LEGO-EY goodness and a story to die for.

Combining many popular genres pays off for this original and fast-paced game.

The game has just enough Adventure Time references, particularly with Fionna and Finn’s weapons, and cameo appearances from enemies like the butterfly with a laser gun from “The Other Tarts.” There’s even a tease for a “Finn Fights” mode, which may be welcome if only because Fionna’s grunts and yelps get a bit repetitive and grating. Otherwise, her game stands at the top of the class of Adventure Time games for iOS.

AIR Defense is a visually unique twist on a couple of familiar iOS genres. While the game is sometimes rough around the edges, there's some compelling elements here for those who enjoy defense games.

Slitherine and Hunted Cow have created a challenging, yet humorous strategic warfare game, where good vs. evil fight for control of the land.

The Simple Game isn't for serious gamers or anyone wanting something that will impress their friends, but it's a nice relaxing game to play between commercial breaks or in line at the grocery store. It does exactly what it states in the App Store description which is to provide gamers with a really addictive, really simple game.

Rushing is the name of the game here, but there's still plenty of time to enjoy this action RPG.

Mix Pokemon and Hearthstone, and Card King: Dragon Wars is what you get.

Magnetic Baby is a fun, cute platformer. Admittedly, it lacks originality – borrowing heavily from Super Mario Galaxy, primarily. But despite this truth, it's still an entertaining and challenging platformer. And for 99 cents, it's definitely worth a go.

It's weird, wacky, fun, and glorious. It might even win over a few genre detractors.

While those who fell squarely on the side of Vlambeer in the Ninja Fishing/Radical Fishing debacle will likely be disgusted by Muffin Knight, there's still an original art theme, engrossing RPG elements, and the fun multiplayer as well.

Slay the Spire is such a good game that even a poor port can't put me off of it.

Players will not only be dealing with hidden objects that morph into other objects, but also puzzles and mini games that help solve the mystery.

Not enough can be said about the visuals of Gravity Lab! as they are pretty astonishing.

Gameplay-wise touch controls continue to fit this genre like a glove.

The title is heavily inspired by Blizzard's World of Warcraft, but its portability adds a dose of novel freshness to a familiar outing.

While the game is relaxing, it isn't something I'm likely to play again. There's no obvious flaw with Zen Bound 2, but there's something that turns me off from a game that's in between something passive (like Crosswords or Scrabble) and something active (like Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja).

EnigmOn 2 is a difficult puzzler that's not for those who get frustrated easily. The design isn't much to write home about and is minimalistic at best, but the complex riddles and integration of the iPhone's features makes it a unique and challenging game that's sure to keep players occupied for many hours.

Despite not having controller support, Leap of Fate still manages to be an entertaining title. If you like your roguelikes a little more fast-paced and cyberpunk, this is the game for you.

Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is a beautiful gamebook experience, but is let down by repetitive combat and a spiritless story.

Overall, Rebounce is a real treat and far from your typical puzzle game. It sets a fast pace and will easily devour a few hours of your life at a single sitting, if you let it.
