Touch Arcade

Rocketcat is known for great games and amazing app support so I feel confident that this update is not the last nor the biggest nor the brightest we will be seeing to add onto this already fantastic game. The only warning I would leave you with is this: you are going to have to bring your 'A' game if you want to beat this one, but it's most definitely worth the effort!

The developers at Yak & co have also told me that there will be free updates to come, with more missions to the current game in the works. Just make sure you come in to the launch version knowing that the resolution will not be entirely satisfying.

It's a solid foundation, and the infinite mode will ensure that you've got something to come back to for a while, especially if you want to unlock all of the scientists. I would have loved to have seen more zombie types, and maybe more to do with the zombucks earned by playing through the story mode. I definitely would have liked to have seen more stages. It's just a little too insubstantial on the whole for me to give it a really strong recommendation.

While Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons doesn't exactly hit the lofty mark it appears to be shooting for, it's still quite an impressive effort, and it certainly has a wow factor to it that will have you grinning throughout your first playthrough.

If you're into the genre, Leave Me Alone is a great way to relive the glory days on your mobile device. Sure it's not as polished as a lot of other titles, but the gameplay is there, and the power to quickly skate around and fight at will is a neat conceit.

Please, Don't Touch Anything is an entertaining experience, many certainly rewarding if you enjoy solving cryptic puzzles, which this game provides in spades! It's perhaps limited as it's focused toward amusement and tallying up the endings versus telling some kind of grand, cryptic story with it. But if goofy animations for solving cryptic puzzles sounds like fun to you, download this. You'll have a good time.

It can be slow-going at times near the end of the progression loop, but Dash Quest is relatively fair with doling out carrots with very little sticks involved. While it's not nearly as addicting as other releases, I was encouraged to play a fair amount of it before I started to move on to something else.

Heck, you don't have to pay anything if you don't want to, as the damn thing is free if you just want to try it out first. And you should, because it really is Guitar Hero on iOS, and that's pretty awesome.

Really, Astra stands out among other orbital platformers for its unique art and great feel. But it is a trying game, and one that caused me to quit constantly and go play something else, to the point that it was difficult to proceed. But that made the successes more rewarding, and it's long way to the top, that's for sure.

There isn't a whole lot I could say about Lunar Flowers that I haven't said already. Most of the people out there know that they're part of the target audience, and the rest, know to avoid it. But for those of you who are looking for something a little different without the pretentiousness and baggage that a few similar experiences bring, Lunar is a great app to pickup for a rainy day.
