Twinfold By: Kenny Sun I'm a big fan of swipe-based roguelikes and high-score chasers that feel perfectly designed to play on an iPhone. It's amazing how innovative mobile developers can get using swipes as the primary input from a player. I don't know if Threes! was the first game to have the whole board shift with each swipe, all pieces moving in the same direction. But since then, many developers have incorporated…
Twinfold By: Kenny Sun Twinfold is the latest game by Kenny Sun, and it's inspired by the likes of Threes! and Imbroglio. It's a high-score chaser, where you swipe to move your piece and all other pieces on the board at once. The idea is to merge number pieces so they combine into one bigger number, then eat the numbers to earn experience. It's not an easy game, and there's a lot…
Kingdom Rush Vengeance By: Ironhide S.A. Sometimes it's fun to play the villain. That's the idea behind Kingdom Rush Vengeance, the latest tower defense (TD) game from Ironhide. This time, you're controlling an army of monsters instead of goody-two-shoes heroes. It's not the first time a series has done this.

Kingdom Rush Vengeance By: Ironhide S.A. See my review here. Kingdom Rush Vengeance is the latest game in the tower defense franchise, and this time you play as the bad guys.

Valleys Between By: Little Lost Fox Without knowing anything at all about the gameplay, I'd been looking forward to Little Lost Fox's Valleys Between for quite some time. I mean, grab a peek at any of their screenshots and it's not hard to see why. The art style and coloring are reminiscent of Alto's Odyssey, though it's an endless grid-based puzzler instead of a runner. My first few games with it were…
The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands By: Xigma Games After investing several hours into Xigma Games' The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands, I realized there were things I wish I had known from the beginning so I wouldn't have wasted so much time just waiting for things to happen. So I decided to put a guide together for those looking for help. It goes without saying that this will spoil things, so if you'd rather discover…
