Tiny Tower Vegas, NimbleBit's gambling themed casual tower-building sim is out right now on the App Store and the Google Play Store, so if you fancy finding out whether you could build an empire from the misery of addicts, now's your chance.
The game will be instantly familiar to anyone who's played Tiny Tower or Tiny Death Star. You build a tower out of different levels, hire little people...
Mistwalker has come up with an interesting way of releasing content for its upcoming free to play smartphone RPG Terra Battle. The more people that download the game, the more it'll put into it.
You can see a full breakdown of the various tiers over on the Terra Battle website, but at the top, if more than 2 million grab the game, Mistwalker will go about making a console version. There are...
NimbleBit's Tower games have always done alright by us. We thought the ever-so generous Tiny Tower was worthy of a Bronze Award, and the Force-flavoured Star Wars: Tiny Death Star deserved every little bit of its Silver Award.
Now the company is back with another spin on the blueprint it laid out with the original game back in 2011, this time with a gambling theme.
How does it stack up again...
MLB Perfect Inning by Gamevil has added several new features to both its iOS and Android versions, in a free update.
Starting Thursday, August 28th, the sports management baseball sim will include "head-2-head gameplay," a global multiplayer mode complete with leaderboards, a trading block system, and updated rosters and stats.
We reviewed MLB Perfect Inning back in May, calling it "ambitiou...
If there was life on Venus, what would it look like? Northway Games puts forward a pretty convincing hypothesis in Deep Under the Sky.
A mixture of scorching surface temperature and crushing air pressure might make for a race of floating jellyfish, living their quiet lives in the skies.
Plausible? Don't look at me. But it sure is an unusually pretty thought, and Deep Under the Sky is nothing...
With all its mechanical fibre and warbling bass drops, SineWave seems to simulate what it would be like to travel through the insides of Oculus Prime.
There are little drones that fly into my sights to the beat as if white blood cells come to eradicate me from these metallic arteries.
With a tap on time they become orange scars for me to fly past. Then I duck and dive around the half-walled...
Fuhrer in LA is as barmy and exploitative as it sounds.
Developer Ankaar Productions says that it's inspired by the grindhouse films of the 1970s. Fuhrer in LA is its first attempt to bring that to games.
Set in 1947, this top-down action adventure game has you play as Hitler after he wakes up in Los Angeles due to a horrible mix-up.
Hitler's original plan was to fake his suicide (wh...
Five Nights At Freddy's is the latest indie horror game to have terrified thousands of PC players, and now it's available on Android.
We thought the Android version might have been a bootlegged copy at first. However, upon contacting developer Scott Hawthorn, we were told "It's the real game, just a simplified version!"
Five Nights At Freddy's has you playing as a nighttime security guard at...
Updated on August 27th at 12:20: Dong Nguyen has got in touch to have his say about the accusations. I've pasted his statement below.
"Swing Copters project is exist since February 2014. It names Kitty Jetpack at that time. You can see the screenshot of it on Rolling Stone magazine published in March 2014."
"I am sure this is a coincidence of two games use the same mechanism. But looking in ...
Another Dong Nguyen game, another cloning controversy. But this time it's the Flappy Bird creator being accused of plagiarism by the developers of Bog Racer.
Pocket Gamer has received an email from Open Name, claiming that Nguyen heavily borrowed ideas from its one-touch driving game, which hit the App Store at the end of July.
That doesn't seem like much time to "copy" a game, but consideri...
Even in the ocean's most abyssal depths, there is light. There isn't much, but it's there.
In upcoming iOS and Android game Seashine, your life will depend on finding it, one source at a time.
We don't know much about this eerily luminescent game yet, just that it boasts "simple and intuitive" controls, relies on constant exploration, and will be available "early" September.
Seashine is d...
If we've learned anything from zombie games, from The Walking Dead to DayZ, staying in groups has its ups and downs.
Chances of survival are better with a team, but it can also be risky. How many of your friends can you actually trust?
Dead Cells, a new zombie survival game from Motion Twin, weaves trust and betrayal into the very fiber of its mechanics.
In a battle to be the last one sta...
Appointment with F.E.A.R. is the campest thing I've seen in video games for a while. It has supervillains with names like "Tiger Cat" and "Chainsaw Bronski".
It's based on the Steve Jackson gamebook of the same name. Developer Tin Man Games calls its adaptation of it an "interactive graphic novel".
Set in the 1980s, Appointment with F.E.A.R. has you play as a superhero and champion of justi...
The Walking Dead Pinball shouldn't exist. It doesn't make sense.
Here we have two games on the near-opposite ends of the gaming spectrum: a choice-driven adventure, and a pinball game. They can't just be merged into a single game.
Yet, Zen Studios has proven this line of thinking wrong, apparently.
The Walking Dead Pinball is based on the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead. So, y...
Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen has updated his latest game Swing Copters so that it's not quite as hard.
Of course, the whole idea behind Nguyen's games is to punish you for even the slightest of failures.
But, obviously, Nguyen decided that Swing Copters was just a little too challenging.
We agreed in our review, comparing it to the strengths of Flappy Bird when saying: "Swing Copters a...
Alone is a super-sharp one-finger arcade space blast from the developer behind Silver Award-winning PUK. And it's set to hit the App Store this Thursday.
The game starts with you controlling a tiny spaceship that's shooting through a tunnel of collapsing rock. Move your finger down to go up, move your finger up to go down. Race a certain distance and you'll unlock the next level.
You can...
Do you remember that bit in Cannonball Run when Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise are trying to think of a clever disguise for their motor, and Dom shouts, to Burt's disapproval, "Ooo! An ice cream truck! An ice cream truck!"?
Ice Cream Nomsters is kinda like that.
It's a line-drawing game, crossed with time management, that considers ice cream a matter of urgency, and while the gameplay does ev...
The Nightmare Cooperative, a puzzling roguelike variant from Bad Hotel and Wave Trip maker Lucky Frame, is coming to iOS this week.
At a first glance, it might look like your typical dungeon crawler. There's permadeath, randomly generated levels, and enemies that only move when you do.
But, things change when you have multiple heroes on screen at once and you realise that all team member...
This week, with GDC and Gamescom finally over, it was Unity's turn to step into the spotlight and wow the industry at Unite 2014 in stunning Seattle.
Naturally, the news came thick and fast, with Unity CEO David Helgason claiming some bragging rights by revealing that 45 percent of all mobile games with third party engines now use Unity.
Helgason also offered some thoughts on going "end to e...
The chaotic Toast Time by Force of Habit is getting nine new levels next week, as well as a Steam release.
Developer Ashley Gwinnell spoke to us earlier about the update, called Uncle Martin's Freezer Cabinet, hinting at some of the new level names.
"One of the level names is a 'cool' pun - 'Goodbye Cool World,'" Gwinell explained. "Though the magnificence of that one is spoiled by the other...
