Run over more zombies in Earn to Die 2

Hình ảnh
Developed by Toffee Games and released by Not Doppler, Earn to Die 2 has just been released on to the Android platform. Whereas the oriiginal Earn to Die was located in a desert setting, the newly released sequel is in an urban one, where players are attempting to cross the country and reach an evacuation zone. City after city must be traversed, and they happen to be full of zombies. You start out with a small amount of cash and a run down car. The sequel also has a new story mode, that is five times longer than what was in the original. The levels are also "multi-tierd", so players have options as to how they want to proceed to the end of a given level, such as choosing between the highway, or an underground tunnel. All of those options include a healthy dose of zombies, mind you, but they're options nonetheless. Players can unlock and uprade ten different vehicles, that range from sports car to an ice cream van. They can be armored up, mounted with guns, equi...

Twin Runners 2

Hình ảnh
Just4Fun has unleashed a wonderful game into the Google Play store. It is bold, dazzling and difficult. The controls are easy, but the task to complete is hard, no, impossible. Well, it is possible, but unlikely. The goal is to get your two characters as far as you can, in a maze with obstacles. Twin Runners 2 is a lot of fun, but you will be starting over... a lot. I came across Twin Runners 2 in a Google+ post. It was described as difficult and impossible. The in-game graphics grabbed my attention immediately. Bright bold colors, in a 3D type maze with numerous obstacles. You and your twin Ninja character are automatically propelled down a course on two separate sides of the maze. All you have to do is make sure each character doesn't hit an obstacle. Travel as far as you can, and move your characters by touching the screen. Yes, the whole control system is handled with one-touch. Touch the screen once and your characters move inwards. Touch it again and they move out. There a...

City 2048 is a puzzle game you should try. Even if you are not good at the game 2048.

Hình ảnh
I will be the first to say that I don't play puzzle games that involve numbers. It just isn't my cup of tea. Sudoku and many other similar games look intriguing, but I always pass them up. City 2048 looked interesting. It is a game based on the premise of 2048, without the numbers. Say no more! Sold! Andrew Kyznetsov recently released City 2048 into the Google Play Store. The graphics are in muted tones, and set on a grid that starts off with a couple of squares filled with blades of grass. The goal is to grow your city as much as possible, by matching like squares. You are able to shift the grid in four directions to get like squares side by side, so that you can join them into one. Now, this game is based on 2048, so there is a way to proceed in the game with logic far beyond my skill set to explain. I will say this though. The game is fun. "City 2048 is an exciting, addictive and easy to play puzzle game. It is a unique version of the 2048 Number game. Swipe to mov...

Deemo 2.0 from Rayark

Hình ảnh
It is hard to imagine the same studio that recently brought us one of the most epic hack-n-slash games we have seen on Android in a while with Implosion: Never Lose Hope, also produced the equally brilliant and stunning music games Cytus and Deemo. Recently, Rayark uploaded a new video to their YouTube channel teasing Deemo 2.0. There isn't a whole lot of information that can be found about  Deemo 2.0. We don't know if it is new downloadable content to the existing game Deemo, or if it is a whole new adventure. Based on the video, I think we are hoping it is the latter. Deemo proved to be a challenging music game that had a wonderful collection of songs to enjoy, while you were tapping out some of the notes, to add to the songs. The story that framed the musical themes was as intriguing as the song selection was diverse. It worked extremely well, and it made you feel like you knew how to play the  piano in some ways. Manual dexterity was required, as well as a good hand-eye...

Rival Kingdoms

Hình ảnh
From Space Ape Games, the makers of  Samurai Siege , comes another RTS title called Rival Kingdoms: Age of Ruin due later this month. Unlike  Samurai Siege , this game has a fantasy setting that was created with the help of Rhianna Pratchett. In the war ravaged world of Estara, players assume the role of a new recruit and will be responsible for staking out camps, raising up armies, forging alliances, and battling Ruin, who threatens the entire world. To help balance the scales against the forces of Ruin, there are powerful beings known as Ancients that avail themselves to players in battle. Players can also band together to form kingdoms, and can both prepare for war, as well as be assigned various roles such as Lord, Sentinel, and Champions, each with their own duties and rewards. Space Ape is striving for something different with this game. Regarding the game's narrative, Rhianna Pratchett had this to say (in the press release)  “Working with Space Ape on Ri...
