While it's not entirely original or polished, Antithesis is a clever take on Pong that would benefit from a multiplayer update.

A thinking man's puzzler, Traffic Wonder HD is not a game to be taken lightly. However, put enough effort in and you will be rewarded with a gripping and satisfying brain-teaser.

Once you've got into PathPix Joy's tightly focused, gently paced logic puzzling, good luck getting out.

It doesn't reinvent the motorbike wheel, but Trial Xtreme 2 Winter Edition provides more petrol-fuelled hi-jinks for fans of previous games. We just can't shake the feeling that it would have worked better as a paid-for expansion to the existing Trial Xtreme 2 game.

A decent Bejeweled clone with horrifically expensive micro-transactions and long load times, the Vita's first freemium title is a misplaced first step into the brave new world of free games on portables.

Far from grand strategy or intricate planning, StickWars 3 is about flicking little men into the air and watching them flop down in glorious puddles of gore.

As a trinket for retrophiles to coo over it's fine, but as a game Kale In Dinoland will just end up making your blood boil.

Got Cow? is a clever and bracingly difficult physics-puzzler that's been pipped to the post by a more famous rival.

Blast Ball's joyously kinetic gameplay and simple premise make it instantly gratifying, but the occasionally annoying controls and lack of depth count against it.

Not quite bullet-hell heaven, Endless War can't match Cave's classics in terms of spectacle, and while its RPG elements are intriguing they're not enough to lever it above the pack.

A strange, if sadly under-developed twirl-'em-up that fails to exploit the potential at its intriguing core.

While there's nothing overtly wrong with it, Beeing is a fairly underwhelming addition to the seemingly endless list of cutesy casual games on iOS.

Proof that originality doesn't always trump sheer design smarts. Your fingers will never know what hit them.

This arcade racer manages to mess up the basics of racing game design, while looking and sounding poor at the same time.

An unexceptional endless racer that's competent enough for a few minutes busywork but far from the best the App Store has to offer.

A solid physics-puzzler with a limited lifespan and in need of some polish.

Downhill Xtreme is fun, good looking, and doesn't require a penny to play.

A beautifully polished, richly rewarding take on the tower defence genre.

A quirky, intriguing endless-floater that's simply far too shallow to captivate for long.

A thoughtful and well-put-together puzzle game, Reiner Knizia's City of Secrets Pipes is an enjoyable, deep, time-consuming brainbender.

Not exactly original, but a well-made and lovely looking castle defence game.

Cheese Please is far smarter than it seems, but lacking in flair. An Edam, then, rather than a delicious Brie.

Frantic, fast, and a little bit special, Ring Fling is a brilliant party game in your pocket.

Sakura Slash is a slice of fun but throwaway screen-swiping nonsense.

Fun and occasionally frantic, Zombie Ace has enough intriguing tricks up its undead sleeve to keep you entertained for a few hours.

A polished twin-stick shooter with bags of cartoony charm that just needs a little more variety to keep you blasting in longer bursts.

Near console-standard footy on a phone, from a team who go from strength to strength.

Too simple, a little rough around the edges, and lacking design nous, Split! never manages to make the most of the two genres it spans.
