Soul (0)
3/11/10 •
Soul by Kydos Studio kind of scares me. Really. It’s a freaky app. In Soul the game starts with a beating heart on a black screen, with the title Soul etched faintly in glowing blue white. A beating heart in a black setting always conjures the most vivid of horror movies for me, so upon the ... Read More

It’s too easy to overlook all the great games in the App Store. With so many options, and so many new games released every day, it’s easy to just get caught up in what Apple recommends as the latest and greatest. I like to search deep down into the bowels of the App Store, sifting ... Read More
Jamzu revisited (0)
2/23/10 •
Back in October, David reviewed Jamzu, a strategy board game. The review is located here. Well, Jamzu has recently been revamped with 2 player mode on the same device (previously 2 player was only allowed through Wi-Fi) and a new rolling system that created, as the developer claims, “a huge boost in game play quality.” ...

Lines of Mania (!) (0)
2/12/10 •
I felt the name of this game calls for an exclamation mark. Lines of Mania, by Good Apps UG, is a strategy game based on a game that’s been played for years on paper (the Mexcian derivative is “Las Lineas”, “The Lines”, or “Numeros,” “Numbers”, according to my girlfriend). It’s really, really simple: connect the ... Read More

The late, great Hunter S. Thompson wrote, “Football Season Is Over.” Nostalgia has set in and the Super Bowl was Sunday! Luckily, the next season starts March 5, 2010… for the players and coaches, that is: the rest of us will have to wait until September. Oi. Despite sports week ending last Friday, I think ...

Bad Apples (0)
2/10/10 •
Every so often I come across a game that I can see myself playing over and over again. Or one, at least, that’s clever and quirky enough to wedge itself into my usual game rotation; given my obsessiveness over games, this is hardly a trifle characteristic. Bad Apples by Metaversal Studios is one such game ... Read More
Gluons (1)
2/10/10 •
Gluons by 2 Cubed reminds me a bit of Furballs in Space! It has the same, ominous music common to sci-fi flicks set in space, and it involves a similar premise of connecting like objects together, to eventually collect enough together to rack up points. Only, in Furballs, the objects played with were of the ... Read More
Adams Trouble Full (2)
1/26/10 •
This past August, I came across a game called Adams Trouble, the lite version, from a developer who requested a review from Appstruck. I admit, my first impressions were slightly of the nauseated variety – having looked over the main character, Adam, I described him as, “a strange, amorphous, reddish beige creature with bulging eyes, ...

Flinger Frenzy (0)
1/21/10 •
Flinger Frenzy is a new game by Motion 9 Studios that takes a creative twist on the usual block-breaking game. Rather than the usual scenario of objects falling down and you fumbling your fingers around the screen, back and forth, shooting blocks and trying to beat the clock, or catching a ball as it falls ...

Furballs! (In Space) (0)
1/20/10 •
In my last post I mentioned that Block Off didn’t allow the display to flip depending on the orientation of your phone. Well, neither does Furballs!, developed by Dan Russell-Pinson, but at least this time the orientation is to my liking. Furballs! is a matching game where you guide floating little balls of fur into ... Read More
