Donut County By: Annapurna Interactive (Ben Esposito) I didn't really know what to expect from Donut County when I first heard it announced, but being published by Annapurna Interactive was already a good sign for me. They've published such games as the masterpiece, Gorogoa, the iOS port of Flower, and short but sweet Florence. I knew anything from them would at the very least be unique. Combine that with the odd premise…
Powerless By: Narratio My first experience with the narrative choose-your-own-adventure type game, Powerless, by Narratio, was a positive one. After spending about thirty minutes with it, I wrote here how impressed I was with it, that it seemed very polished. I didn't encounter many spelling or grammar mistakes, the writing was strong, and the stories were interesting to me. I liked how you choose different characters -- or personas -- and then…

Evergarden By: Flippfly, LLC Flippfly, the makers of the heart-pumping reflex-based flyer, Race the Sun, are back with a new game where they're trying their hands at a more relaxed genre -- puzzles. Their latest endeavor, Evergarden, is an endless merging game that's mostly about the high score, but also about the journey there. Merging games aren't anything new to the App Store, but they usually come in the form of free…
Evergarden By: Flippfly, LLC Flippfly's Evergarden is a relaxing endless merging puzzler. What sets it apart from others like it is the gorgeous graphics and soundtrack, unique mechanics, and lack of in-app purchases. The game doesn't tell you much, though, so you're left to figuring things out on your own. If you would rather have some help, though, you can use this walkthrough guide. I'll be adding to it as I discover…
Stranger Cases By: Snapbreak Games Stranger Cases: A Mystery Escape is the latest adventure game from Snapbreak Games. Like their other releases, you can play the first few levels for free before deciding whether to purchase the rest. The game starts off pretty easy and includes a tutorial, but this walkthrough should help you with the rest. It's a work in progress, so please bear with me. Feel free to ask for…
Barbearian By: Kimmo Lahtinen (GIMBLLL) I've had GIMBLLL's massive hack-n-slack, Barbearian, for a couple of weeks now and have been loving it, even though my thumb hurts from the frantic and hectic gameplay.

I haven't made the game easier for myself, but do appreciate those options being…
