Vivid Apps brings a fun, unique, and exremely challenging JezzBall experience to th iPhone with Eyetorm. I never would have imagined this kind of game having things like a plot or bosses, but Eyestorm manages to pull it off. While visually this game is pretty plane, the challenging gameplay will keep you coming back. The [...]

If you have been to this site before then you know we love to complain and moan about matching puzzle games. However, there are few that sneak through the cracks and impress us. Crayon Ball is one of the few.

I am in love with this game and at the same time I totally hate it. Well, now I have to explain myself, right?
This is a remake of a classic game of Nebulus, that has been around on platforms such as the C64, Amiga, ZX Spectrum, and Gameboy. I have played it in the past, [...]

When I saw this game advertised on the forum, my first reaction was that I really wanted to play it right away. It looked so cool and unique. Now it’s a couple of weeks later, I have played it quite a bit and I still find it cool and unique. Sadly, I also find it [...]

Galaktagon is the most pleasant and broken iPhone shoot ’em up I have yet to indulge in.
The tragic thing about games is that the player is ultimately trying to glean whatever advantage he or she may be able to from the system. If the system is broken it becomes that much easier to exploit the [...]

The game involves you piloting your blimp through great looking hand-painted 2D levels; transporting people from one area to another; carrying out supply runs; and, once your blimp is upgrade, full on attacks on enemy blimps. You control your blimp by tilting left to right for direction, and touching the screen to give yourself a boost vertically. Anyone familiar with games like iCopter will get it right away.

Vivid games will be releasing their new game Shoot to kill in May. The top down shooter looks to be in the same vein as iDracula, where you must eliminate wave after wave of nasties from hell itself. The game can by summed up by it’s official tagline ‘A story of a masked man, who went to hell… Fought bravely… Killed many… Saw pure evil… …and returned for more!’

I’ve always been a big fan of the top-down airplane shooter game, ever since I first played some of the originals at local arcades when I was a kid (the names escape me for some reason). Siberian Strike has been a well known game on the mobile scene for years. It would have been easy for Gameloft to simply port over some of the existing versions. Luckily, they didn’t.

Gamers as of late have been submerged in a deluge of titles starring zombies and it has become difficult to find one that stands out from the proverbial horde. As such, I was pleasantly surprised when Zombie Pub Crawl found its way into my life.
In Zombie Pub Crawl it is your constant duty to protect [...]

This game pays tribute to a very well known game from Taito called Space Invaders. They are both games where chasing high scores is the name of the game. You have a lone space ship at the bottom of the screen and you got to defend versus the aliens attacking in waves from above. At [...]

Space!… the final frontier! Well, not really… particularly in video gaming, where space games flood the market with shoot’em ups, real time strategy, first person shooters and platformers… space it seems, is far from empty!
So amongst all this clutter and, indeed, space junk. It’s good when a title comes a long that can remain fresh [...]

In it you play as Altair, a crusades era assassin on a quest for a Chalice. In the original game you played in a futuristic device called the Animus which recalled the ancestral memories of a 2012 bartender and took place in a sand box style 3D world. This prequel is more along the lines of Prince of Persia in game play and doesn’t really go into this story and assumes you have played the original. Instead, it concentrates on delivering hack n slash and platforming thrills without the story line frills.

Splat is the Geometry Wars clone that could. Despite it’s simple design, Splat wins with it’s intuitive and responsive controls, fun gameplay, and multi-layered online leaderboards. The game plays exactly like Geometry Wars, which is a good thing. Your right thumb aims the weapon (which automatically shoots), while your left thumb moves you around. As you [...]

Bloons has you throwing darts to pop balloons in a phyisics based environment, so you have to judge where to throw to pop the most “bloons.” If this is anything like the original game, it should be fun.

While shmoozing with Jason Citron at the ngmoco party at GDC, I met Noel from the one-men developer, Snappy Touch. This excited gentlemen wasted no time in showing off an impressive game/app that involves growing and tending flowers on your iPhone. Yes, I know that sounds silly, but bare with me here.
