Review: Meow Meow Happy Fight

We have been playing Meow Meow Happy Fight for the past few days and we love it.  Essentially ‘Happy Fight’ is the death match simplified and it’s great.
Let me start from the beginning, Happy Fight is a top down arena shooter where you and multiple enemies must run about totting up as many frags as [...]

Review: Doodle Bomb HD

We get asked to look at a lot of doodle games at Apptrawler and many we have to say no to due to the sheer amount of games out there to look at.  But whilst playing around with our iPad yesterday we got the code for Doodle Bomb HD and we thought we’d give it [...]

Review: Wizzley Presto and the Vampires Tomb

We heard about this game a few months back whilst reading up on our old 8 bit hero ‘Dizzy’.  Dizzy was an egg who had numerous adventures in the days of the spectrum and Amiga.  I believe his last outing was on the Sega Megadrive before the Oliver Twins and Codemasters [...]

Review: Predators – Out on App Store

The original Predator movie back in 1987 sparked a huge cult following and a subsequent movie and various crossovers with Aliens.

Review: Shadow Edge

The dual stick control method works great on the iPhone, and as such, it seems like there is no shortage of dual stick shooters. Much like sifting through recently released match 3 games, a lot of them feel very similar, but every once in a while you stumble across a game like Pastel Games’ Shadow [...]

Preview ‘Flick Baseball’

We first saw the beginnings of Freeverse’s Flick Baseball at WWDC last year, and I can only imagine how long it had been in development before then. Much like the recently released Warpgate [iPhone: $4.99 / iPad: $7.99], it’s immediately evident that a lot of time and effort went in to this game.
Flick Baseball is [...]

Touchgrind HD

Touchgrind HD

Touchgrind originally came out for the iPhone and was a cool way to kill some time by simulating a finger board. The controls were awesome and many different tricks could be accomplished. But it’s one big flaw was in the hardware it played on. The screen was way [...]
