Incandescence is a game for people like me, and probably people like you, too. It's coming out for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone on October 16th.
Unable to work without music, I find myself finger drumming on my desk every other minute of my waking life. A song comes on, and there I am, drumming away.
This is probably why Incandescence seems very easy to me.
It's an experimental game th...
For me, the best video game representation of the beautiful game isn't about polygons and accurate team line-ups. It's Sensible Soccer on the Amiga.
It's hilarious sliding tackles and a Dutch national team entirely comprised of players whose names you can't say because you're laughing too much.
That's the vibe that Tiki Taka Soccer gives off. It's a different sort of beast to Sensible, but i...
Updated on October 7th, at 12:26: We've given this guide a bit of a spring clean to bring us up to date with the Rebels level pack.
So we've added videos for all 12 bird side and all 12 pork side levels in that update. Plus, all the levels for the Master Your Destiny special update.
We've also added more collectible items and more reward chapter videos. Check it out!

Exozet's version of Carcassonne on Windows Phone, Windows 8, and Android has been updated with online play, so you can place tiles without anyone else being in the same room.
It's cross platform multiplayer as well, so you can play with your friends regardless of what they stuff into their pocket when they decide it's time to go to the shops for booze and cigs.
Right now there's just a q...
Rovio is giving you the chance to make a level in the next episode of Angry Birds. It's all to celebrate the game's fifth "birdday", which is happening on December 11th.
All you need to do to enter is head over to the official Angry Birds website by following this link and submit a sketch, painting, or photo using the form provided.
The contest closes on October 15th, and you need to cho...
How do you fancy a deathly dance? Yes - well, Featherweight Games has announced that Enterchained is coming out on October 7th.
As I told you back in July, Enterchained has you controlling two gladiators fighting for their lives in a coliseum's arena.
They've been tied together with a chain, which should make things more difficult for them, but you'll be using it to your advantage.
You co...
Rovio has announced that an official Angry Birds movie will be coming out in the summer of 2016.
The reveal came after one billion birds were flung by you lot in the game over the past 48 hours.
Doing this unlocked the announcement, including the details of the voice cast, as well as a sneak peek at the characters that will star in the film.
As you can see in the image above, the bird...
It's always great when we snag an exclusive here at Pocket Gamer, and boy do we have a scoop for you.
After contacting our friends in 'the movie business', we've managed to nab the first pages of the script for the upcoming Tetris motion picture.
It's a pretty rough draft, but it looks like we're in for romance, Russians, muscular men, and plenty of shape-moving.
I for one cannot wait unt...
Fan of snare rushes and twitchy rhythm-dodging? Cosmophony might be up your street, then.
It's a colourful rhythm shooter that only has one type of music: drum 'n' bass. In fact, it's all by one artist, and that is DJ Salaryman of RAM Records.
Seeing as I can't work without music that has a tempo below 160bpm pounding in my ears, Cosmophony appeals to me.
The game's plot only increases th...
Nature abhors a vacuum. So, like green shoots breaking up the concrete of an abandoned parking lot, the success of World of Tanks on PC ensured that similar games would arrive for mobile.
Now, of course, Wargaming has provided us with the real deal in the form of World of Tanks: Blitz. That, however, is (currently) iOS only.
Luckily, for Android gamers, that legion of mimics is still out the...
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...
As you surely know by now, Microsoft is set to acquire Minecraft developer Mojang for $2.5 billion.
Microsoft said last week when the news was announced that Minecraft - Pocket Edition and the upcoming Vita version wouldn't be affected by its acquisition.
What was left out, however, was the possibility of Minecraft coming to Windows Phone.
That all changed last Friday. Xbox chief Phil Spe...
Ever had a dream that you were being chased by monsters? If you have, you may find that The Maze Runner brings you out in a cold sweat.
Oh, by the way, don't confuse this The Maze Runner with the movie and spin-off game The Maze Runner (on iOS [download] and Android [download]). This is something entirely separate.
This one is a 2D puzzle game escaping monsters in a grid-based maze. You have...
Have you ever wanted to create your own interactive fiction? Well now you can with inklewriter.
It's a surprisingly powerful, free to use piece of web-based software from the dev behind 80 Days and Down Among the Dead Men.
The program, which you can have a look at here, lets you string together pieces of story to create a branching narrative. When you're done you can share what you've create...
Radiangames reckons that Inferno 2 - the sequel to the Bronze Award-winning Inferno+ - will arrive for iOS on October 2nd.
That's a prediction and a hope rather than a confirmed date, mind.
As with Inferno+, this sequel is a neon-heavy twin-stick shooter that takes place in maze-like levels. It has 80 levels that'll have you dodging bullets and bouncing them around corners.

Dreamgate Studios has released its light-bending casual puzzler Light in the Dark for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone today.
I took a look at Light in the Dark just last week and, you know what, I'm really quite into it.
You could remark that, yes, it's just another casual puzzle game with cute characters. But this is the comfort food of mobile gaming and it's a ripe example of it.
Your g...
Somewhere beyond the rows of white picket fences and pristine cul-de-sacs of suburban America, a civil defense siren wails. The BBQ is ruined. This is not a drill.
The upcoming Cold War-inspired comedy game 60 Seconds will place you in the role of Ted, an average, hard working family man caught in the middle of a nuclear war.
Toss that "duck and cover" nonsense out the window. When that alar...
Light in the Dark is a casual puzzle about helping peculiar light-based creatures called totems to find their babies. It should be coming to Android, iOS, and Windows Phone this month.
It's a casual puzzler and the first game from Dreamgate Studios which, it turns out, consists of people who worked on XCOM, BioShock, and Fallout.
I've spent a little bit of time with Light in the Dark and enj...
Bronze Award-winning craft-'em-up Terraria is now available for Windows Phones, meaning gamers of a Microsoft mobile persuasion can grab the side-on survival gem right now.
The game sees you travelling through a hostile world, building shelter, killing beasts, and crafting new equipment so you'll stay alive a little bit longer.
When we reviewed the iOS version we said "Terraria's mix of ...
Game Oven, the folks behind two-player mobile dancing game Bounden, have just announced a new game called Jelly Reef for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
In Jelly Reef, you’ll use the touchscreen to manipulate the oceanic elements, taking control of sea currents to guide a swarm of jellyfish around several lively, subaquatic levels.
Based on the lovely handdrawn artwork and cross-sectioned o...
