this
section of the series has been encapsulated for the mobile games. You
won't find much stabbing or sneaking in this one, but there's plenty of
real-time strategic navel warfare. Broadsides, mainsails, all that jazz.
After making pulp out of your nautical enemies you can buy new ships or
upgrade the ones you've got. You don't need a console or PC version of
the game to play, either... but you do need five bucks.
--
Become one of the most feared pirates of the Caribbean in this
exclusive Assassin's Creed adventure on smartphones and tablets. Play as
Alonzo Batilla, a young and ambitious captain, a pirate eager to take
on the fiercest of enemies... Break all the rules, challenge empires and
make your own fortune. Fight in real-time naval battles all over the
Caribbean Sea. Choose from a wide range of weapons to destroy your
enemies and become a true pirate legend.
Heroes of Dragon Age
Dragon Age is a beloved postmodern RPG that thrives on furious
real-time combat. So naturally for the franchise's mobile debut, EA went
with... a turn-based collectible card game? Yeah, so this is basically a
really well-done version of the Yu-Gi-Oh style games that are all over
Android and iOS, tuned for multiplayer combat and a double currency IAP
system. If you're looking for the rich story of the BioWare games, look
elsewhere.
Here's the international version.
--
COLLECT THE HEROES. BECOME A LEGEND. Build a party of famous warriors
and epic monsters from Dragon Age lore. Battle other players in
strategic, CCG-inspired 3D combat. Fight bosses on engaging quests from
the award-winning, dark fantasy RPG games. Heroes of Dragon Age is a
highly detailed game of superior quality. Please make sure you have at
least 480MB of free space on your device for installation. To speed
things up, please connect to a WiFi network.
Double Dragon Trilogy
If you don't know Double Dragon, you need to find the DeLorean and
head back to 1987 for a bit of gaming education. DotEmu is doing what
they do best with a faithful port of not one, not two, but three of
the timeless side-scrolling beat-em-ups, complete with multiple
difficulties, external controller support, and multiplayer... even if it
is just local. If you want a trip back through time to the roots of the
genre, three bucks is a steal for Double Dragon Trilogy.
--
A groundbreaking, uber-popular game upon its arcade debut in 1987,
Double Dragon is the undisputed godfather of co-op beat ‘em all. Enter
Double Dragon Trilogy, a compilation specially optimized for mobiles and
which includes all three installments of the beloved arcade series:
Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2: The Revenge, and Double Dragon 3: The
Rosetta Stone. The first one begins with Billy and his brother Jimmy,
two martial arts experts, in a mission to rescue Billy's girlfriend,
Marian, who’s been kidnapped by the Black Shadows Gang.
Dokuro
Dokuro is yet another pilgrim from PlayStation Land, this time coming
from the PSP Vita. It's an interesting platformer, not only because
it's got an escort element (which isn't as awful as it sounds, I
promise) but because the skeleton protagonist can shift between living
and dead forms. Each form has strengths and weaknesses, and you'll need
both to be effective. Come for the combat and puzzles, stay for the
unique blackboard visuals.
--
Arise, lowly skeleton, and rescue the Princess from the Dark Lord's
castle. You are a nameless skeleton in the Dark Lord's army. After a
chance encounter with the Princess, who was abducted to become the
dreaded Dark Lord's wife, you found yourself setting her free. Guide the
Princess from the shadows in Skeleton Form, switching to Hero Form when
it's time to mount a gallant offense. Can you spring the Princess from
the castle?
Clash of Puppets
Crescent Moon publishes consistently tight games, and Clash Of
Puppets is no different. The game is a top-down brawler with melee and
ranged attacks, with a liberal amount of platforming thrown in for good
measure. A unique art style (I don't want to say "Steampunk," so I guess
"Victorian chic" would be appropriate?) and a variety of alien enemies
should keep things interesting. The game also comes pre-loaded with MOGA
controls - nice.
--
Clash of Puppets is now MOGA Enhanced. Available at major retailers, carrier stores and online at
http://www.MOGAanywhere.com.
