‘Little Red Lie’ iOS Review: Life’s Not Fair

Little Red Lie By: WZO Games Inc. (Will O'Neill) Will O'Neill's Little Red Lie is not an easy game to get through. And I don't mean that the gameplay is challenging. In fact, it has very little gameplay to it and I imagine many would not consider it a game at all, rather more of an interactive novel. But even the interactivity is minimal. No, what I mean is that the subject…

‘Technobabylon’ iOS Review: Plug in Your Wetware and Get Pulled into a Trance

Technobabylon By: Wadjet Eye Games & Technocrat As much as I like point-and-click adventures, I can be a bit particular with my tastes. Getting stuck too often for too long can turn me off from a game I'm otherwise enjoying, especially if the answers seem illogical or the puzzles require too much guesswork to solve. Layout usually plays a part in this, as well. Is the game user-friendly as far as making…

‘follow.trail’ Review: Forge Your Own Path in This Unique Puzzler

follow.trail By: Grzegorz Pykacz Over the last few years, puzzle games have become one of my favorite genres to play on my iPhone. There's no shortage of truly wonderful puzzlers on iOS, and they're usually a great fit for the platform. But with so many releasing every day, it's easy to become skeptical whether any individual game will offer anything truly new or unique and feel worthy of my time. How many…

‘Swim Out’ Review: These Are Dangerous Waters

Swim Out By: Lozange Lab My first few days with Lozange Lab's Swim Out involved a lot of rage quitting. I've come to expect certain things from puzzle games, and one of those is an undo button. It's not always necessary, but when a level can include thirty to forty moves, I'm not too thrilled when I'm forced to constantly restart. Still, there was something so compelling about Swim Out and I…

‘Linelight’ iOS Review: This Engrossing Puzzler Deserves the Limelight

Linelight By: BT Productions (My Dog Zorro) I heard about Brett Taylor's (aka My Dog Zorro) minimalistic puzzler, Linelight, briefly when it arrived on PC earlier this year. It looked interesting, but since I don't have much patience for playing on my PC, I forgot all about it. I didn't even know that the developer was porting it over to mobile until I saw it available in the App Store this week.…

The Franz Kafka Videogame: iOS Review

The Franz Kafka Videogame By: Daedalic Entertainment GmbH I'd been looking forward to mif2000's The Franz Kafka Videogame (TFKVG) for a while now, ever since it was announced it would be coming to mobile. Granted, I didn't know much about it outside of screenshots I'd seen. But I loved the look of it, and I like weird and quirky games, especially adventure games. While I don't know that much about Franz Kafka's…

‘Sidewords’ Review: Not Your Average Word Game

Sidewords By: Milkbag Games Every once in a while, I look at the App Store and notice another mediocre word game near the top of the charts. I've given these games a chance, in case I was missing out on something. I like a good word game, as I still play Zach Gage's Typeshift daily. But these free games that get tons of downloads are all overly simplified and probably auto-generated, since…
