Hey, you there. What are you, on your 2,000th hole in Desert Golfing now?
Why not take a breather for another free, minimalist game of frustrating physics?
99 Problems is a plain, but pleasing action game of blocky evasion. You navigate upwards, through a corridor of square obstacles, tapping to jump in mid-air and letting go to let yourself drop.
Fly, fall, and wall-jump up and down thro...
To celebrate two years on the App Store, the Bronze Award-winning God of Blades by White Whale Games is free through September 29th.
Grab it here while you still can.
Our review of God of Blades called it a "relentlessly stylish sensory assault" that excels in its core mechanics despite a few flaws.
Even so, it's free, so what is there to lose? God of Blades normally sells for £1.99 / $2....
Nostalgia is a blunt weapon, and it has two ends. One will bludgeon you with dewy-eyed memories about old games often being amazing. The other will stun you with reminders that you used to pay for that fun in time and frustration.
Tactics Maiden is an old school SRPRG of weaponised nostalgia, which will hit you hard with both ends of the stick at once.
It starts raining down those blows righ...
Puzzle games are the bedrock of the iOS App Store. There's just something about sitting down and figuring out a riddle that suits these handheld devices.
But which ones should you spend your money on? What are the truly best puzzle games on iPhone and iPad?
For this list, we've had to lay down some ground rules or we'll be here all day. So we're looking for puzzles with distinct levels, and ...
Games like The Room and Forever Lost are so static.
Who wants to solve puzzles on solid ground when you could be doing it in a lift shaft that's tumbling down a lift shaft towards your inevitable demise?
That's the barmy logic behind iOS and Android head-scratcher Escape the Hellevator. You've got to solve puzzles, flip switches, and fiddle with inventory items - all while your stomach is in...
If your idea of a raft is something akin to that hunk of junk Tom Hanks escaped on in Castaway, you should see what the ninja of Ninja Raft have come up with.
It's nothing less than a hulking battleship, complete with a modular design for bolting on gun turrets and other defence mechanisms.
Makes you think that these ninja should drop the skulky, stabby-stabby malarkey and take up shipbuildi...
Square Rave looks to be the next twitchy rhythm-action game set to sink its musical fangs into me. That's a good thing, by the way.
It's the work of Brighton-based sound designer and musician Adam Hay, who has worked at Traveller's Tales, Rare, and is currently with The Chinese Room.
Square Rave is a side project, then, but that hasn't stopped it grabbing my attention.
Using just your fin...
Turbo Dismount is set to hit the App Store this Thursday. It's the crazy sequel to Stair Dismount, and as you might have guessed from the title it ups the ante ever so slightly.
This time around the ragdoll you're terrorising is driving around, and you need to make an obstacle course that's going to cause it as much pain as possible.
Choose the vehicle, put some obstacles and speed boost...
Ever the perpetual trouble-finders, Finn and Jake have even managed to make a stroll through Ooo's countryside somewhat dangerous. Well, dangerous for Jake's face, anyway.
Treasure Fetch - Adventure Time is like someone sprinkled a healthy dose of the Cartoon Network mega-hit all over that graphing calculator classic, Snake.
There's more to it than just that, of course, but it's still decide...
Escape the Hellevator might have a pun-tastic name, but it deals with one of the most serious matters affecting young people today - being trapped in a plummeting lift that represent the sins you've committed in your life.
The game is essentially a room escape title, but the room you're trying to escape happens to be speeding towards the ground at a rate of knots.
Obviously you're not just i...
FIFA 15 Ultimate Team is now nestling in the App Store, the Google Play Store, and the Windows Phone Store like a glorious Nikica Jelavic volley in the back of Newcastle's net.
We went hands-on with the soft launch version of the game last week, and you can check out our impressions by clicking that link. If you don't have time to read it, we were pretty impressed.
The kicking was smooth...
The sequel to Beach Buggy Blitz is now upon us, and I am very excited indeed.
I loved the first game, and Vector Unit's other major series - Riptide GP - is a personal favourite from the App Store.
Over the next week I'll be putting the free to play racer through its paces and finding out whether or not that excitement is well placed.
Ready? Set? Go.

Four years after a hugely successful launch, with over 500 million downloads since 2010, the bubbly slice 'em up Fruit Ninja is getting a massive update.
Not just that - the whole game has been "rebuilt from scratch."
Announced today by developer Halfbrick, the update will include a new, streamlined menu system and some cool gameplay effects for the game's various weapons and locations.

What do you get when you combine the original Clock Tower developer, Hifumi Kouno, with the twisted imagination of Team Silent veteran Masahiro Ito and the filmmaking expertise of Takashi Shimizu, director of Ju-On (The Grudge)?
You get Project Scissors, a spiritual sequel to the classic survival horror Clock Tower, headed to the PlayStation Vita, iOS, and Android devices.
There's no rel...
Tap Army puts you in control of your own little engine of war. An engine comprised of four Rambo-types ceaselessly marching forward, only stopping when their enemies have managed to overwhelm them.
It sounds kind of awesome, but it's not really as exciting as you'd think.
Get away from the chopper!
As your soldiers march ever-forward, enemies will approach from the top of the screen. You'...
So you regret installing iOS 8. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We've all woken up one morning with a strange operating system on our phone, and we wish we could take it back.
We wanted to put together a quick article on how to downgrade your phone back to iOS 7, in case you regret turning your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 into a slow and sluggish lump of coal.
And we mean quick, because this loophole...
Konami and tri-Ace have partnered up to create Chronos Ring. It's a new RPG for iOS and Android expected to release in Japan this autumn.
We don't know much about it a this point other than that it will feature vertical 3D battles.
NeoGAF user going by the name "Baust" has also translated a line from the game's website. "Rebel against your fate as you manipulate time on the battlefield," it...
What could be more relaxing than a Leaf on the Wind?
Yes, that's the title of this physics-based puzzler and, actually, it's not quite as soothing as you may be led to belive.
While Leaf on the Wind could be compared to thatgamecompany's Flower, it a little more brutal than that.
Your task is to blow a collection of leaves across a hazardous level by swiping to command the wind.
Yes, ...
Downwell is a game built entirely around one of the best stylised pieces of clothing in Bayonetta. It's the gun shoes, of course.
This 2D vertical platformer from Japanese developer Ojiro Fumoto (aka "moppin") tasks you with travelling down a well. There are frogs, cute monsters, and other weird pixel creatures to shoot and avoid.
Not only is Downwell highly fashionably (guns as shoes, man),...
If you're a subscriber to the AppSpy channel on YouTube then you'll know that I've already been hands-on with the soft-launched version of Plunder Pirates.
I enjoyed the time I spent with it, and I especially appreciated the tip-top presentation that set it apart from other strategy management games that have flooded the App Store.
Now the game is out globally I've got a chance to revisit it...