Help Charlie getting out of his own nightmares. Clash of Puppets is a
full 3D hack'n'slash platformer, featuring classic b-movie style.
Adventure through 3 worlds of frantic levels. Use tons of devastating
weapons and traps against hordes of puppets.
RAVENMARK: Mercenaries
Looking for some turn-based combat that will leave you satisfied,
scratching your head, or swearing at your phone like an old world
general? Then Ravenmark might hit your critical zone. The tactical
action follows in the footsteps of other turn-based strategy games, but
brings it to a much larger level, encouraging players to unleash entire
armies at once. The game is definitely tuned towards multiplayer, but
there's also a rich single-player campaign.
--
Build your mercenary army and raise your banner to epic heights in a
broken, ravaged world. Wage head-to-head battles against other players
in the finest turn-based strategy wargame, RAVENMARK: Mercenaries.
Mercenaries delivers an evolution of the turn-based strategy mechanics
that won critics over in the original 2011 wargame, RAVENMARK: Scourge
of Estellion. Mull over strategic troop placement in the Command Phase,
before committing your orders into the “we-go” Battle Phase where friend
and foe move and attack in the same phase.
Dead Ahead
Zombies and endless running (or in this case driving). Yes, it's been
done before, but as in all things it gets more interesting when you add
guns. These zombies are decidedly modern when it comes to speed, and
you'll need to both run and gun to survive them. It's kind of like the
vehicle segments from the old Battletoads titles, albeit in reverse.
Impressive 2D graphics are the icing on the undead cake.
--
From the creators of Parking Mania comes a game with a little more
bite. The Dead are coming for you, it’s time to find a ride and drive
for your life. With the relentless zombie hordes hot on your heels and
hungry for flesh, can you fend them off whilst keeping your eyes on the
road? Swerve between abandoned cars, plough through undead crowds and
when the dead get too close, get trigger-happy. Visit the Garage to
upgrade your ride and your firearms to keep ahead of your pursuers.
Knightmare Tower
Previously an Ouya exclusive, Knightmare Tower is a strange mix of
the jumping/falling games that have recently become popular and
touch-based slashers like Fruit Ninja. The premise is that you're a
knight who blasts through a tower with a medieval rocket, then slashes
the crap out of all the bad guys floating in the chaos before grabbing
the princess. Not the most, uh, plausible game, but certainly an
enjoyable one. 70 levels and a handful of bosses will keep you
pleasantly diverted.
--
Break through ceilings, rescue princesses and escape boiling lava as you slash your way to the top of the Knightmare Tower.
- Campaign and Survival modes
- 10 princesses to rescue, all daughters of the same King (yeah, even that last one)
- Tons of upgrades, including visually changing armors, swords and boots
- 70 quests to complete
- 50+ different monsters to slice up
- 3 legendary monsters that can be summoned with special horns
- Giant bombs that blow apart every monsters around you
Warlords RTS: Strategy Game
We're getting more and more real-time strategy games on Android, and
if you prefer yours with a dash of RPG, Warlords might be right up your
alley. It's got the basic base building, resource gathering, and troop
commanding elements you're familiar with, plus a few hero units thrown
in. You can level these guys up to turn them into Tolkien-style
badasses. A lack of multiplayer is a major let-down, though.
--
Warlords RTS is a real-time strategy game set in the fantasy world
Aldfarne. Upgrade your army, boost your Warlord with magic items and
lead your troops to victory. Enjoy hours of gameplay and dare to play
Hardcore difficulty mode. On your journey to defeat fierce enemy bosses,
you'll face various challenges requiring your strategic and cunning
tactics in order to triumph over the land. Choose your army carefully,
as each unit has very different abilities and gameplay will vary
dramatically upon these choices.
Doctor Who: Legacy
What's more zany and epic than The Doctor? How about a puzzle game
starring everyone's favorite Time Lord, in a variety of incarnations.
