"Okay one more gHOW DID I HIT THAT? HOW did I hit THAT?"
The above is just a small selection of phrases to spew forth from my mouth over the course of my time with RETRY - the nasty, vindictive, brilliant debut effort from Rovio LVL 11.

QbQbQb comes with a risky pitch: "Rymdkapsel aesthetics, Gyro controls, Tetris gameplay."
That's a mix of quality puzzle games that might get our hopes up a little too much. But, Polish developer Rezoner is confident for a good reason. QbQbQb is a lot of fun.
With your finger, you spin a planet around in order to match coloured blocks upon its surface. It's like Tetris on a 2D circle, basica...
Submerged is an Unreal-powered adventure from Uppercut Games, and you can check out the ridiculously good-looking trailer just above this paragraph. Go on, do that.
The game sees you exploring the soggy ruins of an ancient city, clambering through collapsed buildings to try and find supplies for you and your dying brother.
It's fair to say it looks absolutely stunning. Submerged is set t...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.
Deep Loot
By Monster and Monster - download on Android (Free)
We probably talk too much about the Big Indie Pitch - a regular event where indie devs show apps to the press in short sessions, speed dating style - but we discovered two of the games on this list at BIPs. So shush.
This one...
There's a sale on mobile Grand Theft Auto games going on right now. So there's never been a better time to stuff your pockets full of violent, car-jacking action.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has had its price cut for the first time. You can grab it for £2.49 / $3.99 from the App Store [buy] and the Google Play Store [buy] right now.
You can also pick up Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for ...
Newly released from PikPok Games, Rival Star Basketball combines arcade action with the strategy of management sims and card collection.
It's available now as a free download on the App Store and Google Play.
The game is the newest in PikPok's line-up of sports games, which include titles like Flick Kick Football.
Rival Stars Basketball features "intuitive one-swipe" touch controls that l...
A game of oceanic exploration and nautical adventure, Deep Loot was released in July for iOS and scored a Silver Award.
Now, you can grab it for Android, free on Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.
Deep Loot has been described by fans as a deep sea adventure game with mild roguelike qualities.
Our review called it an "entertaining game that rewards repeat play and boasts buckets of charm...
Square Enix has updated the Silver Award-winning Hitman GO with a new chapter today called "St. Petersburg Stakeout".
It contains eight new levels and is based on the classic Hitman 2: Silent Assassin level of the same name.
For those unfamiliar with the level, Agent 47 is given five minutes to identify and execute a Russian general in St. Petersburg, Russia.
All he knows is that the gene...
Life as a cell can be difficult. The bigger cells bump into you, reduce your size, and mock you with their bloated presence.
This much I have come to realise while playing Bulkypix's cell simulation game Felllice.
It's the type of game that offers challenges for you to complete, but also offers the chance to "drift along" and relax, if you wish.
In the normal "Play" mode, you enter a blac...
Free to play zombie shooter GunFinger has finally dragged itself on to Android.
It was released back in May of this year for iOS players, and the Android and Windows Phone versions were due this summer.
No matter, it's here now to warm up your numb fingers this cold time of year instead.
It's as simple as shooters get, really: you tap zombies to shoot, hold your finger to aim when necessa...
The main problem with The Bot Squad is that it's boring. We've seen everything it does before done better. It's got tower defence elements, tower offence elements, and all of them feel small and jaded.
Then there's some free to play elements, currencies, an energy system, robots telling you to buy things. It's basically the sort of game the App Store sometimes feels like it's choked with.
Su...
Micro Battles is a game of, as you might be able to tell from the title, micro battles. It offers a decent chunk of same-device multiplayer and it's got a pretty interesting free to play system as well.
If you don't pay you get to play one of the four different mini-games every day. Cough up £1.49 / $1.99 and you'll be able to play them all whenever you want.
Each of the games is a one-vs-on...
Silver Award-winning deep space mid-core strategy title Galaxy on Fire: Alliances has made the hyper jump from the App Store to the Google Play Store, letting Android gamers experience a different take on the Galaxy on Fire universe.
The game sees you forging alliances with other players, creating massive space-based empires and generally having a jolly old tyrannical time.
When we revie...
The first three episodes of République are now available from the Google Play Store and the Amazon Appstore, just a day after the third episode Ones Zeroes popped up on the App Store.
If you're not familiar with the game, it's a big shiny touchscreen adventure that was funded by Kickstarter. You can check out our reviews of Episode One and Episode Two by clicking on those links.

I think the mayor in upcoming papery puzzle game Twisty Hollow is actually Boris Johnson. Yes, I'm referring to the current golden-locked barmy mayor of London.
Seriously, it matches up.
The mayor in Twisty Hollow apparently creates rules such as having to frown at bacon, and giving fashion tips for ghosts. I can easily imagine Boris Johnson doing the same.
While this might seem like good...
Bass-driven 2D shooter Savant - Ascent has a new stage, boss, and more with the "Void Update".
With this update, if you survive for long enough on the dark tower's elevator you'll go beyond the tower and discover a new powerful foe.
Once you've reached this new stage, you don't have to go through the first one again, as there's a new stage select that lets you skip right to it.
With this ...
Wizards of the Coast has announced that the Garruk's Revenge expansion for the Silver Award-winning Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers will arrive on Android on November 5th.
If you're an iPad player you have to wait a little longer to get your card-shuffling fingers on it.
This expansions has you playing with the deck of Garruk Wildspeaker (the deadliest hunter in the Multiverse) to bat...
Back in May of this year, the Silver Award-winning Shadowrun Returns dropped to its lowest price at a rather magnificent £2.99 / $4.99. Now you can get it for even cheaper.
Yep, on both iOS and Android, Shadowrun Returns is just £1.99 / $2.99, making its new lowest price yet.
If you've been holding off from delving into this cyberpunk RPG due to its price, then your excuse is wearing thin, ...
Rovio Lvl11's first game, RETRY, is finally out worldwide. It's about flying a plane around, dying a lot, and learning that swearing like an enraged, drunken sailor on public transport isn't a great idea.
That last bit might be tangential though.
You need to steer your aircraft through a series of obstacles using deliberately difficult controls. Hit anything and you get dumped back at th...
Blizzard has revealed that the Android tablet version of its Gold Award-winning free to play digital CCG Hearthstone should be hitting the Play Store before the year is out.
In a post on the battle.net blog, the dev said "We're taking things one step at a time and we've got our sights set on a release for Android tablets, our next new platform, before the end of the year; we've just got a f...
