Alt-Frequencies By: Plug In Digital / Accidental Queens Alt-Frequencies is a really interesting game by Accidental Queens, the makers of A Normal Lost Phone. You need to listen to radio stations on time loops and copy messages to then send to another radio station. A big part of it is listening closely to figure out what each radio station is offering or looking for. It can be tricky at times, so this…
Luna Strange By: Fantastic, yes Luna Strange is a new episodic room escape game from Fantastic, yes, the makers of Returner 77 and Returner Zhero. Right now, only one episode is available, but since there are no hints in the game, it can be difficult at times to figure out what to do next. So this walkthrough guide should help you if you get stuck. Feel free to ask for extra help…
Magnibox By: Joseph Gribbin One type of game that there's no shortage of on iOS is Sokoban, especially PC ports. The block-pushing genre lends itself well to the platform, as it usually doesn't require fast reflexes, and the controls are mostly directional swipes. Some recent highlights for me were Pipe Push Paradise and Persephone, both games I highly recommend playing if you haven't done so yet. As a big puzzle fan, I'm…
Magnibox By: Joseph Gribbin Magnibox is a relaxing but tricky puzzler by Joseph Gribbin, in which you play a little box that's also a magnet. Your magnetic abilities allow you to pull yourself to some boxes, repel yourself from others, and all sorts of other fun stuff. There are also non-magnetic environmental elements to deal with. The game is broken up into eight colorful worlds, with each one adding new mechanics to…
Jumpgrid By: Ian MacLarty You know that knife game you sometimes see in movies and TV shows, where some big shot tough guy quickly stabs the space between his fingers, trying to avoid mutilating himself? I wouldn't actually attempt that myself, but I feel more capable of doing so after spending hours with Ian MacLarty's Jumpgrid on iOS. It requires that same kind of finesse and precision -- which I don't usually…
Hi everyone, and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I've been playing over the last seven days. I spent most of the last week playing the same few games, and I've reviewed some of them already, so this won't be a very long post. Still, if you want a recap of all the games I covered or want to see which gameplay videos you missed, then…
Ordia By: Loju LTD Causality was one of my favorite games of 2017 and remains one of my favorite puzzlers. It has clever time-traveling mechanics, is extremely user-friendly with its ability to rewind your mistakes, and it's all tied up in a nice, neat package with pleasant visuals. So of course I was excited to hear that developer Loju was working on another game. Ordia released last week and isn't quite as…
Astrologaster By: Nyamyam If someone asked what my astrological sign is and then tried to tell me what it means and how our two signs relate to each other, I might go along with it, but would be internally screaming and looking for a way to change the subject. So you might say I'm the target audience for the narrative choice-based game, Astrologaster, by Tengami developer Nyamyam. It pokes fun at the…