I'm no Whovian, but if you are, you should be able to find more than a
few familiar Doctors and companions scattered around the app, not to
mention some of the show's iconic villains. Underneath it's basically a
Puzzle Quest imitation, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
--
For the first time ever, interact with fifty years of Doctor Who as
you travel through time and space, relive his most daring adventures,
group with his bravest companions and face his most dangerous foes. An
old enemy is traveling through time, changing events to bring about the
ultimate war. Team up with your favorite Doctor and head back through
time - revisit your favorite episodes from the TV series and build a
team of your favorite companions and allies including Clara, Rory, Amy,
River, and dozens more.
Wrath of Psychobos - Ben 10
The gist of the Ben 10 series seems ripe for video game exploitation:
a teenager with a magic watch that turns him into various alien
monsters. And indeed, that premise is pretty much all you need for a
solid game, or at least the start of one, but Cartoon Network went
further. You'll control both Ben and Rook (whom I assume is a major
character) in 31 levels of isometric battle. The game is obviously
geared towards kids, but there are certainly worse licensed games they
could be playing.
--
Use Ben's alien powers and Rook's Proto-Tool weapons to take down the
evil genius Dr. Psychobos in a GIGANTIC BEN 10 ADVENTURE. Explore the
galaxy and battle tons of bad guys in Wrath of Psychobos. Control both
Ben and Rook, using their complementary abilities to conquer any and all
challenges. Unlock powerful new alien forms for Ben, including
Cannonbolt, Armodrillo, Rath, Bloxx, Eye Guy, Shocksquatch, Arctiguana
and others.
MLB.com Franchise MVP
RPGs and sports games are strange bedfellows, but the combination
seems to be getting more popular lately... if only so that the latter
can be more easily shoehorned into a freemium model. Now the MLB itself
is getting in on the act, abandoning the pretense of team versus team
and instead casting you as a single player trying to make his big league
mark. The game features all the MLB teams, swipe-based controls, and of
course, in-app purchases.
--
Do you have what it takes to become an MLB.com Franchise MVP? Join
your favorite MLB team and follow your dream from the Minors to the
Majors. Can you take your team to the World Series and beyond? MLB.com
Franchise MVP is the only baseball game on Google Play with 120 REAL
TEAMS including Class A, Double-A, Triple-A and Major Leagues. An
Official Game of Major League Baseball Advanced Media. Build your
skills, master any position on the field and reach success. Equip your
player with the best gear, boosts and train him up.
Dark Project
Survival horror games are a bit under-represented on Android, but
Dark Project seems to hit all the high points of the genre. A nebulous
and often unseen enemy? Check. Claustrophobic, oppressive, dark
environments? Check. It borrows liberally from science fiction and
top-down shooters, but if you're looking for a bit of creepy with your
action gaming, this would seem to be a great choice. As the description
says, playing with headphones and in the dark is recommended.
--
Play a star trooper sent to investigate the disappearance of a
research team sent to the planet Deltora to determine the possibility of
the planet being inhabitable. Upon you're arrival, you soon learn that
something has gone horribly wrong and need to face the darkness equipped
with weapons and your trusty flashlight and search for the team
fighting off mutants and zombies.
- 11 Levels of mayhem and darkness.
- Investigate the inner workings of the Deltora complex.
- 5 Different weapons to master.
- Collect weapons or purchase them from in game kiosks with credits.
- Exterminate monsters with varying degrees of difficulty.
Boson X
A unique premise can go a long way, and that's why this endless
runner set in a particle accelerator is in this list. You play a tiny
man who, for some reason, is trying to find particles at faster and
faster speeds. Simple but attractive 3D graphics and a breakneck pace
should please anyone who enjoys a challenge, and physics enthusiasts
will get a kick out of the kooky story. The game costs two bucks on
Android, but you can
download it on Windows, Mac, or Linux for free.
--
Quantum jump from Planck to Planck and reach critical velocity in
Boson X, a rotational runner from Mu & Heyo. Build up speed inside a
massive particle accelerator and generate high-energy collisions to
discover strange new particles. Use precise timing and fast reflexes to
navigate a subatomic world where floors and ceilings don't exist. Will
you be fast enough to find the elusive Boson X?
