Eliss Infinity, the Silver Award-winning, super-hard multitouch arcade puzzling blast, is set to hit Android next week.
As well as that the iOS version is being updated with a host of new tweaks and features. One of them is a gentler difficulty curve in Infinity mode, which will come as a beautiful relief to some. There's better portal spawning as well.
The update, which brings the iOS g...
Fighting games are basically rhythm games if you think about it. They're all about tapping buttons at the right time. But instead of busting some moves, you bust some faces.
Which is why The Rhythm of Fighters makes so much sense. It's an upcoming beat-based beat-'em-up from SNK that sees you tapping out punches and kicks to some classic The King of Fighters tunes.
There's not much info ...
Gold Award-winning Disney platformer retweaking Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse has made the giant leap from the App Store to the Google Play Store.
The game is a partial remake of the Mega Drive classic that takes ideas from the original and mixes them with some new concepts to create something a bit special.
At review we said "Castle of Illusion combines old school challenge w...
Earlier this week, we held our latest Very Big Indie Pitch (VBIP) at Pocket Gamer Connects in Helsinki.
If you haven't heard of the VBIP before, it's an event where dozens of indie developers show their upcoming games to the press, publishers, and other experts in quick-fire 3-minute pitches.
We saw loads of great games there, met some fascinating game makers with diverse backgrounds (fr...
Updated on June 20th at 09:40: Powerpuff Girls: Defenders of Townsville is now out on Android as well, if you want to get your Google-y paws on it.
It'll set you back £2.38 / $4.99 [buy] to grab it from the Google Play Store.
Original story follows...
The most surprising thing about Powerpuff Girls: Defenders of Townsville isn't that it's an adventure shooter with 'Metroidvania' element...
In a bizarre move by Hardlight and Sega, Sonic Dash on Android has been updated with a new unlockable character.
With this new update, playing the game 50 times with the Android robot (on the left in the image above) will unlock Andronic the Droid Hog (on the right).
Andronic has no unique abilities, or really anything special about him at all. Except, well, look at him - I can't stop gi...
Emedion Games has just launched its Bronze Award-winning 2D puzzler Bardadum: The Kingdom Roads on Android.
This one's deceptively cute. The idea is to guide people and animals to their possessions across a grid.
The knight wants the sword, the bunny is after a carrot, the bird wants to get back to her nest.
The problem is that moving each character causes an obstacle to grow on the t...
DeNA has just released its free-to-play Michael Bay movie tie-in mobile game Transformers: Age of Extinction on to iOS.
In this combat runner you get to play as the Autobots as they smash and dash through destructive levels.
You also have to transform between robot and vehicle forms as you run through the levels. That includes Bumblebee's sports car and, most distinctly, Grimlock's robot...
Angry Henry is, unsurprisingly, very angry. He's got it in for the Helicopter Lords and he'll use any weapon to take them down.
That's the concept of Shay Pierce's (ex-OMG POP chap and Connectrode developer) new game. Take a deep breath - it's called Angry Henry And The Escape From The Helicopter Lords: Part 17: The Re-Reckoning.
Its nonsensical attitude towards ridiculous action reminds me ...
A couple of weeks ag,o RedLynx released a massive update for Trials Frontier, its free-to-play take on the classic Trials series.
This update contained new missions, costumes, and a crucially important banana skin (to throw under the wheels of inconveniently skilful ghosts).
We caught up with RedLynx at Pocket Gamer Connects, which is taking place this week in Helsinki, and discovered wh...
It's your turn to put on your Space Marine suits to smash, stomp, and rip through chunks of Ork flesh, Android players.
Yep, that's right: Roadhouse Interactive has released the Bronze Award-winning Warhammer 40,000: Carnage on Android.
It's an action-shooter with measured bursts of violence. In this one, you battle across the planes of Mithra. You can fight solo or join other Space Mari...
Despite its leisurely pace, golf can be a pretty stressful sport.
Missing a shot by inches, ending up in a sand trap, and fouling up on a swing are just a few of the ways things can go wrong.
In King of the Course, though, the most stressful factor is the unpredictable after-touch mechanic.
Overcompensating for something
Initially, King of the Course offers an interesting approach to t...
Presumably to celebrate the current foot-to-ball World Cup, Football Manager Handheld 2014 for iOS and Android has had its price cut down to £2.99 / $4.99. That's about half of what you'd have paid for it last week.
We gave the game a Silver Award when we reviewed it and said "Football Manager Handheld 2014 remains the best football management game on iOS, but it’s a big fish in a small pon...
Ramble Planet is a completely free and wonderful scavenger hunt RPG worth playing if you like a bit of oddity in your games.
It'll have you wandering the hostile regions and tourist hotspots of the alien planet Badmark in search of parts that'll help you fix up your wrecked ship.
To get those parts, you'll need to get very familiar with how the various regions and fauna of Badmark operate an...
Rovio and Hasbro have teamed up to launch an Angry Birds Transformers game on mobile later this year. Yep, Autobirds and Deceptihogs are now real things.
No details have been disclosed about the game as yet. But, presumably, it's going to be a physics-based puzzler like most other Angry Birds games.
Rovio has confirmed, though, that Angry Birds Transformers will be following in the fligh...
Popular PC game Desktop Dungeons is described as a "coffee break roguelike" on account of it quick-play design.
You explore randomly generated dungeons, defeating enemies and levelling-up. Your goal here is to survive long enough to steal loot that you use to upgrade your kingdom. That lets you gain access to more classes, races, and more powerful items.
Play sessions in Desktop Dungeons typ...
Bronze Award-winning space exploration sim Star Command has had its price lasered down to just 69p / 99c on the App Store, and 58p / 99c on the Google Play Store. Which is nice.
When we reviewed the game we said "while blasting aliens out of the sky can be fun, Star Command lacks the depth of a true space sim."
There have been plenty of tweaks and twiddles added to the game since then th...
Supercell's Silver Award-winning follow-up to Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, is out now on Android. Or rather, it is if you live in Germany and Finland.
If you don't live in either of those countries then you're going to have to wait unfortunately.
We're not sure how long this soft launch will last, but it's a clear indication that the rest of the Android world is going to be able to play B...
You probably know the score when it comes to Pocket Gamer's Big Indie Pitches by now.
So, yes, we get a bunch of indie developers in a room, sit them in front of a panel of game industry bigwigs - including publishers, investors, and journalists - and give them two minutes to pitch their (usually iOS or Android) game, with a further minute available for judges to give their title a grilling.

The Borderlands games are no strangers to unconventional gameplay.
After finding great success for their unlikely mixture of RPG elements with first-person shooter gameplay, Borderlands is now poised to make the jump into the cel shaded, episodic world of Telltale Games.
We had a rough idea of what to expect from Tales from the Borderlands, but we had the opportunity to have Telltale walk us...
