Touch Arcade

With a fair monetization scheme, gameplay that's hard to put down, and a fun retro aesthetic, Hammer Bomb is something I'm going to be playing for quite a while. I didn't expect it to be that deep going in, but as we all know looks can be deceiving.

It's fast, fun, and the touch controls are a dream. I wish it had a bit more variety in terms of its level themes, but the whimsical visuals will push you through even if you start to see things blend together during marathon sessions.

This is a game I find myself returning to daily, and I'm constantly amazed at how great the writing is, how imaginative the world is, and the size of the whole thing; you can, and probably will, get lost in the labyrinth that is Fallen London. However, the feeling of encountering twist after twist, turn after turn, always wandering and wondering, is unmatched in storytelling games on the App Store. So by all means, go wander; I think you'll enjoy it.

Yo-Kai Watch Wibble Wobble may have a few quirks but dedicated puzzle gamers, especially those who have some interest in the overall franchise, owe it to themselves to give it a shot.

If you have any soft spot in your heart for wacky racing around household locations, you need to check this game out.

If the idea of solving concepts by sliding things into place excites you, you'll probably enjoy Zenge and the whimsical presentation it drags along with it. Otherwise, stay away from this relatively low key zen-like experience.

I'm definitely saving it for a rainy day in the future, and the occasional unlock is a decent way to keep me interested. I'd like to see a fully fleshed adventure one day though with the same engine, as this concept can be so much more.

I feel like Warbits could have taken some risks, tried to do some things that were more than just trying to ape Advance Wars.

The Battle of Polytopia does one thing, and it does it well. There’s really no secret Easter eggs to discover, no advanced strategies or mathematical equations that you’ll have to decipher that you won’t find out for yourself after a few hours of play. It’s a great city building game that’s free of the shackles of “freemium,” and every strategy fan owes it to themselves to give it a shot at some point.

If you think you've got what it takes to grapple with what is, for all intents and purposes, a classic arcade design, you'll probably like Pang Adventures a lot. If you're already a Pang fan, you can grab Pang Adventures without a second thought. It's completely worthy of its legacy.
