Although at times it can feel like asks players to create their own fun, there's enough hidden surprises and unique features in this tower defense game that it provides a solid and specific experience.

Tiki Towers 2 is the full package for the physics puzzle fan. It's charming to look at and offers an enjoyable challenge while mixing it up every now and then to ensure that the game always feels fresh. Sure it might be liberally borrowing some World of Goo elements but it's borrowing from one of the greats which is no bad thing at all.

While I wasn't a big fan of the interface and menus, it was bearable until I noticed a problem. There's no way to individually remove pieces of the bridge.

In a lot of ways, holedown feels like the mobile game equivalent of comfort food. It’s something that’s extremely enjoyable from time to time, but too much of it may not be the best thing for you. If this fits the bill of what you want in your next mobile game purchase, than go ahead and give holedown a try, but if you’re looking for a substantive experience on your phone, you may want to look elsewhere.

Command legions upon legions of tiny Roman armies in a quest to conquer a bedroom in this turn-based, multiplayer-focused strategy game.

Charm is a big part of what makes Tiny Empire stand out in the bustling psychics puzzler genre.

Idle Skies is all about waiting for your wealth to pile up and occasionally interacting with your planes. While it's a decent enough option for a game you want to be able to check on minimally, for most of us, it's likely to seem a fairly lackluster experience.

As much fun as score chasing it, Worms Party would start to feel stale if it wasn't for the missions provided.

It takes a while for this kingdom to get its act together, but once it does it's worth ruling.

Dizzypad lives up to Nimblebit's previous strong track record, delivering a fun, well-rounded, casual and visually good-looking gaming experience which is both addictive and at the same time, a joy to play.

TownCraft is now a universal app, and assembling a personal little town is as engaging as ever.

Without an "endless" mode or some other such business that we've all grown accustomed to in our iOS games, I worry that some players will simply expect to beat To-Fu: The Trials of Chi in a matter of days (or several consecutive hours) and move on to the next title. While this is certainly a possiblity, as it is with most popular App Store offerings, it's still bound to be an enjoyable experience.

It might be heavy on the exposition and light on the camera control, but this is one solid free-to-play that usually always has something for players to do. Being the boss of a secret organization created to deal with extra-terrestrial activities sounds like a fantastic job, and thanks to Men in Black 3 I'm even more inclined to believe it.

With lush graphics and a silken thread of upbeat sound, Tiny Ray keeps me building swirly ice cream cone and cotton candy towers. Like a kid in a candy store, I lap up the confection that is Tiny Ray.

Sage Solitaire is a great variant on the usual solitaire vibe.

The Prince of Persia series gets yet another modernized port, and the App Store is all the better for it.

Cado is certainly one fun and hard to put down game. The 40 levels (soon to be 60, total) are somewhat of a mixed-bag as far as challenge goes, but that shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying this addicting casual physics puzzle-platformer.

In Between has some frustrating snags, but it's engaging and tells a sweet story.

The way Solid Soccer makes multiplayer soccer feel like an easy, pick-up-and-play experience while remaining satisfying is commendable. It's not the deepest soccer game out there, but that's clearly not what it's going for. Instead, it offers up some good and light multiplayer soccer that is reminiscent of old-school soccer games.

Compass Point: West is a neat, western take on town building and defense.

Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle gives a fresh coat of paint to a well-warn genre.

Guiding soldiers around the field can be a pain, but aside from that Great Battles Medieval is pretty sweet.

I was, and still am, genuinely surprised and impressed with Emissary of War. It's fun, funny and genuinely different in a genre over-saturated with Blizzard wannabes.

If there is a game equivalent to a beach book, Finger Shoes is it. It's not going to tax the mind, but it does make a terrific light summer diversion for those who love fast-tapping action games.

Bullet-hell with a pleasant twist thrown in.

Game Center support and the ability to share your scores via Facebook adds a slight competitive edge but really the fun lies in simply progressing through the levels.

Square&Ball HD's free-form nature may sometimes work against it but for $0.99 players could do far, far worse.
