    Be Together
    I’m getting to the point where I think the casual puzzle game genre is getting a little saturated. It seems a new game comes out every week that attempts to become the next Angry Birds. That being said, I don’t think that Be Together will dethrone the top games out there but I do think that it is a worthy addition to the genre. It has some lovable characters and visually-appealing artwork that makes for a friendly game environment for players of all ages.

    Sky Gnomes
    Sky Gnomes is an interesting short-term play experience, but those that try it out should be warned: the temptation to spend money on IAP will hit. Progress just feels too slow otherwise.

    Catball Eats It All
    One of those games that's certainly very interesting, but I don't necessarily think it is all that entertaining as a game. The weirdness will wear off at some point, and unlike Katamari Damacy, the core gameplay mechanics don't lead to anything that's fun to play down the line.

    Lyxo
    Bending light is super fun in Lyxo, but trying to bend the controls to your will is decidedly less so. This isn't such a huge deal so long as the current challenge you're facing doesn't have too many arbitrary gimmicks layered on top of it. This is to say that the early stages of Lyxo are compelling thanks to the freedom granted to you, but the further you get into the game, the more time you spend on fighting with it.

    Alien Shooter EX.

    The Bunker
    Despite its issues, I enjoyed my time with The Bunker. Its shortcomings are only noticeable because of how well made the rest of it is. The Bunker's tone and look make you want it to be more complicated from both a narrative and mechanical standpoint, but what it accomplishes on these fronts is at least as good as other games like it. As a result, it's a good adventure game, but one that also compels you to wish it were better.

    City King definitely deserves credit for trying to do things differently. It's just unfortunate that the different stuff needs a lot of refinement. Still, those looking for location-based gaming with more of an emphasis on the actual "game" part could certainly do worse.

    CATS: Crash Arena Turbo Stars
    The core premise of CATS is solid, but the walls that it puts up as part of its free-to-play design can be annoying. This is less true as long as the randomness of unlocks works in your favor, or if you pay, but both of these only offer temporary relief. As a result, it's difficult to get a ton of time or satisfaction out of CATS, despite the fact that it's otherwise a pretty good game.

    Brawlhalla
    As much as I like Brawlhalla, I find it tremendously unsatisfying to play using a touch screen. This limits its appeal significantly, as it's only worth playing if you are ok with routinely whipping out a controller to do so. There are some other quirks to the game itself, for sure, but Brawlhalla is otherwise a surprisingly fun and focused platform fighter that is uncompromised in its mobile form.

    Infinite Warrior
    I really, really like the idea behind Infinite Warrior, but the implementation needs some work. With controls that aren't quite so finicky, text that can actually be read, and a little gamma correction it would actually be really awesome. Until that happens it's doomed to be more frustrating than fun.

    PongWorld
    If someone were to go into a playthrough of Pong World with the intention of spending no money, they could, in theory at least, play forever. Granted, it would be the same level and modes ad nauseam, but free is free. However, those looking for variety and diversity in their games should look elsewhere. At its core, this is pretty much a reconfigured Atari 2600 experience, masquerading as something new.

    This game isn't supposed to pack in a life-time of replay value, and its greatest appeal is likely to be to children.
