It might appeal if you've been looking for something that stands stark against the tendency towards extremes (either retro-pixel-minimal or hyper-polygon-break-your-device-realistic), but IMO looks more like a back-of-the-class doodle than anything else. This homeliness is too bad, because the cleverness of Glitch Games' Ferris Mueller's Day Off is worth dabbling in for those nostalgic for the spirit of the old point-and-click adventure games (Leisure Suite Larry, Freddy Pharkas, Gobliins, etc etc). Recommended anyway, with reservations.

The bad part is that non top notch devices may have a hard time to run it. It's free, so there's no harm in giving it a go, but rehearse your best disappointed face just in case it badly crashes. In the end, it isn't as different from other defense games, but the 3D lookalike and the camera, plus the varied stuff, makes it feel different and fresher, perfect to be enjoyed by defense and dungeon players.

The game isn't really difficult though. Despite the difficulty increases gradually, most of the game is quite easy to beat. It keeps you glued to the screen anyway due to the storyline. However, a more steep difficulty curve would enhance its playability. In addition, lite version is too short. After a few missions you have to upgrade to the Pro version if you want to keep playing. Regardless, a well-designed and addictive game.

Jackbox Games, Inc.'s Word Puttz isn't a groundbreaking word puzzler, but it is quite a well-made one, and will appeal to those already fans of the genre.

I feel slightly guilty for enjoying Circle Stop as much as I do, possibly akin to some folks' fixation on Nutter Butters and the like. No matter. It's a groovy little hipster game of skill, and you know you're gonna love it too.

Those square-heads little guys endows the game with a touch of humor that makes all the difference. Controls are intuitive: a move joystick on the left side and and attack button on the right side. That's it. You can choose to disable auto-aim. However, the rest (looting and changing weapons) is carried out automatically. Although I'm missing both a co-op multiplayer and a story mode, Mountain Sheep's Minigore 2 is a highly recommended beat'em up. You'll have a blast with it.

Noodlecake Studios Inc is the developer of PuzzleBits, an enjoyable and pleasant surprise which lacks originality, but can be pretty entertaining when it becomes more challenging.

The sweet cartoony characters contrast in harmony with the artistically sprawling background landscapes. It doesn't get much better than this, folks. Unlike the large majority of skill-based games, this one actually makes you more relaxed as you play it.

Not so much to say about graphics: you all know Minecraft (aren't you?). Same pixels, same textures and same ghosting effect. Character's controlled with a screenpad that feels quite responsive. However, it would be great to customize button size or even select different control schemes. Apart from that, a highly recommended game for fans of the genre.
