The Secret Cove is an upcoming game inspired (and what adventure game isn't?) by the majestic pointing and clicking of Myst, and other classics.
It is currently on Kickstarter for the next 23 days, looking to raise £50,000 to bring the game to Windows 8 tablets, iOS, and Android.
Based on the Kickstarter video above, The Secret Cove seems like a hardy mix of old adventure game tropes, w...
Splode 'n' Die has an interesting central idea. Coloured blobs roll down a path and you need to tap various lasers to kill them.
Match three of the same colour and you'll cause a chain reaction that clears a good chunk of the cutesy balls of goo from the screen.
The problem is it's a bit too tough, to the point where you'll just get frustrated and stop playing. That neat idea never quite bui...
One Man Left will be bringing Tilt to Live: Gauntlet's Revenge to iOS and Android this October.
It's a proper standalone game, separate from the other Tilt to Live games, and it's ruddy hard, too.
Yep, I've been playing it, and have some details for you, if you're interested.
We already know that Gauntlet's Revenge started out life as a Gauntlet Mode DLC for Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous. B...
Vainglory is a game with its cheeks puffed out and its hair ruffled in a disordered but patently stylish manner. The showcase game of the iPhone 6 launch is out in the Philippines right now, so we thought we'd have a play.
You can check out the results in the video above. It's a reasonably shiny riff on the MOBA template. There are lanes, there are minions, there are heroes, and there are r...
It's about time I got to be an imp; those notoriously deviant creatures of fantasy. Rather than be annoyed by them, I can finally be one in Imps In Tokyo.
This debut story-driven action game from Polish studio We Are Vigilantes doesn't look half-bad.
Unfortunately, the video below and the developer's description of the game doesn't fully communicate what you do in the game.

Every time you start an iOS game, you step into the shoes of someone new.
This month we got to be a Cold War spy, a delivery truck driver, and a security guard in a restaurant where the animatronic animals come to life and feed on human flesh.

Updated on September 30th at 15:30: Stolen Couch has got in touch to let us know some of the details about Castaway Paradise that we didn't before.
Firstly, the game will be a timed-exclusive for iOS when it's released next week, on October 9th.
Secondly, we're told that the "VIP subscriptions" are not auto renewable. You purchase them once for, either, one month, six months, of 12 months.

If you're looking for an Animal Crossing-style game for mobile then be happy - next week you'll finally be served one. Yep, Castaway Paradise is coming out on October 9th.
Stolen Couch Games soft-launched Castaway Paradise earlier this year in the Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian App Stores.
Now, with lots of testing behind it, the Dutch studio is ready to launch the game worldwide. It ...
Now this is a nice surprise. There's a new Assassin's Creed game coming to iOS and it's not a card battler, tabletop game, pirate ship spin-off, side-scrolling action game, or a multiplayer arena battler.
It's actually a proper, bonafide Assassin's Creed game. With an open world, social stealth, assassinations, hiding in haystacks, sword fights with guards, and smoke bombs.
Sure, it's a ...

Roofdog Games has soft-launched Pocket Road Trip (the "faster, cooler" successor to Extreme Road Trip) on the New Zealand and Australian App Stores.
It'll be coming out to the rest of the world on Android and iOS on October 7th. I'm going to tell you about it.

Ubisoft has soft-launched Assassin's Creed - Identity in the Australian and New Zealand App Stores. It's the closest we've got to a proper Assassin's Creed game on smartphones so far.
It's an action-RPG (a super lite RPG) that has you create your own assassin and have them complete short missions during the Italian Renaissance.
What will please many of you is knowing that Identity has the p...
If you've seen my hands-on video with the game already over on AppSpy, then you'll know that Kill Shot is setting itself up to be a cross between Sniper Elite and one of those hunting games Glu likes to put out every now and again.
I'm up for a bit of first person shooty shooty action where I can say "phwoar, look at that big gun" and "ouch, I bet that hurt", so I'm pretty excited to spend a we...
Silver Award-winning intelligent action-adventure Revolution 60 is on sale on the App Store. Well, technically it's still free on the App Store, but the IAP you buy to unlock all of the game has been cut down to £2.49 / $3.99.
The game is a mix of quick-time events, tactical combat, and tough decisions, all presented in a unique style.
At review we described Revolution 60 as "a touch dis...
Asphalt Overdrive is a spin off from the entertaining racing series that takes the cars and the shininess that exemplify Gameloft's driving opus and then tosses everything else out.
Rather than driving around impressive, twisting raceways in break-neck competition with other super cars, here you're trying to escape from the police in an auto-runner that lets you do spins off ramps.
It's pret...
Thursday, October 2nd will see the iOS release of PikPok Games and Adult Swim's recently announced match-3 RPG, Adventure Xpress.
In Adventure Xpress, you play a lone mail carrier in a world strangely hostile to postal workers.
As you journey across the land trying to carry out your delivery duties, you'll have to fend off monsters and bandits by playing match-3 puzzles.

The tower defence genre is a bit of a 'cursed treasure' for any developer.
It looks so tantalisingly shiny. The genre works a treat on touchscreen devices, and what's more there seems to be an insatiable appetite among gamers for more of it.
And yet, draw closer to this attractive stash, and you'll find an immortal champion ready to hack down anyone who tries to steal the jewelled tower defe...
Solo developer Stefan Pratter is making Wicked Lair, which looks like it will please fans of the original Dungeon Keeper (emphasis on "original").
It involves building out a 2D multi-level dungeon as deep into the ground as you can, spawning horrible monsters, and then sending them out to destroy a town.
There are 20 different dungeon types and over 150 monsters to unlock and send off on a m...
10tons's latest soft-launched game is Spellspire, which is a mash up of word games and fantasy action-RPGs.
Spellspire has you play the role of a dweeby magician who unwisely battles knights, skeletons, and ferocious monsters. It's not Harry Potter, but it's close.
You have to help him out by picking out letters from a grid in order to create words. Once you've spelled a word out you can the...
The nights are getting in. The temperature's dropping. It's now far more socially acceptable to sit inside all day playing video games. Yay.
To help you plan out your next month of being a hermit, here are 15 iOS and Android games that will keep you going through the chilly months. Long RPGs, quick fire getaways, and spooky Halloween-flavoured treats.
As always, you should not take these dat...
The monetisation of mobile games makes things difficult to keep track of sometimes.
Take this news for instance: Zepto Labs has just soft-launched a freemium version of the Silver Award-winning Cut the Rope 2 on the Canadian iOS App Store.
The game has been available since December 2013 with a £1.99 price tag attached, along with a number of optional IAPs.
Earlier this year, Zepto decided...
