Touch Arcade

So, despite its imperfections, if you enjoy deckbuilding games that are easy to play at a basic level but have a pretty limitless skill ceiling and games that offer plenty of ways to play them both in single or multiplayer, get Puzzle Strike.

Circa Infinity is a game that may not look like much in the screenshots, but if you like twitch-y arcade games and outside-the-box platformers I can basically guarantee you’ll fall in love with this.

But honestly? All I can say is that your reaction to Twofold Inc. is going to depend on you and your tastes. If this sounds like it's up your alley, I think you should buy it. If it doesn't excite you, then I'd pass. Maybe that's not useful advice, but I put the time in, and I see the quality, but I don't think I'll be coming back.

If you're an old school gamer at heart, you really can't go wrong with Captain Cowboy. The developers have done a great job of preserving the retro experience, complete with a lack of intrusive IAP and an awesome visual style and score. You'll have lots of fun getting lost, which isn't something you can say very often.

If it had tightened its gameplay focus more on the censorship side of things and made the outcome of my decisions harder to predict, The Westport Independent would've been a must play for anyone who enjoys games with a political tinge. As it stands, it will still offer you an interesting gaming experience but one that will feel slightly on the short and unremarkable side.

With its sharp and colorful visuals and classic gameplay sensibilities, Super Phantom Cat is a pretty perfect hybrid of the new and old. That doesn’t mean the game itself is perfect, though, as there were moments when I wished the developers had been as creative with the platforming genre as they’d been with the art.

In general, the game is dazzling enough that I would recommend taking the ride, even if things sometimes get a little bumpy on the way.

Momoka is clever and fun, transcending whatever rough spots it has. If you enjoy platformers and the Metroidvania subgenre in particular, you owe it to yourself to check this game out.

Sky Chasers isn’t the greatest cave flyer that’s ever flown through a cave, but it’s still a very good one. If you liked Cavernaut or Retry (and who didn’t?), then I think it’s safe that you’ll find lots of enjoyment here. It’s not without a few problems here and there, but the charming visuals, simple controls, plethora of crafts to unlock, and free price tag make this one easily worth checking out.

In some ways Shattered Lands feels less like a sequel and more like a fulfillment of the promise behind the first game, like this is what Red Winter wanted to make all along.
