His latest release ‘Doodle Bomb HD” for the iPad is a strangely addictive tap game with have kept the guys in the office busy. We discussed with him his past, […]
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 […]
When we first saw Office Heroes, I admit I was more than a little surprised with the overwhelmingly positive response the game saw both in article comments and on our forums. It seems that social gaming is a guilty pleasure for many, and as I mentioned in the preview, Office Heroes has an incredibly clever […]

We have followed Big Pixel Studios for some time and loved their game Piyo Blocks and enjoyed a great developer Interview back in October 2009. Since then they have had great success with Piyo Blocks 2 for both iphone and iPad. Well they are back again, but this time they have put down their puzzle […]
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 had a falling out […]

A couple weeks ago we first caught wind of Archetype, an online first person shooter by iPhone developer MunkyFun which is comprised of veterans of LucasArts and the creators of both Shift [99¢] and Ivory Tiles [99¢] for the iPhone.

Aqueduct is a new puzzle game from developer Kieffer Bros. that combines the concepts of pipe connecting games like Pipe Mania with classic tile sliding puzzles that have been around for ages. It’s a really clever idea and Aqueduct manages to pull it off with a style and simplicity that’s perfectly suited to the […]
It’s no secret we love Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor [$2.99 for the iPhone. While Tiger Style Games is hard at work building whatever their successor to Spider will be, they’ve also had time to crank out the free Spider: Hornet Smash [Free], and Spider: Bryce Manor HD for the iPad which they’re […]
Per a recent posting on the Myst forums, Myst [$4.99 / Free] just had an update submitted to Apple to add iOS 4 compatibility. Interestingly enough, also mentioned in the same thread by Cyan employee Chogon is the fact that yet another Cyan classic is coming to the App Store: The Manhole. The Manhole is […]
The original Missile Command was released to arcades in 1980, and aside from being played by John Connor in Terminator 2, Missile Command has provided a solid core gameplay element which has been either the direct inspiration of evolved upon in far too many video games than I could even attempt to list– Also, it […]
