    Monster Dash Preview

    Fans of Canabalt know what it means to run, but they don't necessarily know why they do it. Maybe it's the alien invasion in the background. Maybe it's the crumbling buildings all around them. Or maybe, just maybe, it's m-m-m-monsters!!! Nah - if it was monsters, they'd need a shotgun to survive that mess. Thankfully, Monster Dash is ready to put one in your hands.

    Jungle Bug: Rock & Roll Review

    By

    The overwhelming popularity of survival games on the iPhone in recent months has touched on about every formula we can imagine. It should come as no surprise, then, that Jungle Bug: Rock'n'Roll isn't a title rooted in originality as much as it is in mimicry of other titles. This sort of copycat mentality is usually viewed as a negative when it comes to the App Store, but every now and then a copycat comes along and offers up a better experience than the original. Jungle Bug: Rock'n'Roll is one of those rare titles.

    Ninjatown: Trees of Doom Review

    By

    The survival genre has provided iPhone gamers with great fun over the past few years. Whether we're talking about early releases like Doodle Jump or Canabalt or recent successes like Superfall and Above, traversing great distances until you just can't go any further has become a staple experience on the iPhone. But while all of these games are precious, they're also incredibly simple. Success is dependent less on skill and more on luck. Come across the wrong obstacle or miss the right platform and its game over. But what if the survival genre could be something more? What if it could be built on challenging gameplay instead of luck and repetition?

    Jimmy Pataya Review

    By

    Jimmy Pataya digs jumping out of airplanes without a parachute or a plan. It's that kind of fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants thinking that got him into the mess known as the "Grinder," which is a pretty accurate name for the gauntlet he's about to run. Now it's up to you to and guide Jimmy through the blades as he falls to Earth. Spoiler warning: he'll never make it to the ground; he'll just fall forever. Which I guess is just as well since he's got no parachute. Jimmy, you gotta start thinking before you leap!

    Above Review

    By

    Have you ever found yourself in a rush? The character in Above sure has. Shirt untucked, briefcase trailing behind him, he looks as though he couldn't be in more of a hurry to get where he's going. It's a shame he'll never get there though, because Above is a game about going up... forever.

    In 2008 Venan Entertainment and designer toy studio Shawnimals joined forces to create the critically-acclaimed tower defense game Ninjatown for the Nintendo DS. Now the pair are joining forces once again to revisit their popular town full of ninjas. Much to our surprise, however, Ninjatown: Trees of Doom ditches the successful tower defense formula of its predecessor and opts instead for an arcade-style survival experience.

    Superfall Review

    Take the height challenge of Doodle Jump, turn it upside down, and add in the ragdoll physics of games like Stair Dismount and you have Superfall - a survival game that sees just how far you can fall before things come apart.
