    Betelgeuse Brawl provides an approachable classic star-based 4x for the App Store that might be simple enough for new players, but a bit bland for veterans.

    Towel Fight 2 takes its influences from games like The Binding of Isaac, and by extension, The Legend of Zelda, but its controls turn a well designed game into a frustrating experience.

    Dungeon Defenders: First Wave is a complex co-op title that rewards players for working together, however it feels as though too much was crammed in without proper consideration of the device it was released on and it suffers terribly for it.

    Fish Out Of Water! has an immediate and friendly appeal to its simple gameplay, but a polished interface is not enough to disguise the lack of variety in the gameplay itself - what should be a more-ish 'just one more go' system is buried under a system that rewards luck as much as skill.

    If you loved the original Paperboy arcade title, then Paperboy: Special Delivery provides the goods, but the anachronistic gameplay isn't easy to enjoy if you missed it the first time around.

    A Super Meatboy-esque platformer based around sodapop. Interesting level design and concepts are marred by a lack of responsiveness in the controls.

    For fans of Pandemic 2 (and I know there are a lot of you), Pandemic 2.5 is exactly what you could have expected of a port of the title to the iOS. Unfortunately the opportunity to refine and address playability issues was not taken, leaving newer players more than a little lost and confused.

    As things are it's challenging enough to manage the copious amounts of people in Cookie Rush without having much control over when the game is going to end; it's strangely addictive despite this problem, but frustration can kick in at any time.

    A cute animal and a cute premise meant to entice the younger players, and while the gameplay is not too taxing, it's not entirely enjoyable either, mostly due to the pacing.

    Box Cat is an amusing premise the will entertain for a little while but that's about all you're getting.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An interesting little platformer that's based around timing your way forward in order to get the treasure, complete with a low-fi presentation. Serviceable, but doesn't really deliver on its promise.

    Colorbind may only appeal to those who like slower gameplay, but if you enjoy puzzle games, you owe it to yourself to give this a try.
    • 55 Metascore

    The KRPG as a genre needs to move forward from clunky, restrictive games like Inotia 4 if it wants to see success beyond its niche on the App Store; a decent title for fans, but an otherwise hard sell even at its low entry fee.

    Sometimes you just want something simple and familiar and Flapcraft fits the bill if you're just after a basic flying title.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A run of the mill shoot em up with an interesting control scheme and trippy level design. Sadly this does do enough to outweigh the game's problems.
    • 74 Metascore

    Jool is an endless runner with an interesting flip mechanic, but aside from that has nothing really to offer.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Third Blade is more flamboyant than your average side-scrolling beat'em-up and the ability to wield three unique weapons adds a bit of variety if you can afford the skills and time to grind for them.

    If you fancy a leisurely travel through alien worlds suspended between two rockets, then Sky Tourist may be just the ticket. It's a bit of a slow journey, but some will appreciate the pacing.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fun little time waster but aside from achievements there's not much here to keep your interest for very long.

    Brandnew Boy has the right idea when it comes to testing out new methods for bringing exciting action-based gaming to the iOS platform, however it's riddled with problematic design issues that not only result in the game feeling incomplete, but also dull.

    Zombie Crisis 3D is no House of the Dead, but it shares the same style and jump-in-your-face action that makes it such a fun game to play.

    While it provides some good match-three puzzle fun, Bubble Witch Saga 2’s, trying to reconcile the difficultly spikes with the IAPs is a bit of a drag.

    Hazel Dazzle is a potentially interesting - if derivative - action adventure plagued by wonky controls and performance issues.

    My Little Hero is an adorable adventure game, but definitely suited to younger audiences instead of those looking for a challenge.
    • 80 Metascore

    There's a tranquil beauty and charm to A Ride into the Mountains that is somewhat undercut by its troublesome controls.
    • 65 Metascore

    Despite a fast update to enable full iDevice support, The Lord of the Rings: Middle-earth Defense still lacks in a few key areas, obscuring an otherwise competent tower-defense title.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A constant brutal ride that challenges players with its gameplay and art style, but might be too much for anyone that's not a hardcore fan of Action-RPGs.

    While you could stick with another basic twin-stick shooter, D.A.R.K at least attempts to go a step further by featuring a story and cinematics to set the mood; it's not a lot, but it's better than shooting things at random.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's daft and a little rough around the edges, but Rollabear's silly bowling-inspired shenanigans offer some entertaining moments.
    • tbd Metascore

    Collapsticks is a neat and tidy puzzler that could easily have spiraled in to chaos (like so many other physics manipulating puzzlers), but instead it offers a range of thought provoking challenges.
