Third Eye Crime: Act 1 Review
By Eli Cymet
A game. There's always a game. On this particular night, rain spattering against the window so hard you'd think the big man upstairs had a score to settle, it wasn't just any old game, however. This one, she was something special; the kind of game that grips you in a thrall, turning minutes into hours. The kind of game you know might be trouble, but which coyly beckons you to follow it into the wee hours of the morning. The kind of game where you know better, but say "yes" anyway. Ahem. All cinematic asides aside, Third Eye Crime is definitely not your run-of-the-mill mobile title. The self-styled "game noir" offers a refreshing take on top-down stealth mechanics, all while bathed in a gorgeous graphic novel aesthetic and accompanied by a smoky jazz soundtrack that will have you, too, concocting monologues in your head. Be warned, though: sometimes you'll be tearing your hair from atop it as well.Smash Hit Walkthrough
By Nadia Oxford
Smash Hit is an arcade shooting game from Mediocre. In this game, you progress through levels by throwing metal balls and smashing everything in sight. Gamezebo's walkthrough will provide you with some tips and hints that will help you get a good start on committing soothing acts of vandalism.Smash Hit Review
By Nadia Oxford
The problem with breaking windows is that you can only do it once. The second your projectile hits the pane with its shattering kiss, you have to cheese it or else risk getting caught by cops, guard dogs, or some guy that keeps his gun handy. There's never enough time to admire your handiwork.Smash Hit by Mediocre is a first-person shooting / throwing game that really lets you absorb the sights, sounds, and sheer pleasure of shattering glass. You can do it over and over - in fact, you must do it over and over if you want to survive - and the sensation never gets old."As soon as you hit "Start," you automatically glide down a series of crystalline hallways. You have but one mission: Wreck everything.Luftrausers Walkthrough
By Steven Strom
Luftrausers is a 2D aerial combat game from Vlambeer. Gamezebo's quick start guide will provide you with some tips and hints to brave the skies and last as long as possible in this punishing arcade experience.Luftrausers Review
By Steven Strom
After several hours with the game, I can't tell you what Luftrausers means. I don't speak German, and the best Google Translate can tell me is that "luft" means "air" and "raus" means "out." I can, however, tell you what it's about.Luftrausers, the latest game from Vlambeer (Ridiculous Fishing, Super Crate Box) is about pushing back against the inevitable. From the moment it introduces you with the message "PRESS UP TO RAUS" you're fighting against gravity, trying to keep your unlikely World War I/II amalgam aircraft out of the water below.Seconds later you're bombarded with all manner of biplane, fighter jet, dirigible and battleship. Suddenly it's about surviving against the overwhelming tide of onscreen projectiles with controls I will generously describe as "loosey goosey."Glorkian Warrior: Trials of Glork Review
By Jim Squires
Like most 30-somethings with a love for video games, I have fond memories of the days when arcades reigned supreme. And when I was a kid playing games at my local pizzeria (it sounds clichéd, but it's true!), I put an embarrassing number of quarters in the ol' Galaga machine.My story, I have to assume, is not unique. If I were to speculate, I'd say that Miles Tilmann (aka Pixeljam) and James Kochalka would have very similar stories to tell. After all, they teamed up to make Glorkian Warrior: Trials of Glork -- a game that loves Galaga just as much as I do.Like Galaga, players of Glorkian Warrior control a character at the bottom of the screen that navigates back and forth to shoot hordes of enemies above. Instead of a spaceship, though, you'll be playing as the titular Glorkian Warrior - a three-eyed alien dweeb with little self-confidence and a heavily weaponized backpack.Only One Review
Before I even knew what was happening, I had a magical sword in my possession and the bad guys were teleporting in to try and kill me. Naturally, I reacted as any magic sword-wielding hero would when facing down a horde of enemies: I paid $1.99 and froze them all with my newly purchased frost spell —but only after I had to put the fight on hold in order to decline rating my experience thus far.Only One is a fun game that is hampered by constant, tacky reminders that you can spend your money in the game to power-up your hero. While it would be silly of me to say that a developer has no right pointing the player in the direction of where the in-app purchases reside, I feel like it's counterproductive to stop the game every time a new pair of items in the store are available to purchase. Point the player in the store's direction the first time it becomes available; anything beyond that and it feels like a nagging merchant following you through the flea market, trying to get you to buy his stuff.Ignoring the bouncing arrows and pop-ups reminding the player to rate their experience, Only One is a relatively fun game. Developed by Ernest Szoka, Only One is a top-down sword fighting game where players battle atop a mystical battleground, high up in the clouds. Enemies teleport in as others are dispatched and they can all be killed with sword attacks or magical abilities that the player unlocks by spending the points they collect from slaying other enemies. Kill an enemy and they drop loot; knock an enemy off the side of the battleground and more points are awarded, but the majority of the loot will follow the doomed opponent off the edge.Eliss Infinity Review
By Joe Jasko
First released back in March 2009, which was literally like the prehistoric ages for the mobile gaming world, Steph Thirion's Eliss has often been considered by many to be the first truly great mobile game. After one playthrough of the newly refined and expanded rerelease, Eliss Infinity, it's hard not to see why. But what's so amazing about the experience is that not only was the original Eliss such an innovative game for 2009, but the challenging mix of arcade and puzzle gameplay has managed to stand the test of time and remain insanely relevant and accessible even today in 2014.For those new to the world of Eliss, the gameplay is deceptively simple: you'll be presented with a number of different colored planets that slowly materialize in the vastness of space. You can touch and drag any planet to move it around the screen, and combining any two like-colored planets will create a new larger one. Conversely, stretching two fingers apart on any one planet will split it up into two smaller ones. As time goes on, several color-coded portals will begin popping up around the screen, and it's your goal to maneuver your different planets in order to fill each one (keeping in mind that the portal and accompanying planet must be the same color and size)."Things start to get tricky early on, as you realize that different colored planets are not allowed to touch. If they do, a green health bar at the top of the screen will quickly start depleting, and if it empties all the way then you'll have to start over. It seems easy to keep the colors separate at first, but once new planets start spawning over already-existing ones of a different color, or when some planets get so big that it becomes hard to maneuver them to the portals without banging into the edges of others, you'll quickly understand the game's immense and rewarding sense of challenge. And that's without even mentioning the various hazards like moving red vortexes which only complicate things even further.
