    Another Case Solved Review

    By

    Another Case Solved is the follow-up to developer Ars Thanea Games' ridiculously engaging match-3-meets-city builder, Puzzle Craft.  Like its predecessor, Another Case Solved relies primarily on puzzle-matching objects that are used as building blocks for progress throughout the game.  Unlike Puzzle Craft, this progress is less cyclical and more monetary, wrapped in an economy that makes the noir-themed newcomer notably more challenging, but rarely malicious.  With a number of variations on gameplay packed alongside the primary puzzle boards, Another Case Solved manages to differentiate itself while still offering all the trappings that made Puzzle Craft compelling.This time around, you are not the mayor of a fledgling village, but a newbie private detective in a Prohibition Era-styled city.  Sugar, not alcohol, is the banned substance and everyone from crooks to cops can be put on ice for having a sweet tooth.  You'll occasionally run into cases involving sugar smugglers and donut blackmail, but as a no-name private eye, you'll also take on work that requires chasing kittens and tracking down missing documents."All of these assignments, no matter their gravity, follow a similar format split into two camps.  Minor cases you find in the daily newspaper are basic gigs that merely require you to play the match-3 portion of the game.  These can be played over and over and are used to earn cash (known as "detective bucks") as well as credibility that unlocks more involved story missions.  The story missions, or major cases, are brought to you by characters in need and are the meat of Another Case Solved.  They not only present plot points involving recurring characters you'll meet throughout other major assignments, but require you to complete four different types of puzzles in order to crack the case.

    Feed Me Oil 2 Review

    By

    Feed Me Oil 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the quirky and offbeat 2011 physics-puzzler Feed Me Oil from Holy Water Games. Featuring a complete visual overhaul and dozens of new puzzles to complete, players will need to put their thinking caps on to make sure that all of the mechanical inhabitants of this oily little world get their inner engines up and running again. It's just a shame that the gameplay itself constantly feels like it's running on empty.The game plays out like an incredibly simplified cross between Where's My Water? and The Incredible Machine. At the start of each stage, players are tasked with placing various objects on the screen to help guide a stream of oil from a starting faucet and into a finishing area, designated by a dotted white line. You'll then hit a play button to see if your setup worked, adjusting and trying again if your calculations were a little bit off: these mech-animals are pretty hungry after all, and you'll need to deliver a numerical amount of oil to each one of them. Players can earn three stars in each stage by using the least amount of available parts to complete their oil feeding requirements."The visuals are easily the best part of the game, and a huge step up from the original 2011 puzzler. The world of Feed Me Oil 2 is full of quirky and mechanical fun, with many of the robotic animals watching you play with endearing googly eyes. From turtles and foxes, to snails and other creatures I can't even categorize, you'll always be surprised to see what kind of fun new screen is waiting around the next bend. While the backgrounds themselves are brought to life through a whimsical and almost painted design, the bubbly texture of the oil itself forms a nice contrast that really allows the game's presentation to shine (especially when it clashes with the water in the game).

    Fightback Review

    By

    Developer Ninja Theory has a short but sweet track record of quality console games, the last being January's DmC: Devil May Cry. So when asked to check out their newest title, Fightback on iOS, I was intrigued. This is the company's first venture into the world of mobile games, but I was confident that the company's prior success would be able to make the transition into the mobile market. Then, I looked at the game and I started to get nervous.It's easy to take one look at Fightback and start to judge it. It's a two-dimensional beat'em up with a protagonist that looks like a dark-haired Duke Nukem and plenty of dark and unimaginative stages. There's little about the presentation that's worth applauding, but I'd like to think that Ninja Theory realized this after jumping into development. Even though the presentation is often laughable, it gets to the point where it starts to feel like a cheesy "B" movie. I found myself chuckling at the giant muscle man storming into a room, beating people, and checking behind him before leaving.Unlike movies, cheese means nothing if gameplay doesn't back it up. Fortunately, Fightback's play is often as solid as the protagonist's abs. Right away, I started to pick up on some Mortal Kombat (2009) vibes. Those who played that reboot are likely to pick up on some of the similarities. While there's no super-exaggerated uppercut or gratuitous gore, you'll be able to punch, kick, and juggle enemies in the air until they're finished.

    Steampunk Tower Review

    By

    Your employer owns and operates the one and only Ethereum mine on earth, and he is quite the dapper gentleman. From beneath his posh top hat, he speaks to you: "I am not about to let the government take over my mine without a fight!" As Ethereum is the rarest of rare elements, there is money to be made - especially for your side. And so, with a laboratory packed to the brim with experimental weaponry, you must defend your employer's interests from an evil government hell-bent on taking that which does not belong to them.Chillingo is best known for a more casual approach to gaming, but with Steampunk Tower, the publisher turns to most tower defense tropes for a title that is accessible to newer players, but addictively satisfying to seasoned veterans. Whereas the genre has most often put an emphasis on preparing defenses and tending to multiple locations while fighting off enemy waves, Steampunk Tower instead places the focus on a single tower with varying slots to place your weapons."As opposed to most other TD games, however, your guns (consisting of four types: machine gun, cannon, lightning gun, and saw-propeller) can be assigned to any slot at any time by swiping the screen. The more weapons you purchase and place, the more slots become available. Your once nominal tower soon becomes a ziggurat of dizzying height, and a gruesome killing machine to all who would oppose you. Enemy waves approach from the left and right in various formations, so the ability to reposition your guns on the fly makes for a feeling of greater control and strategy.

    Tin Man Can Review

    Tic is a HoverBot who looks like a unicycle with long wobbly arms. That's not even the strangest part of Tin Man Can, either, as when the game opens a wormhole appears and drags Tic into another dimension, stranding him in a colorful world full of hills and hovatrons and holes. Now the little guy has to ride his way home, and you're just the arcade game expert to do it!

    He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe Review

    By

    Kids that grew up in the '80s are a lucky bunch. Wherever we go, there's our childhood. He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe for iOS is another example of modern media feeding our pangs of nostalgia—not only through its title character, but also its side-scrolling hack-and-slash gameplay. Like the original cartoon, He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe is simple, but kind of compelling. It won't keep you engaged for hours, but neither will it make you sneer "Nyaaah!"

    Side-scrolling runner games are nothing new, but Chillingo's Totem Runner is a true standout. With gorgeous visuals, a lush soundtrack, and intense action, this is a game that fans of the genre absolutely must play. Totem Runner opens with an impressive introduction to a magical, once-beautiful tribal world that has been corrupted and turned to darkness by a mysterious, malevolent power. As a fearless warrior, you must use your abilities to traverse the broken landscape, breathing life into your world and restoring it to its former glory.
