    While I still like the game, it's not perfect. The controls need a bit more work, especially having an option to directly go down platforms rather than jumping first. Oh, and strafing would be nice - currently, you can only move forward while shooting, but not shoot while moving backwards.

    This game is not going to please serious pinball players. It is more like a kids version of the tabletop game.

    This game is full of adventure and action. It includes a great combination of different arcade classics, while still testing your physics-based puzzle skills.

    Overall, this game is a lot of fun for fans of zombie themed first-person shooter games. Unfortunately, it is so difficult that you get frustrated and wish for a med pack to help you survive, which you can only really get by paying real cash for.

    If you’re in the mood for a relaxing little golf puzzle game, then I recommend giving OK Golf a try, but be warned about the controls. Hopefully that’s fixed sooner rather than later.

    Take The Act for what it's worth, and you will have a product that is worth your time and money.

    I recommend giving The Balloons a try if you want a fun pick-up-and-play title to get you through a few minutes (or hours) of your day.

    While the game isn't perfect, it's definitely a fun addition for all Batman fans. It's a great way to kill time before the movie.

    I think this is one of the bigger disappointments of the year for me. I was eagerly looking forward to Puzzle Fighter for months, as I'm a sucker for matching puzzle battle games. However, this just feels like a cash grab from Capcom and has no soul to it. Personally, it's like an empty shell to me, and that's sad. Aside from the endearing graphics, there's not much else that's good about this game.

    If you're a fan of the Futurama franchise, this is definitely a must-have game. If not, you might not understand many of the nuances or character interactions. The game doesn't provide any real back-story, expecting you to already know about Bender's attitude towards human women (especially Amy Wong) and why other characters behave the way they do. With that said, the game can be enjoyed even without that understanding. It's a fun game, if you're willing to invest more than just time into it. You also have to be willing to endure a lot of repetition.

    The graphics for this universal game are outstanding. The gameplay is simple. There isn't much to it, just swiping.

    Definitely a cool game wrapped in a challenging package.

    If you were hoping for a port of the 1982 classic arcade game, you should just walk away right now. If you are willing to accept change, or have just never heard of Zaxxon before, this is a worthy game. It looks good and is challenging and fun.

    It is so habit forming that it will keep you busy for hours without ever becoming boring. I have played this game for many hours and I'm sincerely looking forward to seeing what other surprises are in store.

    The graphics are cartoonish and follow the clean aesthetic of the other CARROT apps, the sound effects are charming and fun, and the slider control for picking decisions is intuitive and feels natural. I love the variations between each parallel world, the snark and humor in the game is top-notch (though not for everyone), and the tasks are fun to try and accomplish if the opportunity arises, though I do wish that you got some kind of in-game reward for completing them. The only problem I have with Artificial Superintelligence is the fact that sometimes the worlds seem too similar, and should definitely have more variation or randomness in them. Still, this is a game that I will continue to come back to whenever I have some spare time throughout my day.

    It's not the best hidden object game I've ever played, but if you're in need a hidden object fix, it will serve.

    I highly recommend checking out The Deer God if you like a challenging mix of infinite runner, survival, adventure, platforming, and RPG in a single game.

    It's a great little platformer, and I'd highly recommend it to those of you who are looking for a unique game this week.

    Because of the fast paced gameplay, I feel like Swipe the Deck is oriented towards match-three fans rather than poker fans. If you're a match-three fan looking for a multiplayer game, I'd pick this up, but stay away if its single player gameplay you're craving.

    Chillingo has outdone itself with Worm vs Birds. I think it is one of their best games and is definitely worth the download.

    This is a fun game with cool graphics and music. It's very easy to get into and very easy to keep playing it. There's plenty of novelty to this game that makes it more than just a tapping game.

    As a sucker for puzzle games, I'm really enjoying Bombarika so far. I'm not done with the game yet, since it's taking me a few tries on some stages. However, I love the graphic style, the music is charming, and the controls are simple. I just wish that there was a bit more detail when it comes to depth perception here, and not too happy about a premium title still having in-app purchases. Still, it's a fun and challenging game that is sure to delight many puzzle fans.

    The game is rather simple, yet strangely addictive.

    Overall, SpinCraft is pretty fun, but I just wish the controls were a bit better.

    This is a fun arcade style game for fans of side-scrolling platforms. Even though there are times when an in-app purchase would make this game easier to play, you can get pretty far without having to pay real cash.

    This is a fantastic version of a traditional dungeon crawl.

    It's easy and fun to explore, the games are simple, and you can use your earned coins to buy all kinds of new outfits and weapons.

    As far as augmented reality games go, this one is top-quality. The ghosts are hard to catch and they fight back, covering your screen with green slime or even cracking the glass. As far as Ghostbusters fandom goes, it is an entertaining and exciting way to feel like you are part of the team.

    I kind of enjoy tapping away at these glass blocks anyway just to kill some time and working with thousands of others towards one ultimate goal.
