Rogue Hearts By: NINETAIL Co., Ltd These days, I tend to avoid games that have micro transactions for in-game currency or items, especially consumables. So I almost didn't buy NINETAILS' turn-based RPG, Rogue Hearts when I saw that you can buy gems with real cash. But I really liked the screenshots and description of the game, so I finally caved, figuring $0.99 isn't much to gamble on it. It turns out, I…
Art Club Challenge By: Polytundra LLC As someone who minored in art in college, the idea of a game that tries to mimic an art class appealed to me. I like the concept, and it's interesting how Polytundra's Art Club Challenge forces you to use a very limited palette of four colors and only squares and rectangles to make your art. Unfortuantely, the execution isn't quite as strong as the idea. It…
Evoland 2 By: Playdigious I'm still playing through Playdigious and Shiro Games', Evoland 2: A slight case of spacetime continuum disorder on iOS, but I wanted to share some gameplay video for those who are considering picking it up. I never finished the original game because of an annoying dungeon where I kept dying and there were no save spots anywhere in it. But I wanted to still give the sequel a…
PAPER Anne By: UsFun Games This was going to be a complete walkthrough guide for the iOS and Android puzzle game, PAPER Anne, by UsFun Games. But on the third level, I encountered the same game-breaking bug multiple times, and I don't think I'm going to get far with it unless it's fixed up. It's super buggy, so I don't recommend it at the moment. You can see what I mean in…
Dissembler By: Ian MacLarty At first glance, Dissembler might not look like much. It's certainly not as shiny as most match-three games on the App Store. It's made up entirely of simple, minimalistic squares and would probably be easy to overlook. It's also the first puzzler from Ian MacLarty, who's known for fast-paced arcade games like Boson X and Jelly Juggle. So when I got an email about it, I was a…

Purrfect Date By: Bossa Studios Ltd I have mixed feelings about Bossa Studios' cat dating simulator, Purrfect Date. I was excited about it ever since I saw the announcement trailer, with its catchy tune and ridiculous premise. I also knew it was meant to come to iOS, so I had something to look forward to. Since it's mostly reading, it's a great a fit for an iPad that you can rest in…
