Droidscape: Basilica Teaser Trailer & New Site!

Finally, Kyttaro Games has unveiled (early and still relatively unpolished) gameplay scenes from Droidscape: Basilica via the brand new teaser trailer you can watch above! What's more, screenshots, the HeadTwister head-tracking tech for iOS and more have been revealed over at droidscape.kyttarogames.com.

Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery : Episode 1

Keeping things simple, let me suggest you have a look at this most intriguing and visually excellent puzzle adventure: Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery - Episode 1. It's out for both iPhone and iPad, sells for a ridiculously low $0.99 and is impressive in a variety of ways, including in its writing.

The Droidscape: Basilica Story Trailer Unveiled

As you may already know, Droidscape: Basilica by Kyttaro Games, will be an ambitious puzzle-arcade game for iOS that will sport unique path-drawing/two-gameplay-phases mechanics, stop-motion animation, an impressively rich soundtrack and a fleshed out sci-fi setting. Well, what you see above is the first trailer of the thing; the story trailer.

As you may also be aware of I've been working on this one for over a year now, so, well, spreading the word would be deeply appreciated.

Droidscape: Basilica will be released for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch very (very!) soon.

It's not expensive: XCOM - Enenmy Unknown iOS

No, wise reader, $19.99 is not expensive for an iOS game. Not when it's XCOM: Enemy Unknown we are talking about; the best, richest, most beautiful turn-based strategy game of recent years on any platform and one of the best strategy games ever fullstop. What's more, it's a game that will not only entertain you for dozens of hours, but an excellent port from the world of keyboards and joypads to the highly portable world of touch-screens.

And, yes, this is a radical re-imagining of 1993 TBS classic UFO: Enemy Unknown, that has been brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century, complete with elegant mechanics, stunning graphics and a lovely interface. Oh, and do keep in mind that though changes have been made, they are generally for the best and the tactical bits are the best they 've ever been.

Scurvy Scallywags in The Voyage to Discover The Ultimate Sea Shanty

You got to love huge game names, especially as they make site/blog titles seem so ridiculously cumbersome and even more so when said titles have been penned by the mighty Ron Gilbert. What's more, you also have to love (nay, adore) the fact that Scurvy Scallywags in The Voyage to Discover The Ultimate Sea Shanty has just been released for the iPad and iPhone and, I suppose, everything in between.

It's a beautifully illustrated, very polished and wisely designed match-3 pirate musical RPG and thus has a description elaborate enough to match its title. Also, it's the first match-3 I've really enjoyed in ages and the only one to feature 100 hats in it.

Scurvy Scallywags currently costs $0.99, but, if the rumours are correct, this offer wont last long.

Gua-Le-Ni goes universal; yes, it does.

Gua-Le-Ni, one of the oddest and most delightfully refreshing games installed on my iPad, has finally done the jump to iPhone and has thus gone universal, which is frankly great news. The cube-spinning, monstrosity-spawning, cryptozoology thingy can be grabbed over at the App Store.

Android Arcade-y Fun with Death Ray Manta

Brilliantly explosive and quite frankly stunning arena shmup Death Ray Manta has finally ported its laser-bearing self to Android. Grab it for almost nothing over at Google Play and see if you can actually beat it. Oh, and, yes, it's highly recommended this one.

The Active Soccer Android

As I pointed out sometime ago on Indiegames.com the iOS version of Active Soccer is, by far, the best footie game I've played on a phone/touch-device of all sorts. It actually manages to get close (well, within reason) to achieving that Sensible Soccer thing and, long story short, the game has just gotten itself ported to Android. You can grab it over at the Google Play store. It's a mighty fine port too!

Amiga Forever Essentials for Android

Cloanto have been providing us with excellent Amiga emulation over a variety of platforms for more than a few years now and, well, they have finally ported Amiga Forever to Android. As always, the emulator comes complete with licensed versions of the necessary system files and emulates both the A500 and the A1200. Oh, and you can of course load up and play your very own disk images on your device.
