Eschewing the likes of Openfeint and Game Center, Jelly Wars employs Star Arcade Oy's very own social gaming platform to pit iOS, Android, and Symbian gamers from across the globe against each other in quirky turn-based battles...
The makers of "Vincere Totus Astrum" return, this time reviving a golden oldie from 1979! If "Lunar Lander" games just aren't challenging enough for you any more, this is one you definitely don't want to miss out on.
An imbalanced title if there ever was one! "Desert Quest" packs in gorgeous visuals, variety, smoothly working technicals, and plenty of content. It's set back by the fact that the core of its gameplay is composed of rather lackluster combat and a find-the-needle-in-the-haystack approach to mission objectives.
Watch out -- this one might blow your fingers off! Well, that's what some of the promotional material for "Ninja Sniper" suggests, but rest assured that sufficient work went into the translation of what little text lies inside. If you're a twitch shooter fan and always wanted to be a ninja, this one might be right up your alley!
The whole hand-drawn graphics gimmick has been done a thousand times before on iOS, yet something about Morten Andersen's App Store debut, Cute Shoot!, still managed to pique this doodle-weary reviewer's interest. Yeah, you guessed it, it was the game's utterly crazy plot which revolves around a badass kitty armed with a machine gun mowing down hordes of monsters...
Behold, a new cross between the side-scrolling platformer and the physics puzzler is born! Plugging "DEO" into a specific category is a challenge in and of itself, but if you're a fan of either of those genres you'll probably find lots to appreciate in this one from Strapped to a Meteor.
"Project: Breaking Point" is what would happen if an "Arkanoid" arcade cabinet suddenly popped up in the middle of a techno rave. Rough around the edges but content-packed, this one promises a lot of entertainment for lenient genre fans with a taste for rainbows.
If you've been following iFanzine for awhile you'll no doubt remember "Yslandia," brought to us by MovingPlayer and BulkyPix last October. I wasn't sure what to expect when MovingPlayer made the jump from MMORPGs to casual puzzlers, but after "Drag'On" you'll hear no complaints from me if they decide to spend some more time in their newfound niche!
One of the App Store's true hidden gems, "Alpha Swarm" lifts elements from the logic puzzle, physics puzzle, and shoot 'em up genres, blending them into a wonderfully refreshing experience. Now, if only it weren't marred by a few interface flaws!
