    I highly recommend checking out Bebop Puzzle Beat if you like jazz and puzzle games.

    If you enjoyed other games like Shadow Bug, Shadow Blade: Reload, and Goblin Sword, but wished there was a splash of cyberpunk flair, then Into Mirror is the game for you.

    If you are a fan of the episodic point-and-click graphic adventures from Telltale, and love the iconic Batman, then this game is a must-have.

    MEGATROID is a well-made side scrolling platform adventure, and anyone that is a fan of the genre needs to check this one out. And for free, it just can't be beat.

    If you enjoyed games like Sword & Sworcery, Machinarium, and Broken Age, and love something as quirky as constant rhyming, then you will appreciate what Milkmaid of the Milky Way brings to the table.

    I recommend giving Island Delta a try if you like adventure puzzle games that are set in the future and want to give yourself a challenge.

    I love the beautiful visual style and music, and the fact that everything is mostly automatic makes it easy to see what’s happening and understand. It’s a bit disappointing that the developers don’t plan on adding the expansions to this version, or even adding more game modes in the future. But if you’re looking for a great solitaire game for quick sessions, then Onirim is a pretty good fit for the price of a dollar.

    Level creation in Amazing Shape Shifters is a great tool, and it means there's near endless gameplay. That's a pretty good deal for just $1.99, though I will say that I'm disappointed the game wasn't made universal.

    So far, I’ve been enjoying Monster Want Burger because of the delightful visuals and music, but it does get somewhat repetitive.

    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.

    This game is entertaining and challenging. I might even say it is a bit too challenging.

    There's a learning curve to this game, but if you can stick it out and learn the mechanics of Human Defense, you'll be rewarded with a fun game that's quite challenging.

    If you are tired of killing skeletons, build a tower. If you have to wait 20 minutes for your building to be complete, defend your castle for a while.

    It's one of the best hidden object games that I've played in quite some time, thanks to a wide variety of puzzles, hidden object scenes, and mini games.

    Overall, this game in isolation is fun. Just don't expect any sort of social experience. Swappin' can't spell that.

    Put simply, it is a breath of fresh air from the endless piles of junk that line the App Store these days.

    If you’re a fan of action-packed dungeon crawlers that are inspired by roguelikes but without the permanent-death-so-you-start-over-from-square-one element, then Heroes of Loot 2 is the perfect match up for you.

    I recommend checking out Infinite Skater if you want a simple pick-up-and-play infinite runner that will pass the time.

    This is a very exciting and challenging game that will generate hours of fun for anyone who likes a straightforward arcade challenge.

    Other than the wonky online multiplayer mode, this game is lots of fun.

    While I love arcade space shooters, the touch controls in Cosmos are my biggest letdown here. I am not a fan of how it is currently set up, though automatically attacking is nice, I hope to see some other options for controls in the future.

    The game is gorgeous to look at, the music is fun, and there are a ton of customization options available for you to create your ultimate battle bot. I just wish that there was a way for you to control your bot in battle, but this auto battle mechanic does mean it’s easier to play this game in short bursts throughout the day, at the very least. Plus, it’s just fun to see what you can come up with when it comes to the parts that you manage to get a hold of. I do find the timers for boxes to be a tad frustrating, but the gems that you need to unlock them faster are not too hard to get, but of course you can buy them through in-app purchases if you’re impatient (this is a free game, after all). I recommend giving CATS: Crash Arena Turbo Stars a try if you’re looking for a fun, pint-size arcade battle bot game.

    Even with the over-abundance of in-app purchases, this game is fun.

    The core of this game, though, is filled with fun and frantic gameplay. Being able to control the game's music is the cherry on top. This is definitely a cool and quirky game. Tower defense fans will definitely do well to grab a copy before Tadstock blows it up.

    The graphics are downright spectacular and remind me of other great games I’ve played in the past, such as Lara Croft GO and even a bit of Journey. The tunes are tranquil and relaxing, despite the somewhat gloomy tone of the game, and really just pull you in. Controls are responsive and intuitive with no issues from my testing of the game. I think the difficulty level is just right, because it picks up at a gradual pace and most of these puzzles can be solved by trial-and-error, so anyone can enjoy this fantastic puzzle adventure story.

    Having challenges and other game modes to play is a nice change from the standard fare that I normally play, and I'm especially enjoying the Two-Headed Giant mode (a team battle) from the Custom Games option.

    Trivi.al is one of the more enjoyable trivia games that I have played. The visual appeal and clean menu layout makes the game inviting to gamers of all types, and the competition factor will get you hooked after a few rounds. With both a free and paid version, there's no reason why you shouldn't hop in to the world of Trivi.al right now.

    I found it to be rather fun and addictive, and while it looks simple in the beginning, it quickly gets difficult, presenting a real challenge. Perfectionists will spend some time getting everything in here.

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

    A win for pocket casual gaming. It is fun to play, easy to figure out and cute to boot. Fans of puzzle games will enjoy the various challenges. The replay value is low because it isn't difficult to collect all three stars on every level. However, the price is reasonable and it is worth the download for the casual gamer.
