Imagine, if you will, that Mobigame's successful cube-rolling puzzler EDGE featured a cuboid instead of a cube. Doesn't sound all that mind-blowing, but then again, Brain Cube isn't really aiming to make you sit back in awe. Rather, developer XIMAD wants to provide you with a relaxing way to make the daily commute fly by.
For decades, we've looked to the skies over Roswell, New Mexico, expecting the worst to come plummeting down from the Terrifying Void Of Beyond. Finally that day has come, and first contact has been made by The Marbians, a group of aliens who aren't nearly as scary as 1950s Hollywood would have us expect. Oh, and all they want to do is get back home - and it's up to you to help them.
If you're fan of the puzzle genre, you've probably played a version of this game before. It's typically cars or other vehicles, and goes by names like Parking Lot or Rush Hour or something, but the setup is always the same.

Tomb Slider takes that exact premise, puts a weird story setup to it, and sets you loose on a ton of different levels.
Collapse! Blast is a fresh spin on an old favorite in this new Facebook game from GameHouse. The game has all the familiarity of the original Collapse! but promises new twists to the gameplay as it develops into a social game.
Even the most prevalent of casual gamers would admit a large portion of their success comes down to pure luck. Games like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope have 'random' at their very heart. This doesn't detract from those who have the skill to come out on top, but it does mean said games are finely tuned to accommodate the odd lucky shot that unexpectedly earns the most amateur of players the odd top billing. On the surface, Feed the Duck feels like it should be just as random as its iPhone bedfellows. But, owing to a rather ill-fitting rigid approach, play is far too tight to allow any sense of fortune to flourish.
Revolutionary Concepts, the team that gave us UFO on Tape, has announced its next project for iOS: an arcade puzzle game called Gesundheit! The game tells the story of a little pig with allergies - the runt of the litter - who narrowly escapes capture when monsters invade his village, and finds courage he never knew he had as he sets out to save his friends.
Combining things to create other things has been a blast since JoyBits first introduced us to the idea in last year's Doodle God, but now, three games and countless updates later, can the appeal still really be the same? JoyBits sure hopes so - it's a thought the developer is banking on with their latest release Doodle Farm.
You`ve gotta feel sorry for the Eeeps. All that the adorable little guys want to do is get home. Unfortunately, their journey's been hampered by the encroaching goop, which players have to help them avoid as they journey through the four unique worlds of Goop, a new game due on iOS devices soon.
