King.com's "Saga" line of social games continues to grow, and today the developer is launching yet another on Facebook. Joining the ranks of Bubble Witch Saga and Mahjong Saga is Hoop De Loop Saga, a "ball shooter" that should feel familiar to anyone who has played a game of Zuma before.
You probably think you don't need another match-3 game, and you're probably right. But that doesn't mean they'll stop coming any time soon. And while Jewels of the Amazon shares quite a bit with its predecessors -- from the basic gameplay all the way up to power-ups -- it also adds some fun twists and a great adventure premise. It's far from original, but it's a solid time waster for puzzle fans.
Zombies, eh? Whoever invented them must be rolling in royalties right now. These resilient, ambling monsters have featured in every form of entertainment under the sun, and especially in video games. It's not very often, however, that zombies are coupled with humor.
While most people going through school hated math or had a hard time with it, something about math always clicked with me. I won't say that I'm particularly gifted when it comes to numbers, but they just make sense. There's no theory or interpretation with math; everything is fixed and definitive. 1+1 will always equal 2 just the same as 3 will always be a prime number. It makes me happy to know that there's a single person out there developing a game based on a mathematical concept. It finds you manipulating light in outer space, and it's called Waveform.
Collapse has been around since the early days of web-based games, and its popularity has ensured a fair share of iterations and clones. And Tap Diamond is the latest. While technically sound, the game offers little in the way of originality, boasting features that have all been done before with the only new features requiring virtual currency.
When you mix two good things together, you never quite know how things will turn out. Sometimes you get chocolate peanut butter cups. Other times you get anchovies and ice cream. The oddly-named Puzzlejuice attempts to do something similar with games. It's part Tetris, part SpellTower-style word game, and the result is as stressful as it is addictive.
Fans of The Clockwork Man are no doubt hoping that the team at Total Eclipse are furiously working away at a third installment in the series, but who can say? While we don't really have any confirmation on The Clockwork Man 3, Total Eclipse's next game seems like a pretty clear indication that they're not quite done with the franchise yet: A Clockwork Brain.
Water is just a pretty background decoration in most video games, but in Vessel it becomes a key part of the gameplay. Created by indie developer Strange Loop games in collaboration with indiePub, Vessel features "liquid physics" gameplay, which is a fancy way of saying you'll be using realistically simulated liquids such as water, lava, glowing goo, and more to solve puzzles.
