As I prepared to write this Contraption Maker preview, the realization of why my Grandma hates Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure suddenly hit me. It was, after all, the movie that introduced me to the beautiful chaos that is the Rube Goldberg device.

Think your job sucks? Imagine if your vocation involved nothing except risking your life to grow a plant that will inevitably wind up munching on you. In They Need to be Fed 2 for iOS, you guide the main character through all manner of perilous traps, only to throw him in the mouth of Audrey II’s shadowy cousin at the end of each level. It’s a crummy destiny for the little dude, but it’s also a fun game.

Mittens is a physics puzzle game from Disney, wherein you play as a cat named Mittens and its up to you to collect milk, collect balloons and win the heart of Mia. Getting to Mia is not the easiest task when there’s plenty of obstacles in your way. With Gamezebo’s quick start guide, you’ll have all of the tips, tricks, and walkthroughs you’ll need to stay ahead of the game.

Contrary to my initial beliefs, Mittens is not a game about keeping your hands warm during those cold winter months. But that’s probably a good thing, because the actual premise of this cutesy casual game is a lot more fun and appealing. Coming hot on the heels of the colossal success of Where’s My Water? and Where’s My Perry?, Disney’s latest take on the physics-based puzzler is all about love, cats, and disgruntled city dwellers.

If we were to make a short list of the best mobile physics puzzlers, Disney’s Where’s My Water? would be right up there with Angry Birds and Cut the Rope.  It’s just that good.  And while we’ve enjoyed its many content updates and spin-offs (what Phineas and Ferb fan doesn’t love Where’s My Perry?), there’s one question that’s yet to be answered: could Disney do it again?

When evil threatens the innocent, Buzz Lightyear is bound by honor and Star Command to quell the danger. Bonus points if he destroys as much property as possible while restoring the peace. Toy Story: Smash It is a 3D physics game in the style of Boom Blox that has lots of the things kids love best: The cast of the Toy Story movie, great visuals, and an excuse to fling stuff at block towers. 

The success of Angry Birds means that there will inevitably be copycats, and the fact of the matter is there have been plenty to grace the App Store already. In the case of Pota-Toss World Tour, it's the latest in a long line of spinoffs with just enough differences to make it feel unique yet still derivative. Despite its predecessor's focus on GPS-based levels and intriguing locales, the follow-up feels stunted and more than a little lazy. Perhaps the potatoes featured in Pota-Toss World Tour are actually couch potatoes rather than the adventurous spuds seen in action in the original game. 

No doubt there are plenty of people who deserve a cranial readjustment courtesy of some sports equipment: movie patrons that leave their phones on, commuters who have full-volume conversations on the train, and anyone who gets more than three samples at a crowded Baskin Robbins.  For Tennis in the Face protagonist Pete Pagassi, that type of person is anyone affiliated with the creation, distribution, or consumption of Explodz Energy Drink.

In Gravity Racing Madness, you control a small ball rolling along an undulating landscape. You have seven seconds to get from one checkered flag to the next, each interval representing one of 70 twisting, topsy-turvy levels. If you fail to make it in time, the game puts you back to the start of the last level you completed and sets you on your way to do it again.

No doubt you’ve played miniature golf at some point in your life. Maybe you even experienced the game on one of those cool courses that are decorated with fiberglass dinosaurs and rusty windmill blades that squeal like tortured rabbits as they rotate forever and ever. But not even a day at Pedro’s Crazy Golf Extravaganza can prepare you for the wonders—and occasional frustration—of playing a version of golf that features traps, trampolines, and a scaly mammal.
