Bring You Home By: Alike Studio I never reviewed Alike Studio's cute and colorful point-and-click adventure, Love You to Bits (LYtB) and, while I did enjoy my time with it, there were some issues that kept me from being as enthralled with it as others were. In it, you played as Kosmo, who's in love with a robot named Nova that gets blown to bits. You then search the galaxy for her…
The Office Quest By: Deemedya INC I wasnΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t planning to write a full review for Deemedya's The Office Quest, but IΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗ve been raging so much about it on Twitter that I figured I should compile my thoughts into a review for those who donΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t follow me on there. It's been quite a rollercoaster ride, as the game has the makings of what could be a true classic, but deceptive pricing and some…
The Room: Old Sins By: Fireproof Games If you're a puzzle or adventure game fan who owns an iOS device, you'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard of Fireproof's The Room series, and chances are you've played at least one of their games by now. They consist of realistic puzzle boxes that you unlock and pull apart with your finger by turning keys, sliding sliders, pressing buttons,…
Four Last Things By: Joe Richardson If you ever thought, "why isn't there a point-and-click adventure built out of old Renaissance paintings," you might be happy to learn that there is indeed a point-and-click adventure built out of old Renaissance paintings. Joe Richardson's aptly named Four Last Things has been out on PC since last year, but mostly went ignored by me because I hate those dirty, disgusting things. So I was…
Meteorfall: Journey By: Eric Farraro (Slothwerks) I spent so much time playing Asmodee Digital's solitaire card game, Onirim, in 2017, and it made me eager to seek out other games that are accessible and easy to play at any moment, but that require some tough choices weighing risk versus reward. Slothwerks' Meteorfall: Journey is the latest of these games and it combines the binary decision-making of Reigns with dungeon crawling. In Meteorfall,…
Six Match By: Aaron Steed I'm always on the lookout for a new microtransaction-free match-three game to play when I have some down time, and my latest obsession is Aaron Steed's Six Match. While you might think the genre is overdone and there's nothing new to be seen, Six Match adds enough of a twist to make it feel fresh. It's a relaxed, endless, turn-based game in which you always have six…
2017 is on its way out and what a year it's been! The world's kind of falling apart, but luckily this has probably been the best year for premium iOS gaming ever, so I was distracted during most of the apocalypse. Oddly enough, some of my favorite games were dark and apocalyptic themselves. But they still served as good diversions as sane society crumbled around me. Earlier in the year, I was…
The Witness By: Thekla, inc. (Jonathan Blow) I had a bit of a rocky start with Jonathan Blow's The Witness when it finally made its way over to iOS this year. I grabbed it right away because I had heard such good things about it and was eager to try it for myself. At first, I was a little disappointed. It seemed to be just 2D line-drawing maze puzzles in a 3D…