Island of the Lizard King
Tin Man Games is here to make game books and chew bubblegum... and
they're all out of bubblegum. The latest entry in this developer's
ever-expanding (if somewhat one-dimensional) arsenal is Island Of The
Lizard King, a swashbuckling tale that presumably includes both lizards
and kings. Mixing Dungeons and Dragons play mechanics and Choose Your
Own Adventure storytelling, the app is pricey at six bucks or one
doubloon.
--
The world famous Fighting Fantasy interactive gamebook series
continues. Ian Livingstone and Tin Man Games present Island of the
Lizard King. You can relive the adventures on Fire Island on your phone
or tablet, lovingly updated for digital devices. Presented in full
colour with realistic physics-based dice rolling for battles,
auto-mapping, an auto-updated adventure sheet and stat keeping.
Little Inferno
It's going to take a lot to convince me that Little Inferno isn't
actively encouraging kids to play with fire. You buy toys, then you burn
them in a chimney. That's literally it. Ostensibly a sandbox physics
game, the fun comes in seeing how the different objects go up in flames.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
--
Little Inferno is an unordinary game, filled with surprise and
wonder, and even better the less you know before playing.
Congratulations on your new Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace.
Throw your toys into your fire, and play with them as they burn. Stay
warm in there. It's getting cold outside. Burn flaming logs, screaming
robots, credit cards, batteries, exploding fish, unstable nuclear
devices, and tiny galaxies.
Rock Runners
If Portal and an endless runner had a baby, it would be Chillingo's
Rock Runners. And that includes Portal's excellent physics - you're
going to have to use gravity and momentum in this game to reach the end
of the sci-fi platforming levels. It's not just a one trick pony,
either, as demonstrated by creative use of swinging ledges and twitchy
jumps. Graphics and sound look great, and there is a lot of personality
in the characters and environments. International readers,
here's the "rest of world" version.
--
Take control of an energetic, running, jumping, swinging runner
in this hugely entertaining action platform game. Leap across puddles of
radioactive goo, swing over gaps using your light-beam grapple, and zip
through portals on your way to completing each stage.
Sprint
through over 140 levels, each one with it's own set of challenges to
accomplish. Collect gems to unlock upgrades and new playable characters!
Runes of War
Sometimes I wish Kairosoft would break their city builder/RPG titles
out of the pixelated niche, and if they did, that game might look like
Runes of War. This stylish 2D game combines elements from the
aforementioned Kairosoft games to become a mix of Civilization and a
turn-based RPG, with the added kink of online multiplayer thrown in for
good measure. The online component is the clear star here - Runes of War
even has a basic guild and communication system built in. But as always
with free-to-play multiplayer games, beware of the IAP menace.
--
A Strategy Builder Multiplayer Game set in the romance of the
Medieval age! Rule as Lord of your city, recruiting Knights to battle,
managing your serfs to gather resources, and build your city into a
bastion of strength and hope. Carefully allocate resources to feed and
grow your city, forge great treasures, strategically make and break
alliances, develop your knowledge of ancient magic. Prevail in the
ultimate goal to overthrow the Dark Knight and his Dragons, and
establish a noble and tranquil Camelot in a sea of turmoil.
Zombie Blitz
Our zombie-free roundups earlier in the year were a short-lived
repose. Now it's right back to zombified versions of well-established
games, and this week, it's iBomber. The same familiar tap-and-boom
controls are in place, though you do get to command different kinds of
units in an endless battle against the undead. The game is heavily
slanted towards in-app purchases, but at least it uses Google Play Games
for leaderboards and achievements.
--
The world has fallen into darkness and is overrun by the walking
dead. You are humanity's last hope in defending the remaining bases
against the oncoming zombie hordes. In Zombie Blitz you take control of
an entire air force. Use simple touch gestures to start bomb drops,
airstrikes and helicopter attacks, or to position mines and bait. 11
different weapons can be unlocked to defend your bases in this
action-driven tower-defense game. Upgrade your weapons to your liking,
for instance, by increasing the impact range, or improve your chances by
using infrared vision.
