It's just one of "those games" that kind of speaks to everyone. It could use a little refinement (I mean what game couldn't?), but it's definitely a fun little iOS distraction.

Of course Parallel Mafia is still a good way to kill time when it comes to location-based shenanigans. It might not be all that pretty or super-intuitive, but it's a great deal more personal (even a bit "tactile") than lots of other offerings in the genre right now.

Moovin Up is a challenging puzzle game with a humorous theme. But the controls add frustration to what could be a great puzzle experience.

It offers a fun twist on a well loved genre, and it's loaded with content. The game leans towards the strategy and puzzle categories, which might be a turn off for anyone seeking a more visceral experience, but players who don't have the patience or the skill required for aiming will love the easy access offered by Siege Hero.

This adventure game doesn’t do anything surprising or ambitious, but it is perfectly enjoyable nonetheless.

If you're up for one heck of a punishing puzzle game, this minimalist runner delivers in spades.

Conquer the world, one hexagon tile at a time, in this free to play empire-building sim.

Moleheart probably won't turn non-believers or dabblers into enthusiasts, but it will doubtlessly please fans of the genre. Plus there's moles. Moles and necromancy. If nothing else it wins major Silly Points.

I think this is a very interesting start to a concept that if fleshed out more, could be incredibly engrossing. As of now, it's worth checking out if curious, but I think it's a few steps short of being great.

A solid game that never quite manages to justify its own existence. Anyone who checks it out will probably have a fun experience, there are just so many other games that offer that same experience.

Pocket Lab's simple science makes for an enjoyable experiment.

Heartbeats is an intriguing indie visual puzzle game that's sure to keep you interested for its short length.

I did have a few problems with it but Symphony of Eternity is very much the kind of RPG that's far more impressive than it looks. Quirks aside it's nice to play an iOS RPG that does things a little differently. And it's even nicer to play one that manages the different so well.

Though underwhelming on the whole, Lomu Rugby Challenge has a few solid nuggets worth building on in the future.

It's possible to keep grinding and progress, but there is a certain amount of repetition here. The early moments of Total Recoil are the most entertaining with it tough to reach such heights the longer one plays it. There's fun to be had, but eventually, those challenges will begin to grate.

Off The Leash could have been much better. There are just so many questionable design decisions that let down the game's concept.

Catch the Candy has fun elements to it, but the awkwardness of the grappling hook mechanic with movement along flat ground and the lack of content makes it suffer a bit.

It's not perfect by any means with the size of the ape making it tricky to line him up correctly at times. Controls can also be a little clumsy and not always as accurate as you'd like, even despite the option of tilt and touch based methods. Despite the rough moments, Monkey Slam succeeds thanks to its charm and change of pace for an usually predictably genre.

A walk down memory lane isn't foolproof for Dragon Quest III, but it has its merits.

While the package is technically sound, the inherent limitations of touchscreen gaming unfortunately just hold Metal Slug 1 back. Only dedicated fans in need of a fix, or those extremely curious, should dig in and check it out.

Despite such signs of a changing market, Beastie Bay might not be the finest of titles from the developer but there’s still satisfaction to be had, once fully understood, although don’t expect to be able to play across multiple devices as there’s still, oddly, no iCloud save support.

Bullet Pea's "jumps only" gameplay is novel in theory, but has problems in practice.

If you like action games that make you think, Silent Swords ZERO is a great choice. The graphics are cute, the controls make it fun, and the levels themselves are well-constructed, though somewhat linear.

Risky Rescue is a tough game. Think Flappy Bird tough.

Yokai Dungeon is a really creative take on the roguelite dungeon-crawler, but it’s controls can limit your enjoyment of it.

Table Top Racing offers hectic combat racing for a very reasonable price.

Despite the unnatural controls, Fail Hard ultimately wins with its diverse and entertaining collection of levels.

This is another casual-focused collectible card game with role-playing elements, but it's a better version of one.
