Grounskeeper2 is a fast-paced retro-infused pixel art blaster that's set to hit the App Store and the Google Play Store sometime tomorrow.
It takes some of its cues from the likes of Super Crate Box, with tight levels and rampant hordes of enemies to turn into mush with your super-heavy weapons.
But the focus here is on all-out blasting rather than leaping around to collect new toys to play ...
Impossible Road, the Silver Award-winning ball-rolling nightmare from Pixels on Toast has finally hit the Google Play Store, so if you're a gamer of an Android persuasion you can grab it right this second.
The game is a a twisty, twitchy roller coaster ride that sees you trying to roll a ball down the series of vertigo inducing drops, curves, and inclines that make up the titular highway.

Above, you can watch a Space Noir combat mission walkthrough that N-Fusion Interactive and Unity Games has put together for you. Yes you. Specifically you.
Joe Parisi and Carissa Isolano from N-Fusion outline the blasters and missiles on your ship in Space Noir. They also touch on how radar assists you in your hunt, and how cloaking your ship will help you survive.
Space Noir follows an ...
Amid all the cloning news there is one ray of light known as Instantion - a game about cloning.
Granted, it's not about cloning Flappy Bird or anything, but involves you cloning your digital body up to four times in order to activate switches and grab keys.
In other words, Instantion is a 2D puzzle platformer. In fact, its puzzles are very similar to those found in PC and console puzzle pla...
In the same way that public game companies announce their financial sales numbers every three months, the Quality Index (Qi) publishes its own quarterly figures.
But instead of assaulting your eyes with talk of operating profit, ROI, and monetisation (brrrr), this here Quality Index quarterly round-up ranks the top 20 best-reviewed iOS and Android games that were released during the period Janu...
Tiny Thief - the latest Rovio Stars game - presents a series of cartoon vignettes, which mix sneaky stealth gameplay, with tricky point-and-click puzzles.
You play as a pint-size burglar, who must use cunning and guile to pinch a specific object.
These guides will tell you how to get 3 stars on any stage in chapter 6, Bewitched. Just follow our instructions, and you'll walk away with your po...
A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build is a game being made for Christmas. Except, well, it's a little late for that now.
Luckily, it's about being a monster and building snowmen, and that can be enjoyed any time of year. That much I found out when having a brief play of it.
The first thing to note is that A Good Snowman is being developed by puzzle game aficionados Alan Hazelden (These Robotic He...
Narcissus is set into a plinth at the end of the Leftfield Collection alley at Rezzed, the iPad on which it's running sort of bolted into place.
This arrangement allows two people to easily stand on either side to tap through the bouncy, tough platformer, but it gives the game a strange arcade air, like one of the table Space Invaders games you used to see in pubs and cafés.
The aim is simpl...
Star Command is the not-quite-all-it's-cracked-up-to-be space exploration simulation from War Balloon Games. Good news, though: it's a little cheaper than usual on the App Store and Google Play Store.
The game is all about whooshing around space, taking care of your crew, mending the bits of your ship that fall off, and repelling invading alien forces.
At review, we said that "while blas...
The biggest April fool this week was anyone who thought the Android microconsole market was over and done with.
After months of speculation, US-based retailer Amazon finally entered the battle for the living room gaming space with its Amazon Fire TV box.
Consumer reaction to the $99 multimedia device remains to be seen, but what interested us the most was the fact that it has a capable Andro...
There's a compelling new reason to pick up Tiny Thief, and it's not just because of the Bewitched DLC update that came earlier in the week.
Rovio's cute gem of a puzzler has just dropped its price down to 'free' on both the App Store and Google Play you see, and it's hard to top a deal like that.
We don't have any idea what prompted Rovio to drop the price on Tiny Thief, nor do we have any i...
For the first 20 minutes or so I was really enjoying Fairway Solitaire Blast. It's a neat riff on the mechanics of the original, with a twist here and an layer of polish there.
You're matching cards to clear them from a golf themed screen, deciding whether to lay a 6 or an 8 on a 7, for example.
Those first 20 minutes aren't exactly mind blowing stuff, but there's a neat bounce to the play t...
Crashlands is the next game from the developer of the Silver Award-winning game Quadropus Rampage. Yep, Butterscotch Shenanigans.
The team describes this veritable pot pourri of gaming ideas as a blend of "survival, crafting, creature management, strategic combat, and player expression".
Crashlands takes place on an endless world full of strange creatures you have to battle, capture, and tam...
If you were wondering what the best-reviewed iOS and 'droid games on the web last month were, here are the iPhone Quality Index, iPad Quality Index, and Android Quality Index round-ups for March to fill you in.
The iPhone, iPad, and Android Quality Indexes boast over 650,000 reviews (in total) from websites like 148Apps, Pocket Gamer, and IGN, and use a unique metric to create a single definiti...
2K and Cat Daddy Games have updated their Bronze Award-winning free-to-play iOS and Android combat strategy game Sensei Wars.
The most outstanding new feature is the Dynasty War Mode. This enables you to challenge rival dynasties to an epic war. The winner earns itself special rewards you can't get anywhere else in the game.
Buffs are probably the next biggest additions on the update list. W...
This week, Peter, Keith, and I learn that Amazon has ended the console race in a single press release by announcing Ouya-esque Android micro-console thingy the Amazon Fire TV.
Then, we read the press release a little closer and discovered that Amazon's new streaming media box is mostly for watching movies and Breaking Bad and that.
Our worlds realigned, we take a look at the week's strongest...
March wasn't quite as strong a month as February for Android gamers, but then few months are.
What's important is that there were still plenty of excellent 'droid games to play over the past 31 days.
We got the swift Androidification (it's a word) of the game that everyone with an iPhone has been playing, a not-so-swift Androidification of a certain bit-hitting physics-puzzler sequel, and a ...
If you have had your eye on the Gold Award-winning iOS and Android gamebook Gary Chalk's Gun Dogs but haven't downloaded it yet, now's your chance.
It's currently on sale at £1.49 / $1.99, you see. Yep, that's 60 percent off the normal price of £3.99 / $5.99.
Gary Chalk's Gun Dogs sees you given a chance to escape execution by the Empire by serving as a Gun Dog. With a magical collar con...

My dad is an angler, but I've never quite seen the appeal of the sport. For him it must be a chance to compose his thoughts and clear his head in a serene environment. For me, it's a fiddly exercise in inefficient hunting, which entails getting up at 4AM to murder animals.
But fishing in video games has always been appealing to me. I've spend hours doing it in Wild World and New Leaf, there was...
