Dark Fear By: A Majothi (Arif Games) I'm not the biggest fan of pixel art, and I almost ignored Arif Games' Dark Fear because of its art. That would have been a huge mistake, as there's a really solid, enjoyable game here. I think in this case the pixel art works really well to capture that old school, retro feeling, as well as some uneasiness invoked by the dreadful atmosphere of the…
Please, Don't Touch Anything By: Bulkypix Bulkypix's Please, Don't Touch Anything (PDTA) was first available on PC, but I hadn't heard of it until I saw the trailer for the upcoming iOS version. The game looked quirky and weird and right up my alley, so I was excited to play when it finally arrived on iOS. PDTA starts with you in front of a pixelated Game Boy-like screen with a console beneath…
Stay, Mum By: Lucid Labs **Note: There has been some development with the drama surrounding this game and I would highly suggest you look into it a bit before giving this developer any of your money. You can read about some of it here. I may write more about it, but I thought my readers should know before they make a decision. The developer pretended to be a beta tester for his…
Go To Gold 2 - Chinese Puzzle By: Timur Nigmetzianov I didn't call this a review, because it's not so much a review as a love letter to the developer. I haven't even gotten that far into the game yet. I just feel the need to shout from the rooftops how much I love what Timur Nigmetzianov does with his games. He respects his players, and that's rare in an App Store…
The Beautiful Dream By: NetEase Games Recently, I wrote a short review and walkthrough for the gorgeous iOS game, Lunar Flowers, by NetEase Games. The game was short, but the artwork was gorgeous and the puzzles were well-designed. I couldn't understand why it was completely free. Well, yesterday NetEase released another stunning game, called The Beautiful Dream. I paid $0.99 for it, but it appears to have gone free since. I'm not…
Device 6 By: Simogo Yeah, I know I'm incredibly late with this. But I finally played Device 6 and can't get over how great it is. I added it to my top 25 games list, so I thought I should write a review to explain my decision. I have a lot to say about it that would spoil things, so I'm going to try to keep it spoiler-free at first, then delve…
SPL-T By: Simogo I'm going to try something different here, because I'm not sure how else to write about Simogo's latest game, SPL-T. I wasn't even planning to write about it originally. Until a couple of days ago, I was fed up with it and actually considered requesting a refund. But now it's consumed my life to the point that it's the only game on my iPhone's home page. So I think…
Magic Flute by Mozart By: Lab Like Lab Like's Magic Flute by Mozart is a puzzle game I'd been looking forward to for quite some time now, and all of a sudden it was announced just last week. I got an advanced copy, so I was able to spend the week with it and really sink my teeth in. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the narrator. I love listening…
