Last March at the Game Developer’s Conference, Big Fish Games showed an odd little match-three/slots hybrid called Cascade. At that time Cascade was a work in progress with a few remaining rough edges, but even then its potential for transforming …
It's not really surprising that writers should have a secret passion for word games. It's perhaps more unusual that word puzzles enjoy the immense across-the-board popularity that they do. But people like them, and mobile devices are a natural platform for them, so it's a very crowded marketplace. That hasn't deterred developer Funkitron from trying to muscle its way in with the new app Word Bird.
Developer Funkitron has built its name on Slingo and has released a number of successful Slingo titles. Personally, the pure slots-plus-bingo idea never interested me much, but I became a convert once Funkitron began incorporating adventure-style elements into the games. The company's latest release, Slingo Supreme 2 ignores the adventure aspect, however, and returns to the pure Slingo format, doubling down on the number of powerups and minigames. Sadly, this is one of those times where bigger isn't necessarily better.
While Slingo may have been given new life by Zynga on Facebook (see: Zynga Slingo), the download franchise is still going strong, as Slingo Supreme 2 gears up for release later this month.
Solitaire Kingdom Quest is, as you can probably surmise from the title, a medieval themed solitaire card game. The flavor of solitaire in question is Klondike, which is the typical version that we've all seen. The game is the follow-up to the super-popular Solitaire Kingdom, and seems to add in a lot of the stuff we've seen in the Slingo Quest series as well.
With Slingo Quest Amazon, we see a continuation of the storyline set up in Slingo Quest Egypt that now has us traversing the jungles and rivers of the Amazon Rainforest to save the Joker from the evil Devil. This is, of course, achieved by way of the level based slot-machine-meets-Bingo gameplay that Slingo is famous for, all in a complex package that's perfect for those who enjoy game of chance.
Slingo Quest Amazon continues the exciting adventure from the end of Slingo Quest Egypt and sends you up the Amazon River in order to rescue the Joker from the Devil. Keep reading for a sneak peek at Funkitron's upcoming puzzle game.
Solitaire Kingdom Supreme is a Klondike solitaire game that is anything but traditional. Featuring a Build Your Deck system of power up cards, you are practically guaranteed that no two games will be the same.
