It will be coming to Android soon after but an exact date has not been given yet.
Forgotten Shores adds eight new chapters to the game, meaning that the game's content is nearly doubled.
As can be seen in the video abo...

LittleBigPlanet has been the King of user generated content for since its inception, and no title has successfully emulated its popular format on iOS yet.
Last week at Game Connection, part of Paris Games Week, I got to grips with Traplight Games's What on Earth!, which may just be the answer we've been looking for.
The story is simple enough - aliens have been pointing their antennae at ear...
I'll admit that if I had known Muertitos was a match-3 puzzler before I had played it, I may have skipped it. I'm glad I didn't.
Not only does it have an art style and set of characters taken from traditional Mexican culture, it has an interesting take on the genre.
Rather than swapping the tiles in the grid, in Muertitos you push them in from the edges of the grid.
So, there are tiles - ...
Frederic - Evil Strikes Back is a Bronze Award-winning rhythm action battler. And you can grab it for nothing from the App Store right now.
The game sees you engaging in keytar battles. Tap when the musical notes line up with the keys on your mighty electronic piano to score points.

Are you an up and coming indie dev trying to get your latest title out there, in front of the public and members of the industry and press?
Well, this year's Apps World, taking place in the ExCel Centre on November 12th and 13th, is the prime place to prove your stuff on the big stage in the Big Indie Pitch, sponsored by Immersion.
Previous Big Indie Pitch entrants have gone on to top charts...
Super Secret Service is a two touch arcade game that's all about protectingf a fictional president from attack.
You control two members of the titular force, stationed at either side of a lectern from where the politician you're sworn to protect is delivering some sort of impassioned speech.
Enemies of freedom scoot through the audience, tossing projectiles at the pres. There are guns, tomat...
Boogey Boy is an auto-runner. It's a polished and preened auto-runner, and it has a couple of neat ideas that make it stand out from the pack, but it's an auto-runner all the same.
And if you're sick of not being able to control your speed in platformers it isn't going to be the game that changes your mind.
It's not exactly by the numbers, but it uses enough of them as pointers that it's har...
There's a hush. The arcade is entranced. The rattle of coins has dulled to almost total silence.
Only one controller is clacking, only one machine beeping. It's going to happen. Someone is going to beat the high score.
Concentration is etched on the challenger's furrowed brow. The arcade is holding its breath. The score inches up, a painstaking crawl towards something spectacular.
But no!...
There's now a version of Doodle Jump where you get to play as Batman.
Take a moment. Let that sink in. Let it creep over your skin and seep through your pores. Doodle Jump DC Super Heroes. Look at it.
The game sees you playing as a doodle-ified version of the Dark Knight Detective. You're still tilting your device to bounce on platforms, but you can also tap the screen to hurl a batarang in ...
Gold Award-winning auto-runner Boson X is free on the App Store right now. It's probably the best auto-runner than money can buy. And right now it's definitely the best auto-runner you can download for nothing.
The game sees you sprinting through a shifting tube of platforms, attempting to charge your energy meter up by running on glowing panels.

Excellent Connection - Words is a free one for iOS and Android that uses unlockable hints to help you fill in the blank letters.
There are over 300 puzzles in the game.
Each one starts out with a grid of draggable letters and an incomplete word.

The Counting Kingdom, a mathematical learning game aimed at younger players, is out now on iOS for £2.99 / $4.99.
The game drops you in the role of the Apprentice, a wizard who uses the power of basic arithmetic to fight the monsters invading his kingdom.
Despite its child-friendly look and feel, The Counting Kingdom's simple, math-based puzzles have proven fun for adults as well.

Gamevil's newest free to play title, Mark of the Dragon, landed on iOS and Android yesterday.
The combat strategy game lets you choose an element from fire, water, earth, and air, and then build up a kingdom to do battle with others.
As its name suggests, Mark of the Dragon also features dragons, which can be bred and flown into battle in third-person 3D. There are over 130 dragons available...
Everything slows down. There's a crack, a judder of armour, and the bullet flies out of my bolter. It finds its mark right between the eyes of a treacherous Chaos Marine, whose skull splits into multiple gory pieces.
This is Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf's piece-de-resistance, a bloody exclamation mark that emphasises the grim violence of the universe that the game is built around.
It's a win...
Super Evil Megacorp has banged the gong to announce the release dates for its mobile MOBA Vainglory (yes, the one Apple showed off during its iPhone 6 event).
Yes, that's a plural on "dates". It's not launching globally, but in various stages around the world, you see.
So, here's the lowdown:
- Vainglory was released in South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand on November 2nd.
- It ...
While playing Cosmic Crown I realise that it reminds me of superb roguelike Hoplite.
The two games are quite different, but they share a number of elements - they're both games of observation and tactics, for instance.
The idea in Cosmic Crown is to move a little goblin-like fella from one end of a narrow gauntlet to the other. The crown you're after is at the other end, you see.

The Gold Award-winning RGB Express has got its first update.
It adds 40 new levels for you to guide those coloured trucks around. That brings the total level count up to 280 now then.
The update also adds enhanced graphics for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. So it should look crisper on those large phone screens.
As well as bug fixes, the update also adds Japanese language support.

Bart Bonte has released his playful action-puzzler Sweet Drmzzz on iOS and Android today.
I had a look at the game a couple of weeks ago, and came away saying that it's like a slightly more friendly take on the Warioware style of game.
It starts with you going to sleep, and then a mini version of you sneaking out of your ear, hopping onto an alarm clock, and riding it to space.

This update should roll out on Android and iOS later on if it hasn't already.
