VIAM Game for iphone and android

It is a unique puzzle game that pleases your eyes and causes excess hair loss, all in one clean swipe.

Games like Puzzlejuice and SpellTower proved that simple art styles can score large followings in the iOS community. VIAM piggybacks on titles like these with its minimalistic design, starring circles and triangles dressed in a catchy color scheme.

The goal of the game is to get your light blue circle from the left side of the screen to the green dot on the right side of the screen. This sounds simple, but as you progress through the 24 levels, new obstacles are added making your task increasingly complex.

To begin with, you will only have to deal with stationary gray obstacles. Later, you will face circles that move vertically when you move vertically, and others that vanish with each step you take. Land on one of the obstacles and you are sent back to the beginning of the level. With several different types of obstacles in the same level, things get extremely hectic, and at times you might be driven to the brink of insanity before solving a level. Hopefully you won’t go insane playing this game, but if you do, plug in your headphones and listen to the soothing background music.

However, the controls are the one thing detracting from the clean art style and difficult levels. At the bottom of the screen there are four arrows for movement: vertical movement on the left, and horizontal movement on the right. This layout works well enough, but there is some delay after you push a button before you can make another move. This delay forces you to play at a slower pace, and it makes things frustrating, especially after failing a level multiple times.

Apart from the controls, VIAM is a solid puzzle game. Achievements and leaderboards are included through Game Center, with achievements for completing each level, and leaderboards to see who completed the levels in the fewest number of moves. Even with the leaderboards, VIAM’s replay value isn’t great. More levels definitely need to be added, and a few new obstacle types wouldn’t hurt either.

With its crisp art style and simple yet challenging gameplay, VIAM is an engaging experience. While the puzzle masters among us might have little difficulty completing the levels, the rest of us will have quite the time scrambling our way through. If the developer continues to support the title and provide new levels, I can see VIAM building a strong following of gamers. Until then, see how long it takes you to beat all 24 levels.

Tap the Frog game for iphone

Tap the Frog game for iphone

Tap the Frog takes a frog as the main character and then sets you a number of different mini games to challenge you.

Most of what Tap the Frog is about is speed. Pop as many frogs as you can in the time limit, see how fast you can make the frog eat the flies, or see how fast you can get three frogs on the shelves.

As the title suggests, it's often about tapping. Tapping the frog five times to make it change colour, tapping to throw snowballs at frogs.

It sounds, on paper, like it could be repetitive. But in reality it isn't. The games change so there is always variety and the games are over in a flash, so you barely have time to get bored. Before you've realised what you were doing, you're off to something else.

It's not just random tapping either. There are reaction games, tap the frog when it turns blue; and those that need more concentration, such as tapping the frog that matches the colour named; or maths puzzles.

Each level is awarded points and you win stars, levels unlocking as you proceed. Some of the games are so frustratingly simple, you'll find yourself going back to play them again and again because you're desperate for a proper score.

There are loads of achievements to be had and integration with Game Center will let you see just how poor your performance really is and keep you coming back for more.

Tap the Frog might not change your mobile gaming world, but to waste 5 minutes there is plenty of fun to be had.

Shadowguns game for ipad,apple,android

Shadowguns game for ipad,apple,android

It’s always fun to be a warrior and fight and subdue hostile enemies on their own turf. And if this warrior is a modern day mercenary or bounty hunter based in the year 2350, that’s even better! The best of these mercenaries are called Shadowguns and you, John Slade are the best of the best. Your mission in the game is to find manic genius Dr. Edgar Simon and in process destroy his mutant army. The game is available in two versions – Shadowgun which works on Tegra 2 devices and is available for approximately Rs. 335; and Shadowgun THD which comes for the same price but works on devices with NVIDIA Tegra 3 processors. And no this is not just processor hype – the first thing that you notice is that the game has strikingly amazing graphics giving it a console-like experience. We found that while the visual experience was great handling the controls was not that easy.

The screen is divided into two parts, the left part is for movements and the right one has (too many) controls for moving the viewing angle, shooting, reloading and rolling over. John Slade is not alone in the adventure. He has S.A.R.A.—Slade’s personal android assistant to support him. There are three modes to play the game, easy, normal and hard.

The action is almost non-stop, the locales stunning and the gaming experience is hampered only by the less than touchscreenfriendly controls. If you have a high performance device like an Asus Transformer Prime, this is one game you have GOT to play.

