Twisted Lines Γò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£Γöñ Mind-twisting Puzzles By: Megagon Industries As many of you might know, I was a bit obsessed with Snakebird recently. I loved its hardcore puzzles that combined trial-and-error with strategy. I didn't know that much about Twisted Lines when I decided to buy it, but I was curious enough to check it out. While it does hold your hand a bit more than Snakebird does, it has quite a few…
KOMRAD By: Sentient Play LLC After playing and thoroughly enjoying Telltale Games' and Nightschool Studio's Mr. Robot text-based TV show tie-in game, I was excited about another interactive fiction game, KOMRAD, by Sentient Play. I don't play too many of these real-time games as I tend to forget about them or lose interest when I'm forced to wait hours for something to happen. I usually move on to other games that let…
Snakebird By: Noumenon Games I started playing Noumenon's fantastic puzzler, Snakebird, the second it hit iOS, but there's still a few levels I haven't solved yet. I'm fine with this, because it means I still have some Snakebird to play. Whenever I have some free time and a clear head, I can just mess around with these elongated birds and try to solve one more puzzle. I won't ask for help --…
Samorost 3 By: Amanita Design I confess, it took me a little while to warm up to Amanita Design's Samorost 3. It's by far one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played, but for the first half hour or so I was frustrated due to poor signage. The game made me think something was part of a puzzle when it was just a toy. I spent 20 minutes on the first…
Gemini - A Journey of Two Stars By: Echostone Games LLC In Echostone Games' magical new iOS game Gemini, you control a star on a journey with another star to "light up the sky." It's a story told without words, and yet it's surprisingly powerful. The two stars must work together, because separately they can't soar. I'm not sure how others will interpret it, but to me it's about the importance of…

Deus Ex GO By: SQUARE ENIX INC Deus Ex GO is Square Enix Montreal's third installment in their GO series, which reimagines console games as mobile turn-based puzzlers. I reviewed Lara Croft GO (LCG) back when it came out and I loved everything about it. I only really had two issues with it -- the lack of an undo button and the long loading times when restarting a level. The developers did…
Guild of Dungeoneering By: Gambrinous The fact that I finished Gambrinous' Guild of Dungeoneering despite many distractions -- believe it or not -- says a lot about the game. In today's oversaturated App Store, it's not uncommon for me to start a game and then forget about it the second another one comes along. Every week there are so many games fighting for my attention. Many games that would have easily grabbed…
