Audiosurf was all the rage back in 2008. It was a crazy rhythm game that built racing tracks around a music track which you chose from your own personal music library, and it tailored each track to the beats and baseline of each individual song while the player races across …

Final Taptasy does something interesting right from the start; it’s an affectionate parody of Final Fantasy games and its JRPG brethren while also embracing the best of the clicker genre, and it succeeds admirably as both a clicker game and an RPG game as a result. Of course, it’s still …

In just over the two weeks I’ve played Tinker Island, I keep finding myself repeatedly coming back to the game again and again. It’s not that I can’t stop playing the game; in fact, it’s the fact that I have to stop myself from playing that makes me want to …

Ever since the overwhelming success of Crossy Road, we’ve been getting a lot of “adverb noun” games that have tried to replicate a fraction of the success of Crossy Road, whether they be hit-or-miss (spoiler: mostly miss). I mean, don’t get me wrong! We have gotten some good inspired ones …

Satellina Zero, a sequel to 2015’s arcade game Satellina, is different from its predecessor in a few distinct ways. While the first game put you through arenas where you were forced to dodge frantic patterns of dots and rack up as high a score as possible, Satellina Zero instead simplifies …

At first, I was really impressed with Combo Critters’ unrelentless innovation with a mix of Pokemon-style collecting and turn-based battling.
