Glyph Quest is a Silver Award-winning puzzle-RPG, which our review from February called "warmly familiar" and "intriguingly deep."
Fans looking for more of that combo spell-casting action can rejoice, as developers Leanne Bayley and Alex Trowers have just announced a sequel: Super Glyph Quest.
Super Glyph Quest, like its predecessor, will be an RPG with match-3 inspired puzzles.
There are...
Octagon plays like some kind of inverted, first-person Super Hexagon, only with eight sides, not six.
It's a dizzying, twitchy dodge-'em-up that will have you swerving, sliding, and flipping your way - every which way - through a maze of platforms, without falling off the edge.
Formerly an iOS exclusive that hit the App Store last November, Octagon is now available for free on Android d...
Am I really getting slower as I move deeper into my thirties, or are the younger chaps I play football with simply that much better than me?
That's the strangely analogous scenario that sprung to mind as I died for the fiftieth time in Hyper Trip.
In Hyper Trip terms, the question is this: are these controls naff, or am I just really rubbish at this game?

Cass Carpendale's Peopletime is a civilisation management game inspired by Dwarf Fortress and Tomodachi Life. It's currently on Kickstarter.
The idea of is to manage a group of settlers as they live their lives and expand in a number of different ways.
A cool feature of Peopletime is that it's played in real-time. This means it will run in the background while you do other things.

2K's big league ice hockey sports game series NHL 2K is making a return to iOS and Android this autumn.
The last NHL 2K game that we had on mobile was the Bronze Award-winning NHL 2K11. It was also one of the last games produced for the series after 2K put it on hiatus.
So, this is the series's big return, then. What seems worth noting is that the title of this upcoming game isn't tied to a ...
Supercell has updated the Gold Award-winning Clash of Clans with a new Dark Barracks troop and new levels.
It's time to get introduced to the Lava Hound with this update. This molten flying beast loves to hunt Air Defenses and serves under the Dark troop.
Supercell adds that the Lava Hound is "tough and reliable", and when it is taken down, it erupts into smaller units. A nasty critter to ha...
Aldorlea Games has teamed up with RPG Maker creators Enterbrain and Degica to bring its 16-bit JRPG Undefeated to iOS and Android.
We're told that Undefeated will be the first official mobile port of a game made in RPG Maker.
If you weren't aware, RPG Maker was created in Japan back in 1988, and has since been reiterated upon with new versions regularly released.
The program is still used...
Outplay Entertainment's Bronze Award-winning free to play Alien Creeps TD is now available on Android.
This tower defence title came to iOS only a couple of weeks ago, so for once, you haven't had long to wait, Android players.
As you can probably tell from the title, Alien Creeps TD has you defending the Earth from an alien invasion.
You have an arsenal of weapons to place down in defenc...
Mangobile's Tactics Maiden seems to scratch the same itch that the studio's previous SRPG, Kingturn RPG Plus, did.
We called Kingturn "generic but accessible", and added that it won't make you care for your characters, but it might "scratch your SRPG itch".
Yep, the more I find out about Tactics Maiden, the more I'm convinced it will also fit that summary.
Mangobile calls it a fast-paced ...
Goat Simulator is out on iOS. It lets you accurately simulate the life of a goat.
At one point while I was playing I was dressed up as Spider-Man and flying around on a firework. Then it exploded and I head-butted goathenge.
Yes, Goat Simulator mines a rich seam of stupidity, and it does it surprisingly well. The controls are a bit flobby, but they're meant to be.
This is a game that feat...
Have you been playing Bungie's definitely not an MMO but obviously an MMO sci-fi shooter Destiny?
Then you may be interested to know that there's a companion app - available on the App Store and Google Play - that lets you see your stats and other info on your smartphone.
Our pals across the pond at 148Apps have put together a quick guide that explains how to set the app, and use all its...
Dragon Quest I is old. It's a curio, a glimpse back into the dim and distant beginnings of the JRPG. You can tell it's old because characters say things like 'verily' and 'lieth' and you'd quite like them to stop.
All the bits and pieces are here. Swords, magic, Slimes, a huge map to explore, and a world to save from some dragon-y evil.
But it all feels a little bit clunky. The genre has bee...
The action-packed retro run-and-gun Gunslugs (deep breath) is getting a sequel, as anyone who's been following its Touch Arcade thread would know.
Recently, developer OrangePixel posted a teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel, Gunslugs 2, noting that the game is about 80% done.
A conclusive release date has not yet been announced.
The original Gunslugs scored a Silver Award from us b...
Pack your wagons! We're hitting the road to riches yet again, this time to Nevada's Comstock Lode.
1849, the gold rush city sim that hit mobile devices earlier this year, has just released its expansion, called Nevada Silver.
The expansion is available as an IAP, costing just £1.49 / $1.99 and available for both its iOS and Android versions.
You can buy the standalone 1849 for £2.99 / $4....
Kapsula has a lot of jagged edges. Sometimes they're welcome and endearing. Other times, like when it drops you into the middle of a twisting section of track and you can barely see in front of you, they can be incredibly frustrating.
The game has something of an identity crisis too. It's not quite fast enough to slot into the twitch genre, but it's a little too fast to be a puzzler. It's not q...
Warhammer 40,000: Carnage has been updated with a Space Wolf. Not a wolf from space, mind, but a new Space Marine from the Space Wolves chapter. He's a mean lookin' fella and no mistake.
The update adds a whole new chunk of the map that you can play through as the angry hairy man. He's upset because all of the rest of his squadron are dead. Cue hideous acts of rage-fuelled Ork murder.
As wel...
Sentinels of the Multiverse is a classic card game, and it looks like it's heading to iPad and Android tablets in the middle of next month.
The game sees you taking control of some super heroes, whomping down cards, and using your special super powers to stop villains from doing villainous things. In this case pulling down the moon and destroying the world.
You can check out the video ab...
The Spider-Man Unlimited canon consists of a short-lived but critically well-received set of comics, and an animated series.
It's an unusual universe to want to adapt into a video game for mobile telephones and tablet computers, but it shows a definite willingness to take risks on niche(ish) IP from Marvel.
Having already gone hands-on with the game for a video here on Pocket Gamer and AppSp...
The hard rock band Avenged Sevenfold is coming out with their own game, called Hail to the King: Deathbat.
The game is a fantasy action adventure with plenty of sword-fighting, spell-casting combat, set to tracks from the band both new and old.
It features seven levels, and eight new songs from Avenged Sevenfold.
You'll be able to play Hail to the King: Deathbat for yourself on iOS or And...
Backspace is about logging online to find that you're sucked into a super network and can't escape.
That might sound like a horror story, but it's not. Backspace is actually a sci-fi action arcade game set on spherical worlds.
You drive around these spheres to get inside of them using Pods to break through walls, and Teleports to travel between their layers.
Along the way, you'll be blowi...
