Some of us at the Pocket Gamer camp had mixed feelings about Hitman: Sniper when it was announced.
After all, how much fun can you really have when staring down the barrel of your gun to assassinate a completely oblivious target?
The answer is "a whole lot" - and Hitman: Sniper is shaping up to be an absolute treat for mobile.
Lining it all up
In Hitman: Sniper, you slip into the famil...
Updated on June 12th, at 6:41: Morning! VVVVVV and Super Gravitron are now available on Android, too.
You can get the puzzling platformer for £1.99 / $2.99 here, and the bonkers score attack arcade game for free, here.
Terry Cavanagh will launch two games on the App Store tonight: gravity-flip platformer VVVVVV and score-chasing freebie Super Gravitron. Both should surface on Android t...
If there's one good thing that's come out of this whole "flappy" craze, it's the revitalisation of simple and addictive arcade-style romps.
A lot of developers have embraced the genre again, creating games you can learn to play in five seconds, but can spend weeks trying to master.
And Glacier Rush is definitely one of those.
Just keep swimming
The game is all about guiding a hungry na...
Days of Wonder has just issued a big update to the Silver Award-winning Small World 2.
It features a host of new features, the biggest of which is the "Tournament Style" multiplayer mode.
This new mode is available in Single Session and Multiple Session flavours. It's played in real time but is still turn based. It's a little like speed chess, so, yes, each player has an allocated time in wh...
One Man Left has just announced Tilt to Live: Gauntlet's Revenge for iOS and Android. It's an endless dodger spin-off of the Tilt to Live games.
Tilt to Live: Gauntlet's Revenge was actually borne of One Man Left's dissatisfaction with the Gauntlet modes in the studio's first game and its HD version.
For the Silver Award-winning Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous, the studio wanted to do Gauntl...
Fluid SE is what PacMan might look like if it had been invented at a rave in the late-90's. All neon colours, blobs that bite back, and throbbing lights.
The game has just hit the New Zealand App Store, which means it should be hitting the UK at around midnight tonight.
You control a ship and need to race around tight little levels snaffling all the glowing balls of energy. Orbs you've e...
Square Enix has revealed that a localised version of Final Fantasy Agito is set to hit the North American App Store and Google Play Store "soon".
It could be tomorrow. It could be next year. All things that happen in the brief blink of our human existence are cosmologically soon.
At least Squeenix had the good grace to release a trailer along with its announcement, otherwise this story w...
NanoRPG is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a game with a name like that. It's a thin slice of role-playing that doesn't offer much more than a few minutes of fun at a time.
Its battles are simple tappy affairs, its world map is little more than a dotted line scattered with encounters and shops, and it unfolds in chunks that are unlikely to fill a bus journey.
At the same time it's...
Sega has announced that Sonic Jump Fever will be heading to iOS and Android this summer as a free-to-play game.
As you might have guessed, Fever is based on the Silver Award-winning Sonic Jump. The main difference between the two is that Fever is all about your score and competing against your friends.
So, it's a vertical jumping challenge that lets you play as Sonic, Knuckles, and the usual...
Up, Down, Left, Right is a complete and total git of a game. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.
It's out right now on the Google Play Store for free, and an iOS version is planned in the not-too-distant future.
The game is described by dev Simon Byron as Super Hexagon meets Paper, Please.
An amalgamation of sharp-edged twitch tapping and monotonous routine-following. Oh, and ther...
Updated on June 10th at 12:51: The game is also out on Android. You can grab it from the Google Play Store for £1.99 / $2.99 [download].

Don't get too excited, but it looks like there's a chance that Battleheart Legacy will turn up on Android.
Talking on Twitter, dev Mika Mobile said that an Android port is something it wants to do, although the possibility of it actually happening is still very much up in the air.
Still, there's some hope if you want to play through the Silver Award-winning RPG on your Google-powered pho...
Gunman Clive 2 is heading to the 3DS in the not-too-distant future. And judging by the trailer sitting just above this paragraph, it's looking pretty darn impressive.
The game is the sequel to the Gold Award-winning 3DS blaster Gunman Clive. Or if you're of a mobile persuasion, the Silver Award-winning iOS and Android blaster Gunman Clive.
Once again you're playing as the titular cowboy,...
Angry Birds Epic, Rovio's second go at doing something different with the Angry Birds franchise, is set to hit the App Store and the Google Play Store on June 12th.
That's this Thursday if you'd like to add the information to your calendar.
The game is a lite-ish RPG that sees you romping through some fantasy settings, hitting pigs with swords, magic spells, and sticks.
We had a bash at t...
Cartoon Network has plundered its stash of (admittedly great) franchises in CN Superstar Soccer, in an effort to add some value to a cut-down, fast-paced football game.
It's a tactic that will probably draw in a few extra players. Fans of Adventure Time, The Regular Show, Ben 10, and The Amazing World of Gumball are all catered for.
Those are some mighty franchises marshalled for your gaming...
Mojang has issued the snapshot for the upcoming 0.9.0 version of Minecraft - Pocket Edition.
This will be the biggest update the game has had yet. Looking down the changelog makes that very apparent - it's huge.
The first big addition will be the unlimited worlds. This means you can walk in one direction for weeks never find an edge to the world.
There's loads more new blocks on the way. ...
How much do you like Rube Goldberg machines?
If it's quite a lot, then you'll want to check out a new physics-based puzzler called The Ingenious Machine.
It tasks you with the construction of ridiculous machines out of as many silly parts as possible in order to perform simple tasks. Just like any Rube Goldberg machine should, then.
Cogs, weights, pivots, levers, ropes, boots, guns, fans...

A Vita version of VVVVVV will be coming in the future, too.
But wait, there's more...
"I've also been working on something secret that I’m very excited about, which will also be coming out this Thursday," writes Cavanagh. Exciting stuff.

You might want to run for cover.
The first update to the Silver Award-winning First Strike is currently whistling through the air like a nuclear warhead, you see.
It's due to land on June 26th, but we have a lowdown of everything that it will add, so let's get to it.
Firstly, the free 1.1 update will let you play First Strike on mobiles and not just tablets. You may think that would b...
In celebration of the forthcoming World Cup, OrangePixel has released a "summer freebie" on Android called Tapkick 2014.
The challenge is to keep a football up in the air for as long as you can. You have to tap the screen when the ball passes between two lines to knock it up.
If you get the timing wrong and miss, the ball drops to the ground and your score is added to the leaderboards.
