Touch Arcade

Crypt of the NecroDancer is one of this generation's finest games, and the mobile version only makes that even clearer. This game can provide you countless hours of enjoyment, with great music and a gameplay concept that remains clever and unique. I give this game my highest recommendation.

The spin mechanic is really a fantastic addition to the game in both little and big ways. But otherwise, this game is just a refinement and iteration on a formula that works well, and bringing it back to the forefront after 3 years is more than welcome. I remember the great times I had with all of the games in the Stickman Golf series, and Super Stickman Golf 3 has hooked me just as all the previous games once did. This game is a true mobile gaming classic and is a must-download.

It's not as slick as its inspiration, and its more complex rules will likely turn some off, but it's certainly worth giving the game a shot to see how you take to it.

It's worth a shot if you're a fan of Square's classic RPG series, but in trying to stretch out to two different camps, I fear it may not entirely please either.

You could spend literal hundreds of hours playing through all of the content it has to offer. This is a flawless version of an incredible game, and my animal-faced hat is off to the people at Capcom for putting this together.

If you're just looking for something that plays Lonely Rolling Star while you hammer away at the screen, trying to reach increasingly distant basketballs and cows, you might be satisfied with this game for a few minutes here and there. I just can't help but think this could have been far more interesting or fun than it is, even within the limits of the tapping genre as we know it.

There are a few things Frantic Shooter could do differently, most notably a world map, the addition of a light campaign, and unlockables that don't involve watching ads, but you get a lot of mileage out of the free download as-is, and the developers nailed the aiming feature. It's not the most hardcore shooter in the world but I'll easily be playing it down the road.

Teeny Titans could have been a nasty and probably quite effective free-to-play money-cruncher, but I'm quite happy it took the road less-traveled. In spite of the balance issues and the fact that the darned thing ends, Teeny Titans is still one of my very favorite games of 2016.

As long as you're okay with a well-paced adventure that doesn't let up from start to finish, you won't be disappointed with Hyperburner. It might not deliver as much extra junk as you're used to for a premium game, but it's engaging from minute one.

Rodeo Stampede is essential for anyone looking for a casual experience that is hard to master and even harder to put down.
