Beloved indie game developers are headed to Dyscourse in surprise bonus scenario
By Joe Jasko
It's only been a few short days since we brought you our in-depth preview of Owlchemy Labs' highly stylized survival game Dyscourse, which follows a group of survivors who crash-land on an island and must learn to adapt to the strange new world around them. In the game, the player's decisions will influence what ultimately happens to each one of these survivors, as they get to know them, or consequently, let them go.But now Owlchemy Labs has revealed another unexpected and all-too-awesome surprise that will accompany the upcoming game. In addition to the regular scenario that features protagonist Rita and the fellow survivors she befriends, Dyscourse will now also be released with an ingenious bonus scenario called "Indie Plane Crash," which features ten of your favorite indie game developers themselves, fully rendered in all of Dyscourse's cardboard-style glory. Seriously, it's that cool."Among some of these renowned indie developers are the legendary Tim Schafer of Double Fine, Edmund McMillen of Super Meat Boy fame, and even Phil Tibitoski of the lovingly weird Octodad. Alex Schwartz of Owlchemy Labs has also posed the all-important question for players to ponder regarding the "Indie Plane Crash" scenario: "They can code, but can they catch cod?" A valid point, to be sure, and as if there wasn't enough of an incentive already to donate to the project's ongoing Kickstarter page, then I don't really know what else you could ask for now.Cut the Rope 2 gets its first teaser trailer
By Joe Jasko
ZeptoLab has released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming game Cut the Rope 2, and it turns out the highly-anticipated mobile sequel now has an official subtitle. Newly christened Cut the Rope 2: Om Nom's Unexpected Adventure, it looks like our little green alien pal may have gone missing somewhere along the way!The brief 20-second video showcases Om Nom sailing through an open blue sky while attached to his titular rope, as dozens of those delicious-looking candies float on by. The video ends with the hashtag "OmNomIsMissing," which seems to be our only real tangible clue thus far as to where ZeptoLab plans on taking us for this go around.And while we've still yet to see anything regarding the actual gameplay of Cut the Rope 2 at this point, at least we should be finding out soon, as the game's release is still scheduled for some time "this holiday season."So does anyone have any ideas as to why Om Nom might be missing, or just where the heck he's gone off to for that matter? He does have a big sequel coming up after all, that slacker. Help us figure this one out in the replies!Free Games and Sales: Papa Sangre II, Trouserheart and more!

By Joe Jasko
It's no secret that Temple Run has become a force to be reckoned with on the App Store today. Not only does it continuously hold a spot on the App Store Top 100 charts, but it also inspired a number of direct sequels and spin-off games, such as Temple Run: Oz and Temple Run 2. But even beyond that, Temple Run had a huge hand in crafting a brand new game genre that has since taken the mobile world by storm: the endless runner.Now it's pretty safe to assume that you've seen a game or two appear on the App Store that plays a bit like Temple Run, and for good reason: there are a lot of them these days. So we've decided to compile a list of some of our favorite mobile games that offer a gameplay experience that's similar to Temple Run."Do you like our picks? Do you have a few good ones that we may have missed? Don't be afraid to let us know of any other games like Temple Run down in the replies!This Week in China: Print is dead
By Jim Squires
There was a time right here in North America where the newsstands were lined with gaming magazines. EGM, GamePro, Nintendo Power; if you stuck Metroid on the cover, you were going to sell some copies.

And if you thought this was a Western phenomenon, this week's news from China will prove you wrong.As always, we'd like to thank our friends at the Beijing-based gaming website Laohu.com for sharing the latest news to come out of China with Gamezebo's readers.

By Joe Jasko
Sometimes the biggest explosions onto the mobile gaming scene come in the form of the newcomers. Wormhole Games is a new mobile development studio formed by two ex-employees and visionaries of Funzio, the studio responsible for smash successes like Crime City and Modern War before being sold to GREE last year in a multi-million dollar deal. I recently had a chance to speak with Jamil Moledina, CEO and Creative Director, and James Kelm, COO and Executive Producer at Wormhole Games, to find out about the studio's debut game, Tank Nation, and what it was like to start over from scratch with all of the vigor and innovation of a brand new startup studio.Now working within a small development team of only 12 people, Moledina and Kelm are embracing their new status as a startup company, as they prepare to release their first game into the world today. As they tell me, startup companies like Wormhole Games have an extra advantage being new to the scene: in that they are better able to take calculated risks, and to experiment with new and different ideas that seasoned companies might start to shy away from once a few titles get under their belts."But rather than trying to recreate something that's already been done, or copying the latest game to hit #1 on the App Store, Moledina and Kelm's goal with their first game was to take an already successful concept in gaming, and introduce it into a brand new area of the industry: in this case, the mobile platform. They point out Rovio's Angry Birds as an example of taking a gameplay mechanic like artillery firing and making it so simple that everyone from your grandma to your little nephew can understand it within minutes of playing. To this end, their first game would need to be broadly accessible, while still offering a long-term level of depth to satisfy the hardcore gaming crowd.