Minesweeper Q game for iphone/ipad

Minesweeper Q game for iphone/ipad






















For those that haven’t touched a computer before, Minesweeper is a puzzle computer game that was popular way back in the mainframe computer days in the late 60′s and 70′s. Since then, there has been versions of the game for virtually every platform. The game is a simple grid of cells that you must uncover to discover where the mine are without uncovering them. You accomplish this with the help of numbers that tell you how many mines are adjacent you the cell. Once you have uncovered all the cells that do not contain the mines you win. If you uncover a mine you immediately lose.

Since the game is so basic, what makes MineSweeper Q stand out from the crowd? It does have two different control styles, one is a tap to uncover, tap and hold to flag, while the other is tap to flag and tap and hold to uncover. You can adjust the sensitivity of the controls to suite your needs. The difficulty can be adjusted by changing the size of the grid and the number of mines. One nice feature is the five themes for the board. My personal favorite is the sky theme with flying whales for mines.

Minesweeper Q has GameCenter support for leader boards. It tracks time, streak, and total won for each difficulty. Some of the time scores seem a bit dubious since they complete the maps in 0 seconds. I wonder what their streak is at. There isn’t too much more to Minesweeper Q keeping with their slim and fast motto. The game is ad sponsored but there is an option to remove the ads for an additional $1.99 which also lends your support to some developers that seem very open to what the customers are wanting in a Minesweeper game. While I will confess that I haven’t played many Minesweeper games on the iOS, I will say that Minesweeper Q lives up to the promises of being fast and user friendly. I found it to be a rock solid version of the classic ad would recommend this to anyone that loves to sweep a few mines now and then.

Angry Gran game for iphone

Angry Gran game for iphone















Angry Gran is a new casual game that takes a somewhat controversial theme and pairs it with a light gameplay and addictive unlockables.

Armed with a rolled up newspaper initially. Your sweet and fragile grandmother walks the street taking out everything in her path. The object is to hit the passing people and objects with as much force as possible to score money.To do this you tap and hold to build up your meter. WHen it is full you let go to unlatch an attack, that if timed correctly, will smash the object or person, giving you a pile of cash. You can let go before the meter is full, but it will not give you as much cash.

While assault and vandalism may seem easy, you have to always be on the lookout for the constable that if hit will lock you up for a moment. You must also time your strikes perfectly or else you will hit yourself and wind up in a wheelchair. The wasted time brings you closer to the checkpoints that comes at intervals. If you have not reached your quota for cash before reaching them then the game is over. Between games you can spend your cash to raise your stats and purchase items that will help you in the game. You can also upgrade you weapon with one that has extra abilities.

There is an IAP to get cash quickly if you are the type that doesn’t like to work for your achievements. The game also provides a pension that build up as intervals so you can collect more cash by returning to the game often. Games like this are simple and offer a small amount of fun. I had an enjoyable time playing it for a couple afternoons, but quickly grew tired of it as the grind for better items set in. Being a free game, I think this is perfectly acceptable, and the in app ads were not a bother to me. As casual games go this one is right down the middle, not to boring, but also nothing too amazing. Check it out and see if Angry Gran is the kind of game for you.

StarXStar game for iphone

StarXStar game for iphone















StarXStar is a card based board game that pits you against an opponent in a strategy game themed around star constellations.

Unfortunately the first thing I noticed about the game was a lack of instructions. There was no way to know how the game was to be played. I initially attempted to figure the game out on my own, and while I could place cards on the board easily enough, I was unable to determine what the meaning of each card was. The iTunes app store page for the app was also unhelpful. The answer came from the app’s website, which doesn’t rate high on Google’s search results. From there I was able to learn how to play the game.

The basic game is played by laying down on of the drawn cards on the 3×3 board. If you place it next to an opponent’s card that has a lower number adjacent to your’s then the card is turned your color. The object is to have more cards turned your color when the board fills up. Games are played as best of three and there are many variation to give you variety of games, each with their own strategy.

As you play the game you can unlock new cards to add to your deck. The game has a simple concept that is implemented such that it will offer a wide variety of strategy. The lack of instructions would be a big set back for the average gamer, but once the game is understood its is a fast card battle that will challenge the mind. For $.99 this game is a possible buy is you are a fan of the genre.

Creepy Crawlies game for iphone

Creepy Crawlies game for iphone

The game takes its cues from the long line of AR games that have sprung forth from the app store since iOS 4. The game pits you against an endless onslaught of bugs, mice, snakes, and other unsightly pests, as they march toward you and attempts to make you dinner. You are armed with some measly bug spray, but you will soon find yourself roasting the roaches with a flame-thrower or a laser raffle.

