Brave Furries is a tough game to pin down. It shares similarities with a few different puzzlers (Sokoban and Peg Jumpers come immediately to mind), and it utilizes a rather interesting method of monetization.
But while the ways Brave Furries tries to nudge you towards your wallet are unique, they don't feel right in a paid game. And they're actually teresting than the puzzles themselves....
From the creators of the Bronze Award-winning Incredipede and Pineapple Smash Crew comes Deep Under the Sky, a mesmerizingly alien game that puts players in control of a jellyfish-like creature trying to keep its species alive.
Deep Under the Sky will be coming to iOS and Android on August 20th, and PC/Mac on August 22nd.
A price has not yet been announced.
With its simple, one-tap contro...
This week, members of the Pocket Gamer and AppSpy crew are at Gamescom in Cologne. Between eating our collective body weight sausages, we'll be bringing you quick-fire impressions of our favourite games on show.
Out There: Omega Edition isn't going to be a huge, game-changing update to the original space-faring adventure game, Out There.
Sure, the update will add 50 teractive stor...

Assault Vector is an inoffensive space-based strategy game that looks and feels like a board game.
Your aim is to destroy allTHE ships on the board or reach the green block exit to proceed to the next stage. However, you only receive upgrades by annihilating the opposition.

If you move into any ship's attack zone, your ship will be fired upon, so the only way to take out enemy shi...
Supermassive is the word that scientists use to describe the biggest black holes they come across. They're very intimidating: enormous, matter-eating rips in space.
It's the daunting nature of the subject behind this word that encouraged Pixelnest Studio to use it for its space shooter.
You see, each new enemy you come across in Supermassive is bigger and meaner than the last.
The bosses ...
The longer you look at your hands the weirder they look.
This is something I've noticed after playing Finger Simulator. It's somehow beautiful and disgusting at the same time.
Thankfully, it only takes a few minutes so it's over quick. It'll probably last with you for a lot longer.
Finger Simulator was made by Mario von Rickenbach and Michael Frei for the Fantoche Animation Festival ...
What possesses a person to decide that dropping head-first into a small pool of water from 20 metres up is a good idea?
There has to be a certain level of stupidity there, surely. Or maybe just a complete disregard for one's mortality.
Perhaps that explains why the participants of Zombie High Dive are so fearless in their exaggerated brand of high-diving. They're already pretty brainless, as...
Space Quest fans have a reason to smile as Bik is coming out tonight. Yes, like the comedic sci-fi adventure series, Bik is full of jokes and space oddities.
In short, you'll be playing as a young man who gets abducted by aliens while on a camping trip. You'll escape and, along with your new sausage-headed friends, attempt to find a way back home.
You'll eat brownies, foil the plans of a...
PSP horror title Corpse Party has been fitted out with the latest in tap and swipe technology. In other words, it's coming to iOS tonight.
Corpse Party is an isometric horror game about a bunch of students who attempt to survive a blood-soaked mystery.
Things kick off as one of the students gets hold of a cursed charm. It transports the class to a parallel world inside the demolished Tenjn E...
It's week four of the Curse of Naxxramas expansion for Hearthstone, which means The Construct Quarter is now available to purchase and play.
As you should be familiar with by now, you can grab this latest Quarter for £4.99 / $6.99, or 700 in-game gold. Saying that, you can get it for a little cheaper through the bundled deals.
The Construct Quarter consists of oozing laboratories where Kel'T...
Sci-fi tower defence game Sentinel 4: Dark Star has just hit the App Store in New Zealand. That means it'll be shooting its way on to the UK store at midnight tonight. Which is nice.
The game sticks pretty closely to the tower defence playbook, especially in the early skirmishes. There's a path, there are some aliens, now build towers and murder the aliens as they walk along said path.
I...
If you like cards and sweaty men hugging each other then it's a momentous day. 2K has just released WWE SuperCard on the New Zealand App Store, which means it should be hitting the UK at midnight tonight.
The game apparently mashes together the larger-than-life action of the WWE and the smaller-than-life action of a card battler. Presumably creating something life-sized?
There'll be PvP ...
The term "primitives" may make you think of cavemen, or bacteria, or even those weird lizard-things that preceded dinosaurs.
Make some room in your brain, because now the world also applies to a simple but compelling puzzle / line-drawing game from Crazy Labs.
That's not to say Primitives is devoid of problems, however. Despite having a good basic premise and some clever level design, there ...
Arcane Soul, a new action-packed fantasy role-playing game from developer mSeed, is now available to download from both the App Store and Google Play.
In this 2D slash-'em-up, you're tasked with choosing one of three playable characters (Luke and Ellisa who wield swords and magic with equal skill, or Lith who wields dual daggers) and traveling across forests and through dungeons taking on enemi...
Pako - Car Chase Simulator is a quick-fire police dodger that's just hit the New Zealand App Store. By my calculations that means it should be out in the UK at midnight tonight.
It also happened to come second in the Big Indie Pitch at Pocket Gamer Connects in Helsinki earlier in the year.
The game sees you controlling a little car. Tap the left of the screen to go left and the right of ...
Champ Man 15 has just hit the New Zealand App Store, which means it should be making its way to UK shores at midnight tonight. It also means we can show you some screenshots of the game. Finally.
If you're not familiar with the series, Champ Man used to be called Championship Manager, and sees you leading a football (or soccer) team through the leagues to some form of impermanent glory. The...
Bronze Award-winning comic-book death race SXPD has had its price slashed down to nothing at all on the App Store. So if you fancy some stark black and white bike violence, now's the perfect time to grab it.
And on top of that the game is now a Universal app, so iPhone users can have a crack at firing rockets at punks in a dystopian future. I seem to be writing 'dystopian' a lot today.

Bronze Award-winning slidy third-person shooter Epoch 2 has had its price on the App Store slashed down to nothing at all, which we can all agree is pretty darn cheap.
The game sees you playing a robot in a dystopian future. You're the only good robot, and you're tasked with shooting every other automaton to bits. You slide around from cover-point to cover-point, blasting everything that ha...
