When it comes to fun ways to spend an evening, breaking and entering probably doesn't sit too high on your list. After playing Beat Sneak Bandit, though, you may want reconsider this. The game proves that burglary — combined with a little rhythm and a lot of style — is easily one of the most entertaining activities you could possibly be involved with.
Traditional chess is a bit of a dry game, at least until you take it upon yourself to start flinging knights and rooks at your opponent to watch them run. If you're looking for a twist on the old chess formula that won't result in bodily harm, however, you might be interested in The Lost Shapes by dreamfab and RockAByte.
Searching for lost treasure is an exciting experience. Throw romance and a love triangle into the mix and it becomes even more so. That's the case in the Jewel Quest: Mysteries: The Oracle of Ur, as this upcoming installment in the classic match-three (and now hidden object) franchise will allow you to travel back in time to find the best jewel board of (literally) all time: the Oracle of Ur.
After having turned off my phone in disgust for the umpteenth time, I come into this review as a beaten and defeated man. BlockHopper, a game from Green Pixel, is frickin' hard. Perhaps it is simply my ego talking, but after numerous attempts, I still cannot get past the seventh level of the game—and I contribute more to the controls rather than a lack of skill on my part. As such, unless you're a glutton for punishment, you should probably steer clear.
When crafting a memorable game you need three elements; a unique experience, solid gameplay mechanics, and genuine soul. Think back to the games you still care about years after you play them, and you'll see they had all those traits in abundance. Amp, Watts & Circuit doesn't bring any of that to the table, and the result is an utterly forgettable experience.
FreshGames' Cubis series has been winning over puzzle gamers for years, but it hasn't hit the App Store until now. Enter Cubis Creatures, the first game in the series to come to iOS devices. And it looks like it'll be so fun that the wait was worth it.
Have you ever seen something and thought "I have absolutely no idea what that is, but I desperately want to be a part of it"? That's exactly how I felt after watching the trailer for Incoboto, the upcoming iOS game from developer Fluttermind, and I'm sure you will too.
I never expected to like Spongebob Squarepants iOS games as much as I do. I was too old to get into his cartoons when they first aired and — honestly — I found the character pretty annoying. But back in 2010, I got to play Spongebob Marbles & Slides and, well, I was taken aback by how enjoyable it was. Now, Spongebob's Super Bouncy Fun Time has come along, and I'll be darned if the game isn't even more addictive and fun.