The game is controlled by holding the phone in your hands and looking around at the scenery arounds you. There is a radar dish in the corner that shows you where you are looking in relation to the incoming bugs. Once you have the bug in sight you let loose while avoiding his flanking brethren. There are six rounds and three difficulty levels which seems like enough to keep you busy.

Control-wise I had a difficult time with moving around and getting a bead on the enemy. This is until I actually watched a video of someone playing the game and I realized that this game is intended to be played standing up, and with a fair amount of room to move. This is a step more realistic than most AR games that have you simply rotating around in one spot. This can be hard for some who play their games in offices or other locations that don’t afford them to move around. Another notable omission if that lack of any high scores, or GameCenter support. Games like this thrive on the player competition to beat out their friend’s scores. While this may be comes in the future, I still found the game entertaining once I had mastered the controls. There was certainly a bit of fear welling up inside as I shuffled back way from the incoming tarantula.

The ongoing playability of games like this is hard to determine as they limit where the gamer can play, and they tend to be simple 3-D move and shoot games. This theme is definitely one of the better choices to AR, so I hope that as this game is updated we can see the features and levels expand to keep the game fresh. If you are interesting in picking up an AR game for your new iPhone 4 I think Creepy Crawlies is a good pick and will be giving you the willies for quite a while.

Paper Monsters iphone game

Paper Monsters iphone

Paper Monsters is one app that deserves much more recognition than it is given. Beyond that modest name lies an app that promises bountiful joy and hours of fun. With 4 chapters and more to come, the game delivers entertainment through the many stages in each chapter. Although obviously targeted at kids, players of all ages can enjoy this game too.

Game play involves taking control of an anthropomorphic cardboard box that looks strangely like the Shufflebot from Party Rock Anthem, and exploring the lands of the game. As the game progresses, players are met with obstacles they have to overcome. While taking place in what seems like a park, this game is definitely no walk in the park. Players have to think out of the box (no pun intended), and solve the challenges in their way. One example would be when players have to make use of an enemy’s ability to blow himself up to lower a drawbridge so that the rest of the stage can be made available for access.

One thing I like about the game would be the pipes scattered around levels. Entering such a pipe brings you to a slightly altered version of the stage, essentially making a mini bonus stage. Find the exit pipe to resume the rest of the level. While some of the pipes bring you to an entirely different environment, others bring you to a stage set in the background of the actual level. This means your character, along with the obstacles you have to overcome, will be seen in the distance while the original level scenery remains in the foreground. This adds bonus points in my book, as it serves as an interesting alternative to boring and repetitive stages.

I must also mention that the game also comes with a customization mode, where players can decorate the cardboard box with “clothes” they can purchase using buttons obtained in game play. There are also a lot of “coming soon” features, which I suppose will make the game even more awesome than it already is.

The game presents itself in a cutesy 3D effect, making full use of the display abilities found in iOS devices. I tested the game on both my iPhone 4S and my 2nd generation iPod Touch, and be it the later or newer device, the game delivered smoothly. Sound wise, the game reminds me of those cartoons meant for preschoolers, which fits the game very aptly.

All in all, this game is definitely worth the $0.99 it costs. Despite not being fully completed as seen from the slew of “coming soon” signs, this game still impresses and although it’s target audience is most likely towards the younger crowd, teens and young adults might find this entertaining too.

The Hacker for iphone

The Hacker for iphone



















The Hacker by Angry Bugs is a throw back to the days of modems and when cyberspace was a mysterious world of hackers with fancy interfaces.

Much like other hacker games, The Hacker places you in a virtual world where you must gain access to a variety of remote servers from around the world to gain information about the Glider Corporation. I wont tell you much more about the plot as this is a story driving game. The interface for hacking servers is series of puzzles that much be completed. Some involve moving bugs around a room to their respective platforms, while others are timed puzzles or memory tests. With each completed server you gain more story and move access to new features.

The game has an email system where the characters send you files or messages, but the best part of the game is the mini games. The G.A.M.E.S. section has a variety of fun arcade style games that you are able to unlock with XP you earn hacking servers. There are achievements and leaderboards with GameCenter Support, but all of it is wrapped in the retro world of old mainframe style computing.

I will say that there are secrets to be discovered in this game and with two expansions that can be purchased, there is plenty of content to keep you busy. The puzzles are not too difficult, but that really depends on your ability to abstract the problems at hand. I game the game to several friends of mine and some of them were throughly stumped by puzzles I completed in minutes. Even with the somewhat short gameplay for me I found The Hacker a nice diversion with a unique theme on the app store. The $.99 price is certainly a benefit for a game like this so if you want a puzzle game steeped in a 90′s style hacking theme, then be sure to check this one out.
