It was enough of a throwback to remind me why I liked old school games, but forward-thinking enough to make up for those old games' shortcomings.

Knockball is good, physics puzzling fun. There are tons of levels and many different configurations to stump players, and the physics are spot on. The fast thinking and soft touch required also mean this game has more to offer than just mindless ball rolling.

While Puncho Fighto isn't all that complex or deep, it's entertaining. It's got a goofy style and it's just crazy enough to be fun. And it's just fun enough to soak up a few minutes here and possibly an hour or two there.

The kind of game that's easy to drop in on for short bursts on a daily commute. Even the music is calming, invoking a soothing sense of relaxation as you progress. It'll be no good for adrenaline addicts but calm, lateral thinking fans will enjoy Tippy Tower immensely.

Rooftop Escape is a very simple game but it's fun. The controls are accurate and appropriate and the aesthestics are basic but original. It all makes for an uncomplicated but enjoyable game.

Hills of Glory is great fun to play, and the special abilities of each soldier type are fun to use. The game's visuals aren't the shiniest you'll see but they get the job done and they bring a bit of character to the game.

Nifty sci-fi humor and creative power-ups keep this fight good, but not great.

Zumba Dance is a motion-based game for the iPad that features music from chart topping artists and intense calorie-burning classes that will make users break a sweat.

MiniGlider does have an addicting element to it. I found myself saying "Just one more time!" when I started to play it, but that feeling quickly wore off.

It all makes for a gentle but enjoyable enough title, one that makes a change from the more safe Hidden Object games out there. It's a little on the short side but at least the price reflects that.

The sheer fact that spending money is at all tempting is a testament to Candy Crush Saga, however. It's a fun Match Three puzzler and refreshingly taxing at times.

This throwback title challenges players to dock or be destroyed.

Each of the seven different worlds is as creative as the last, and Boy Loves Girl is the ideal game to drop in on for short doses or extended sessions. It makes a pleasant change to play something so full of charm and originality.

This remix of fast-paced shoot 'em up Hypership Out of Control should satisfy new players, but those expecting a true sequel will be let down.

Rolando: Royal Edition is a faithful and loving remaster of a dearly beloved ten-year-old game, for better or for worse.

Nitpicks about the brevity and script aside, Infinite Universe is a welcome addition to Tin Man Games' portfolio. The change of theme is nice, and the new free-to-play model finally gives everyone a chance to see what all the fuss is about before parting with their finances. If the first chapter is any indication, it's going to be an adventure well worth taking.

There's a lot to be done with this grid but it can be tough to actually play any of it.

Fort Meow is a neat idea for a physics puzzler, but it could do more.

Slide around the screen and dodge overwhelming bullet patterns in this surprisingly narrative-driven shoot-em-up.

It feels like this game could have had some wickedly difficult levels, ones that demanded repetition in order or beat even once. Instead, it's about repeating and mastering the mechanic itself. While the game is certainly a very fair value at $0.99 (the game is free to download, with the first 10 levels to try out), I'd love to see future updates with more levels to play to explore the concept more.

Ninja Warrior Temple is clever, but not nearly as nimble as a ninja should be.

Hatchi is a little piece of gaming history on our iPhones, and for the price of $0.99 it is one well worth looking into.

Since it doesn't actually cost anything, I'd say Shogun is certainly worth a download. Just don't be surprised when everything's been done in (probably) less than an hour or so. Whether or not the $1.99 for the remaining three levels is a justifiable expense will depend on the individual.

Tapping and swiping aerial attacks makes the game so much more than just tilting and dodging, while the persistent accrual of army points and upgrades gives that extra little bit of encouragement to play just one more game.

The great variety of puzzles should keep anyone playing for a long time to come. It's also perfectly laid out for future updates to include new puzzle packs.

The visuals are great, but this is a deep game with lots going on. Players with only a passing interest run the risk of being quickly overwhelmed while players looking for something serious to sink some time into will likely enjoy this title.

Scramblies is a good-looking, easy to play, and fun physics puzzler. The gameplay is enjoyable and offers a lot of different level with unique obstacles. The app is definitely worth its $0.99 price tag.

There are plenty of reasons to love this quirky little game, but getting faster times and more points will keep players slingshotting for every last diamond.