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!!!
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.
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!
Battleship 2
If you're in the mood for naval combat without all the pomp and
circumstance, Battleship 2 might be right up your channel. It's
relatively simple as mobile games go, though it adds a few dimensions to
the classic Battleship formula that the board game doesn't have,
including air units, mines, and other goodies. Graphics are simple, but
battle options are robust, with AI, local multiplayer, and online bouts
available to the player.
--
Battleship 2 is a board game everybody loves since childhood but with
new options. Online multiplayer. Fight against the players from all
over the world. You have a wide arsenal in your disposal: battleships,
destroyers, bombers, mines, anti-aircraft defense, radars and other
stuff. Place your ships of different size on the battlefield, launch the
aircraft for massive bombshells and try to sink the rival ships. By
combining different positioning of your ships, aircraft, anti-aircraft
defense and mines you can develop your own strategy for the game and
leave no chances for your opponents.
Papa Pear Saga
A sickeningly cute presentation goes well with puzzle games, and that
holds true for Papa Pear Saga. Mixing elements of old-fashioned
Pachinko and Angry Birds, you'll need both skill and luck to get through
over a hundred levels. If you're low on either (or both), the game will
try to upsell you some extra lives and fancy moves via in-app
purchases. Still, for a time-killer you could do much worse.
--
Take aim and unleash Papa Pear to bounce and boing his way
through the wonderfully wacky levels of this unique puzzle game. Please
note Papa Pear Saga is completely free to play but some in-game items
such as extra moves or lives will require payment. Join Papa Pear on a
journey through more than 100 levels filled with fruity pegs, hazelnuts
and crazy chillies. Exciting adventures await you in the Fruity Forest,
the Great Pearamids and beyond.
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.
DubSlider: Warped Dubstep
Do you like dubstep? Do you like rhythm games? Then grab your
glow-sticks and hide the goods, and go download DubSlider. It's your
basic tunnel runner game with dubstep music and the kind of psychedelic
graphics that would make the visualizer from Windows Media Player green
with envy. Best of all, there are no ads or in-app purchases.
--
Let's slide through the dubstep funnel! This is an indie
rhythm-based musical arcade game, where you control the dub-trap and
catch the rhythm orbs on your way. More orbs means more score points.
That's it. No ADS and no In-App purchases ever for all of our games!
Vacation Vexation (Free)
Nostalgic Software certainly lives up to its name: old-school
adventure titles are the developer's bread and butter. But it looks like
they're branching out in Vacation Vexation (great title!), an adventure
game set on a beachfront getaway. Not only do you get the usual
story-heavy combine-the-items goodness and Nostalgic's unique brand of
humor, but you also get to try your hand at real (er, virtual) games in
the in-app arcade. Shenmue fans will feel right at home. The paid app is
below, and
here's a free demo.
--
Ah, the family seaside vacation. Sun, sand and... annoyances
galore. Explore, solve puzzles and play arcade mini-games in this sequel
to "Quiet, Please!".
• Classic adventure game fun on your hand-held device.
• Explore a lighthearted and humorous environment.
• Use your wits and a bit of mischief to solve puzzles.
• Play mini-games in the Funhaus arcade.
Pretentious Game
Some of the current crop of indie games really love to deconstruct
the conventional ideas of gaming... and don't they just know it. Now
we've come full circle, a deconstruction of the deconstruction, with the
appropriately-titled Pretentious Game. If you can handle the meta, it's
got a lot of recommendations from the usual suspects. Those who can't
take a joke (or who need more pomp and circumstance) should look
elsewhere.
--
Have you ever realized how words are important? And how they can
drive our emotions? Enjoy the uncluttered and peculiar aesthetics of
Pretentious Game and plunge wholeheartedly into a poetic and deep story.
Follow the adventures of a blue square passionately in love with his
pink sweetheart, and help him bring his feelings to light. Read between
the lines of Pretentious Game to progress through the story, and let
your feelings overcome you…
