1Button is back with another elegant but tricky puzzler called Quetzalcoatl tonight (you may remember its previous puzzler Bicolor).
The title of the game refers to the feathered serpent of Aztec mythology, if you were wondering. Which means that, yes, this is a puzzle game that contains snakes.
Well, sort of. They're not like the snakes in Sushi Snake. These ones don't have heads, nor do th...
Zombies. What are they good for? Shooting and running over according to video games. Developer Not Doppler isn't one to argue, as it will prove by releasing Earn to Die 2 tonight.
This sequel takes the undead hit-and-run idea of the original Earn to Die from the desert and lets it run riot in the big city.
This allows for multi-tiered motorways to spice up your vehicular goring. Other im...
You better like roadkill as you'll be seeing plenty of it if you play Crossy Road after it comes out tonight.
It's an endless arcade "froguelike" (Frogger and roguelike). That means you'll be tapping your screen to transport chickens, frogs, unihorses, and penguins across traffic-filled roads.
That's as perilous as that should sound. But it's made easy due to the simple controls: swipe to mo...
Checkpoint Champion mixes together the action of a racing game with the slightly bonkers handling of the likes of Flappy Bird.
It's just hit the App Store in New Zealand, and it should be out at midnight tonight in the UK.
You control your car by tapping to weave left and right, and double tapping to get a turbo speedboost. You need to navigate a series of increasingly difficult challeng...
ULTRAHYPER is a hardcore retro reaction-based game for normal people.
If you've ever played a critically lauded, torturously difficult iOS game that's made you question your own gaming tastes or abilities, here's a game that might just make you 'get it.'
It's not amazingly brilliant and it sure as heck isn't original, but ULTRAHYPER is both fun and accessible.
Same old paths
As with so...
Version 0.10.0 of Minecraft - Pocket Edition has just hit the App Store and the Google Play Store, bringing with it a few changes to the pocket-sized stuff builder.
The headline changes across the two platforms are the introduction of fences and fence gates, the addition of a day / night cycle in creative mode, and the fact that baby animals won't drown if they try to swim now.
There are...
World War 2 tank blaster Battle Supremacy has had its price slashed on the App Store to just 69p / 99c, which is pretty cheap if you ask me.
The game sees you controlling all manner of tanks, planes, and other contraptions as you shoot your way through as many enemy troops as you can. It's super slick, and there's a meaty multiplayer mode as well.
At review we gave the game a Silver Awar...
Silver Award-winning spinning dodge-'em-up Duet has had its price slashed down to just 69p / 99c on the App Store.
The game sees you controlling a pair of spinning blobs, trying to lead them through a series of obstacles. Hit a blob on an obstacle and it splatters and dies, and you have to start all over again.
There are 9 chapters to work your way through, as well as an endless mode tha...
The first episode of Telltale's slightly topsy turvy point-and-click adventure series The Wolf Among Us is free right now on the App Store.
The game, which is based on the Fable series of comics, sees you taking control of Bigby Wolf. You're investigating a grisly murder that plunges you down a rabbit hole of conspiracies and violence at the heart of Fabletown.
We gave the first episode ...
Framed's central idea is a delight. You're rearranging the panels of an animated comic to lead a scarpering crook across a digital page.
It adds new ideas as you work your way through its narrative, letting you twist panels and reuse frames. By the end you're frantically switching things around, trying to make sure you don't take a bullet to the chest.
And it does it all without a word. You'...
Gamevil's Darkness Reborn, a fantasy RPG developed by Boolean Games, is now available for iOS and Android.
It is a free to play game with in-app purchases ranging from just 99c to $99 USD, so proceed with that in mind.
Darkness Reborn contains both single and multiplayer game modes, offering PvP, co-op, and a mix of both at once.
You'll be able to fight other players alongside your friend...
However you feel about SimCity BuildIt, EA has a new trailer for you to check out. See it up top.
As stated in our preview, EA's upcoming SimCity BuildIt is not quite a "fully fledged Sim City game for mobile devices."
It's SimCity gone free to play, relying on the same simplified micromanagement elements as most mobile city builders.
It is, according to our preview, "a light and fluf...
It's interesting how free to play MOBA games on PC cause little discontent, while on mobile the model is a morass of misery. Vainglory is aiming to turn the tables by bringing the genre to your sticky palm.
MOBA's not a genre that's supposed to run well on mobile. They're seen as the preserve of hardcore gamers, needing fine-tuned controls, big maps, and complex decision trees. It's all anathem...
Over 1000 players of the free to play multiplayer iOS and Android shooter Shadowgun: DeadZone have signed an online petition against the game due to a lack of updates.
Those who sign the petition are agreeing to not pay for gold or use tap joy inside the game until developer Madfinger fixes and updates the game.
This isn't the first petition on the matter, as another less popular one was lau...
Square Enix has announced two new free to play Final Fantasy RPGs for iOS and Android that will be released in Japan this winter.
The first game is titled Final Fantasy Legends: The Space-Time Crystal. It's an epic RPG in which you have to travel back in time to prevent the future from being destroyed by a god.
It's being worked on by Final Fantasy IV designer Takashi Tokita. The aim is for ...
Pomelo Games has soft-launched its fast-paced platformer Bullet Boy on the New Zealand App Store today.
"We are doing a soft-launch at the moment in New Zealand to get feedback from players," Federico Romero of Pomelo Games told us.
"We'll continue adding more content to the game while we do this. If everything goes well, we plan to release early next year," Romero added.
We first caught...
Ubisoft is publishing its online driving game The Crew on next-gen consoles and PC in December. But it's also bringing the game to mobile under the name The Crew Road Empire.
As you might expect, this is not the exact same The Crew experience as console and PC players are getting. The gist of the game remains but has been compacted into a more mobile friendly design.
In it, you manage your o...
Updated on November 18th 2014 at 13:35: It's not just Final Fantasy VI that's on sale as of today. All of the Final Fantasy games that came before it are also on sale.
Here's a list of them all with their price changes, links to reviews, and their App Store pages:
Final Fantasy (£5.99 -> £2.49) - App Store
Final Fantasy II (£5.99 -> £2.49) - App Store
Final Fantasy III (£10.99 -> £5.49)...
While the rest of the games world returns to the raw pixels of yesteryear for its platformers, Steel Wool Games has gone in the opposite direction.
Flyhunter Origins is a triumph of smartphone gaming animation, which isn't altogether surprising given that actual Pixar animators are the driving force behind it.
But astonishing graphics are almost suspicious these days. We've been dazzled by ...
Mobila MOBA Vainglory's staggered release continued last night when it went live in the North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa.
The game was one of that stars of Apple's iPhone 6 keynote a few months back, showcasing the new Metal framework and apparently proving that one of the world's most popular genres is workable on touchscreen.
