    The gameplay itself is great. I like having to come up with words as fast as possible. That part of the app is worth the download. However, players have no control over their games.

    The stunning graphics will just suck you right into the action, and it's definitely a fun challenge.

    I am enjoying the game so far, since I do love word games. However, I would like to hear some music or sound effects while playing or navigating in the app.

    A fairly generic shooter that tends towards being overly easy.

    It is loads of fun and has classic arcade graphics. If you are a fan of ball drop games, retro games, or just having a good time, grab this in the App Store today.

    Just like its predecessors, this plot heavy game will scratch any RPG fan's itch. Unlike its predecessors, it is priced right for mobile gaming.

    I kind of wish that the game provided some indicator on the screen to tell you where the next bubble is going to be, because I'm having a bit of a hard time finding it before being a snack for the zombies. But I suppose that this is the challenge that should appeal to many.

    If you like endless runner games, this has a fun twist that includes a bit of platform gaming. The levels are challenging without being too difficult and the gameplay is smooth.

    I've been addicted to this game ever since I downloaded it. It's definitely a gem, and quite fitting for the spooky season. If you're a fan of death metal music, skeletons, eyeballs, or marble shooter games, then I highly recommend.

    My only complaint is that it takes some trial and error to figure out where to make drawings in this version of the game, but it's still a great game even when you're experimenting.

    I'm not usually a fan of these types of games, but I have actually been enjoying Mirrors of Albion HD during my time with it. I doubt I will be putting any real money into the game, but it's pretty engaging even if you don't.

    Single player isn't fantastic, but when you have five people racing for gold, it's a lot of fun.
    • tbd Metascore

    The competition is great. The game variety makes it interesting to come back to again and again. The game is free and ad supported. The ads are not intrusive.

    Galaxy Cat has a great concept, but flawed execution. If you have a stylus to play with, that could potentially make this game a lot better. It does have cute graphics and decent gameplay, so it may be worth the risk to try.

    This is a very interesting and challenging puzzle game. It reminds me of the movie "1984" with a bit of "Brazil" thrown in.

    Players who like word games will enjoy the challenge of trying to create the most destructive path out of letters. However, it is not like Scrabble or Words with Friends. This game is less about creating words and more about the adventure of defeating enemies and unlocking treasures.

    If you enjoy jigsaw puzzles and other games of this type, you should definitely give Slide Circus a look.

    If you like endless runner games, this one is a real treat. Being able to shove an innocent bystander is surprisingly satisfying when you know that no one will get hurt.

    If you love puzzles, and can be good with numbers, then Nozoku is the game for you.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The gameplay is unexciting, the interface is poorly designed, and the content is downright boring. Though this is a free game, your time would be better spent finding something else to play.

    If you like waiting around a lot or enjoy spending real cash multiple times for the same game, you might not mind this one. Otherwise, I'd recommend skipping it.

    Overall, this game in isolation is fun. Just don't expect any sort of social experience. Swappin' can't spell that.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    This is a fun game that will appeal to endless runner fans. The fact that you can challenge your friends would seem to make it even more appealing. However, the app's price tag may set some people running away from it.

    Lumigon has impressive graphics which are optimized for the iPhone 5, along with piano music that sounds like it was taken directly from Harry Potter, but the gameplay just didn't hold up for me. Still, if you're looking for something to play in short bursts of time, this is a decent game.

    Rubber Tacos is loads of fun for fans of physics-based games. Keep in mind that you will probably be faced with the need to pay real cash for in-game purchases. Luckily, you don't have to build an entire city, so you should be able to keep your addiction to a minimum.

    This game is addictive, and with 48 levels, you're sure to get your fill. Despite all your rage, you may still be just a mouse in a maze.
