Our strangely trendy hero begins stranded on a plane of grey-scale tiles, floating in a starry void with nothing else but some fanciful piano playing in the background.
The game is Dark Way Down, a puzzler with sliding tile mechanics that rely on light and dark instead of physical obstacles.
Stepping on a tile switches its shade depending on what it was before - dark to light and light to da...
Updated on July 15th, at 16:30: We've updated this guide with walkthroughs for every level in Apricot Acres and The Dealands, locations for all the messages in bottles, and some extra quests.
This pretty much finishes up the entire guide to Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake. We'll update the guide when SleepNinja updates the game and fixes a couple bugs in worlds 3 and 4.
Monsters Ate My Birth...
Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake follows Niko on his sweet and sickly saga of vengeance against the Boogins who nicked his yummy dessert.
He, and a bunch of significantly more friendly monsters, will traipse across Gogapoe Island, solving logic puzzles and winning back his cake: slice by delicious slice.
Finally, we're at the end. We enter the spooky world of The Deadlands and finish our quest ...
We've known since Bungie unveiled its latest sci-fi epic Destiny that it would have a companion app. But now there's footage of the app working.
IGN was able to go hands-on with Destiny's companion app and even create a video of its findings (you can watch it above).
As we already knew, the video shows off the ability to manage your character, inventory and loot in the app.
A 3D model of...
The Bronze Award-winning Warhammer 40,000: Carnage has been updated with a new Dark Angel Chapter Pack.
Yep, that's right, Jessica Alba is now a playable character in Carnage. I'm lying, of course - that TV series flopped over a decade ago (and it's not coming back).
No, in this new update you get to play as the Dark Angel Space Marine. You'll help them break free from their tortuous prison ...
Given Puzzle Dragons clones have become more common than sea shells on a beach, any developer attempting a match-three puzzle / battle game needs to make darn sure it offers something tantalising and unique.
Unfortunately Dungeon Hearts Blitz is neither. It's a slow, shallow slog that doesn't reach the standards set by Puzzle Dragons, let alone surmount them.
Back to the dungeon

Tropical monkey-murdering physic puzzler Angry Birds Rio has received another batch of levels, in a new update. The pack's called Timber Tumble and features 20 new levels and 6 bonus stages, all set up in the tree tops.
There's also a new power-up which lets you call on a colourful flock of exotic birds to deal massive damage into one location. You get ten tokens for free, but can buy more ...
Updated on 15th July at 13:33: Sad news Dynasty Warriors fans. Koei Tecmo has contacted our sister site AppSpy, and it looks like Dynasty Warriors Blast won't be heading to the UK any time soon.
According to a representative of the company: "there are no current plans to release Musou Blast (as the game is called in Japan) to the Western territories."
So there might be plans in the future, b...
Mi-Clos Studio has announced a new update for Out There. It's called Out There: Omega Edition and it adds a whole bunch of content to the Gold Award-winning mix of space exploration and gamebook.
The update will offer polished graphics, new alien races, new ships, and a brand new ending for the game as well. There'll be new planets and environments to explore too.
On top of that there'll...
Magic: The Gathering will always be remembered as the game that launched a hobby. A thousand copycat collectible card games trail pathetically in its magnificent wake.
But that launch was over twenty years ago, and there are some new kids on the block that look capable of giving old man Garfield a run for his money. Especially when it comes to playing on mobile platforms.
So this 2015 iterat...
It's painfully sunny in Brighton, but I have a drink and an iPad, and the bar is air conditioned. The chairs are fat brown leather, the tables are polished, and I suspect the beer is more expensive than the train ticket to get here.
It's a strange setting to be playing a game about '70s cops. Everything in the Metropole Hilton screams of southern seaside grandeur. LA Cops on the other hand is a...
Subject 13 is the new game from Flashback creator Paul Cuisset.
The game's Kickstarter campaign started a few days ago, and if Cuisset and Microids get their money, it's scheduled to hit iOS and Android in October this year.
Subject 13 is a sci-fi adventure set in the future that sees you controlling Franklin Fargo, a former scientist who finds himself isolated from the outside world.

Incandescence is an upcoming, touch-based game about tapping on colorful, crystalline objects to create a neon light show.
It hails from the award-winning indie game studio Guerilla Tea, the folks behind Play to Cure: Genes in Space, and is their most experimental project to date.
The developer has described the game as a "visual feast with furious finger tapping," born out of the frustrated...
How quick can you count up or down?
That's the challenge posed by CalQ, a recently released and free mobile game about combining tiles of numbers to reach a target integer. Think somewhere along the lines of Spelltower, only mathematical.
CalQ is board-based, complete with rows and columns of numbered tiles that can either be positive, negative, or a multiplier.

There's a Dynasty Warriors game coming to iOS and Android. It's called Dynasty Warriors Blast, and according to SiliconEra it's set to hit Japan at the end of this month.
The game is apparently based on Dynasty Warriors 7, and sees you leading characters through an action-focused biography mode.
By the looks of the screenshots that have been released there's set to be a similar level of carn...
Halfbrick's Bronze Award-winning fish-skipping arcade game Fish Out Of Water! is now available on Android.
If you've not played it before, it's all about seeing how far you can toss some denizens of the deep. Maybe you'd like to chuck a starfish. Or how about tossing an Orca?
You're aiming to throw the furthest, and there are challenges to complete and leaderboards to climb up.
When w...
The Facebook apps hub essentially vends a mini game mono-culture. Hedgeless and featureless and planted, as far as the eye can see, with turnips mined by weary Farmville-rs.
Pyramid Solitaire Saga has enjoyed a fair bit of success in this arid environment. A mixture of fun aesthetics, strong marketing, and solid game mechanics ensured the game's popularity on Facebook.
And now this Egyptian ...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
This week, Matt Thrower chatted to White Wizard Games about its ambitious interplanetary deck-building board game Star Realms which is launching in both the digital and physical realms.

With Develop in Brighton dominating the week, you shouldn't feel too bad about missing out on some of this week's biggest stories. After all, what normal person wouldn't choose a trip to sunny - okay, slightly overcast - Brighton over a week in the office?
Now you're back home though, it's probably time to catch up on some of the things you might have missed during your week by the sea.
Natural...
The most recent Big Indie Pitch event happened in Brighton. It went quite well. There were tiny burgers and a sea view.
We've already told you about the winner, ThisWayUp Games's PaperLander. But that wasn't the only game that caught the eye of the assembled judges.
In fact choosing a winner out of the crop of titles that were pitched was pretty difficult indeed.
So here are five more gam...
