Featuring super-creepy visuals, spine-tingling audio, and several genuinely startling moments, Indigo Lake makes for a fantastic spooky experience at just the right time of year.

Featuring clever control mechanics, loot to find/purchase, and interesting strategic gameplay, Pocket Titans may be a short adventure, but it’s certainly an enjoyable one.

Much like their fabulous previous release Year Walk, DEVICE 6 sees you tossed into the midst of a mystery and tasked with finding answers through exploration and puzzle-solving.

Featuring a clever mechanic that allows for on-the-fly turret swapping within a centrally-located edifice, Steampunk Tower sees you fighting a battle on two fronts while micromanaging your defenses.

No stranger to mixing game types to garner unique and interesting results, Foursaken infuses elements of roguelikes, creature collectors, RPGs, and adventures to create a compelling offering.

Following the die-early-and-die-often mechanics of titles like Super Hexagon and Pivvot, Duet offers another fantastic offering with minimalist graphics, a rocking soundtrack, and super-responsive controls that make for an experience that’s both frustrating and rewarding.

Despite employing a similar art style as many of their other offerings, Random Runners fails to excite or intrigue us in any way.

As educational as it is fun, Type:Rider uses environments composed of letters to teach the history of fonts.

You and up to three additional players hold mankind’s fate in your hands as you attempt to cure four diseases that threaten our continued existence.

Featuring interesting level design, a cool pixel art aesthetic, and a quirky sense of humor, LEVEL 22’s restricted vision and reliance on trial-and-error often left us wandering the halls in frustration.

Featuring a great mixture of dumb luck and strategic gameplay, Dead Man’s Draw is a compelling challenge hampered mainly by its IAP push and its lack of an online multiplayer option.

Despite a handful of game modes and a fairly smooth experience overall, 2K14 reinforces the adage that all that glitters is not gold.

Featuring a variety of enemies, simple controls, and tons of loot used to upgrade your character, Trouserheart may be light on depth, but it’s heavy on fun.

With the addition of a playable female protagonist, a greatly expanded game world, collectible ingredients for enhancement potions, and a richer storyline, Infinity Blade III retains all of the fantastic elements of the first two offerings while managing to improve in fun new ways. We’ll be quite disappointed if this truly is Infinity Blade’s swan song, as each iteration has been decidedly better than its predecessor.

Noteworthy for its cool mechanic that instantly swaps first-person and top-down viewpoints whenever the mood hits, Strike Team has our full attention.

Eschewing the multitude of weaponry available in the original for a crash course in defensive driving techniques, Zombie Highway: Driver’s Ed makes up for it with missions, vehicle upgrades, and experience leveling that compels the player to keep on truckin’.

A port of the popular Flash game, Knightmare Tower mixes twitch gameplay with light RPG elements and an engaging art style to create on-the-go fun.

Retaining the same style and spot-on controls as the original, Mikey Hooks adds grappling hooks, more obstacles, and a damage mechanic that adds a great deal of challenge and makes the sequel a standout hit.

Using simple building mechanics, sparse hands-off combat, and just a light smattering of overall goals to achieve, Rymdkapsel’s gameplay reinforces its presentation to offer a clever and challenging experience.

Featuring aircraft from the post-WWII/Cold War era, a short campaign, plenty of multiplayer options, and a few neat surprises, Sky Gamblers: Cold War provides yet another combat sim that gets the job done without standing out.

Replay value is very good, as there are plenty of unlockables and mixing up your loadouts can have an impact on how the battles play out. Additionally, enemy placement varies from one effort to the next, so that helps to keep things fresh.

Replay value is pretty good, as you can play very stealthy in one playthrough while blasting baddies at will in another. Your dialogue choices can also differ from one attempt to another, warranting additional playthroughs to see how these decisions play out. The gameplay itself is fun, despite (or maybe even in response to) the somewhat awkward enemy AI that often leaves them exposed like cutouts in a shooting gallery.

Replay value is pretty good, as you can grind to get better gear and afford interesting perks, but we just didn’t feel that there was enough there to keep us interested for very long.

Replay value is good, as you’ll require multiple tries on some levels to earn all 5 water droplets that represent the most efficient use of water. GameCenter provides a handful of leaderboards, though no achievements.

The controls were responsive, just not sensitive enough.

Puzzle design is outstanding, with many later instances requiring extremely tight timing to escape certain doom. A dozen GameCenter achievements are available for a bit of replay value, and there is even an achievement for completing the game in one sitting with 5 or fewer deaths, which can be a pretty daunting challenge. This was our first experience with LIMBO and we were pretty blown away.

After a rocky start that saw the original release pulled for several months, Black Dawn is back with a new moniker, better visuals, and the same great gameplay that attracted gamers in the first place.

Offering more than 80 new levels, video replays through Everyplay, and a handful of new and challenging obstacles, League of Evil 3 is back with the same vim and vigor of the previous two versions.
