Hyspherical is a game that I must write about based solely upon its title pun.
As it turns out, it's not a very funny game at all. It's a tough timing-based puzzle game that, as the developer says, " may just bring out the ugliness in you."
Each of the 100 levels asks you to place a sphere into orbit by tapping into the centre of a circle.
To win that level, the sphere, or spheres, must ...
Kemco's latest English language translation on iOS is RPG Crystareino.
It follows a hero's child as they find themselves summoned into another world with the sacred beast Eppol.
They have to find their way back, but doing so involves defeating the Demon King. This is the set-up for another of Kemco's retro-style RPGs.
Unique to this one is the ability to create a character out of 20 diffe...
Outcast Odyssey, for those of you who haven't heard of or played it, is a rather interesting iPhone, iPad, and soon-to-be Android title from developers Magic Pixel Games and Bandai Namco Games America.
It's interesting because it takes the best features of dungeon crawler games and mashes them together with the best features of the card battler genre to create a fast-paced adventure title that'...
The first episode of The Silent Age came out of nowhere. It showed up on the App Store practically unannounced, as an entirely free game.
And it turned out to be an excellent point and click adventure with sharp visual design, an interesting time-hopping puzzle mechanic, and a tantalising story that left us waiting for a sequel.
A year and a bit later and here we are with the second (and fin...
Galaxy Siege 2 lets you build a spaceship out of cubes so that you can steadily conquer the galaxy.
In the engineering station, you're able to piece together your ship from various modules, adding armour and weapons to it.
Once your spaceship is ready, you can head out into space to complete missions, which mostly involves shooting a variety of cartoon aliens and enemy ships.
If you're s...
Updated on October 16th at 14:15: The Android version of NBA 2K15 will be exclusive to the Amazon App Store and Amazon's Fire phone, tablets, and TV.
Yep, sorry Android players, you won't be able to play this one (at least for now) unless you own one of Amazon's new tech bits.
The Android version of NBA 2K15 will be out on October 28th.
Original story follows...

Right, out of bed, time to get up, and I have just the thing to wake you up, too. SUPERHYPER.
This is the lo-fi twitch action game that we've mentioned on PG before. It's one for those of you who enjoy Super Hexagon, certainly.
You're tasked with, quite simply, switching between three lanes to dodge holes in the track. You need to react fast at all times, and it helps if you get hyper, a...
It seems that 2K Sports has seen fit to bring its annual iteration of big league basketball to mobile this year. Yep, NBA 2K15 is now available on iOS.
This comes after I had a little moan about the card-based companion app for the console versions of NBA 2K15 - called My NBA 2K15 - earlier this week.
My anticipation was that what some might call the 'proper' NBA 2K game, the one in which ...
Square Enix has released Chaos Rings III onto the App Store. Well, it has in Japan, anyway, and we expect a Western release is still a way down the line.
The game is sort of the third entry in the hugely successful mobile RPG series, and adds a third playable character to the scrapping. There’s a battle arena-y mode as well.
You can check out our hands-on video with the Tokyo Game Show b...
Helix is a dangerously simple retro arcade game from 868-Hack creator Michael Brough. It’s jaggedly retro, painfully addictive, and out on the App Store right now.
You control everything with a single finger, twirling it anywhere on the screen to move your strange craft around. Rather than shooting enemies, you destroy them by encircling them.
Each weird creature you encounter has a ring...
The Silent Age was a special treat. It came out of nowhere, was completely free, and offered a few hours of high quality point and click fun.
The idea was, it turns out, to give the opening chapter away for free and then follow up soon after with a paid second chapter. Well here we are, a year and change later, with a second episode.
As ever, it's about bouncing between the groovy 1970s ("th...
This is part two of our guide for the timeline-hopping adventure game The Silent Age: Episode Two.
A quick note on our wording. We're calling the groovy 1970s "the past" in this guid, and the post-apocalyptic 2012 will be described as "the future". Deal with it.
For chapters six, seven, and eight, click here.

FC Barcelona Trivia Fans is a popular quiz app from Etermax - the developer responsible for Trivia Crack.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, FC Barcelona Trivia Fans allows you to experience the rich history of - you guessed it - FC Barcelona as you answer questions and challenge other fans from across the globe in six unique categories: History, Players, Coaches, Trophies, Curiositie...
House on Fire has finally launched the second (and last) episode of its well-loved, time-travelling adventure game, The Silent Age.
It's available as an in-app purchase inside the first game, on both iOS and Android, and costs £2.99 / $4.99.
If you missed the first game, it was about a humble janitor with a glorious moustache, who got his hands on a portable time machine and was dragged ...
Quick, competitive multiplayer is a growing trend in the PC and console scene, and it looks like Donut Games is getting ready to give the mobile side its share.
Today, Donut Games, the studio behind Traps n' Gemstones, released a few screenshots for their upcoming game Micro Battles.
As the name suggests, Micro Battles is a compilation of minigames centered on gameplay that is quick, com...
The free to play strategic city builder WinterForts: Exiled Kingdom released worldwide last week for iOS and Android devices. It is developed by Norsfell and published by Execution Labs.
Set in an icy realm called Drahalla, rooted in Norse mythology, and inspired, in part, by Game of Thrones, WinterForts: Exiled Kingdom aims to engage players narratively, while still offering competitive PvP ba...
The biggest update yet for the Silver Award-winning Galaxy on Fire - Alliances adds a new game mode that enables alliances to dominate an entire server.
Warzone mode has its own battle servers and compact star maps that can hold no more than 1000 players.
When entering, you'll start in one of the 12 outer spawn clusters, and then battle for the "Inner Realm" where the most valuable planets ...
Deadly Bullet developer Tommi Saalasti has released a challenging walking simulator called Strung Along for iOS and Android.
While the urge is to compare Strung Along to QWOP, it being a walking simulator of sorts, it has enough character to be discussed by itself.
The challenge here is to walk a puppet across a hazardous theatrical stage.
All you have to do is tap the big blue and red bu...
It's all about customisation these days. The kids are crazy about it. Or so we're told.
Perhaps this is why Welsh studio Dojo Arcade have focused so much on this aspect for their upcoming iOS creature creator and real-time arena battler, Creature Battle Lab.
You are a scientist of some sort, probably the underground variety that hides from animal rights activists. I can only hope the promise...
Solo Canadian developer Chris Savory tells us that Swap Heroes will be coming to iOS next Tuesday, October 21st.
He describes Swap Heroes as being a "casual turn-based strategy adventure".
But that doesn't help you visualize just how cute this little game is.
You need to watch the video below to really appreciate the wonderful pixel art by Scribblenauts artist Tori Sang, and the soundtrac...
