The controls are a mess, the combat regularly boils down to button bashing, and the game - as far as I've played - seems to consist of an endless string of cage match brawls and uninspiring platforming bits. But this isn't going to dethrone Super Castlevania any time soon. You've got undead enemies, tricky platforming sections, and a gothic setting. But there are loads more levels to play, and some fresh ideas dotted around here and there.Īrk of Sinners Advance feels a bit like an old skool Castlevania game. You dance around these micro-galaxies, collecting gems before feeding yourself to 'orrible monsters. Think Super Mario Galaxy in 2D and in bold primary colours. Every platform was essentially a planetoid with its own gravitational tug. The original They Need To Be Fed was about gravity. It's awfully silly, and super simple, but Monkey Boxing can be fun in short bursts.īy Bit Ate Bit - iPhone, iPad ( £1.49 / $2.99) The real triumph is the same-device multiplayer - which even works on an iPhone. There are also little tapping and twirling mini-games during the bout. You've got a punch button (which you'll want to tap extremely fast) and a block button (which you can use to break combos). Take two primates dress them up in shorts and boxing gloves and throw them in the ring together.
Monkey Boxing is exactly what it says on the tin. Pretty funny, and incredibly well made.īy Drakkar Dev - iPhone, iPad ( £1.99 / $2.99)
This app, made by the digital gamebook gurus over at Tin Man Games, boasts some additional stuff, you see, including a soundtrack, achievements, multiple bookmarks, and narration from Wil Wheaton. But you got all that in the ol' paperback edition. There are branching paths, stat-swapping fights, and different weapons. It's a book about high fantasy, science fiction, and poop jokes. You know, the guy who writes Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
#Mino monsters 2 water stones trial
Trial of the Clone is a comedy Choose Your Own Adventure story from Zach Weinersmith. The actual gameplay is monotonous as hell (and I'm not sure why barrelling through a mob of ghouls damages my car as much as it injures the walkers), and then you discover it's packed with in-app purchases and obnoxious adverts.īy Tin Man Games ( £2.49 / $3.99) It's ostensibly about gunning down great crowds of zombies with your gun-toting stock car, though you'll spend more time wrestling with the controls and tumbling off a cliff than worrying about the undead. To be blunt, mind, this is a miserable little game. Rally is your official 'Chillingo-Published Game of the Week'. As a consequence, it's hard to really improve at the game, and Fish Out Of Water! soon becomes quite repetitive and forgettable. Since you don't have much control over the skipping, though, it all feels a bit hands-off after that.
And picking the different animals - from Finlay the dolphin to Micro the whale - has a slightly strategic feel to it. The act of throwing those fish is nice and tactile. Oh, and finishing an endless procession of mini-missions. In this latest game from Fruit Ninja creator Halfbrick, you skim fish across the ocean surface like pebbles in the hope of impressing a panel of crabs.
