Many people like to think of themselves as crazy, creative, insane, geniuses, and makers of the best waffles. Very few can live up to being all of these things. We’re close, writing this post at almost 4am PST in the morning here. However the brothers who make up Butterscotch Shenanigans live up to all of these prestigious titles and then some. Now, starting today (Monday August 19th, 2013) at 8:30am CST and lasting all week, the developers of Towelfight 2 and Quadropus will be hosting the Butterscotch Jam.
Papers, Please is an interesting sim game that was recently released for PC and has since gained a cult following which continues to grow. The developer of the game, Lucas Pope, is also planning to bring the bureaucratic sim over to Android and iOS tablets as well. While the Android version won’t have a problem with being released onto Google Play, the developer is weary about Apple’s approval policies and isn’t sure the game will get approved for iOS devices.
Back in March of last year during GDC 2012 we sat down with InnoGames’ Head of Public Relations Dennis Heinert where we talked about the company’s catalog of MMORTS games and how they would be heading to Android soon. Since then Tribal Wars arrived and is still labeled as a beta. One of their other big MMORTS titles called Grepolis has also been slated for release onto Android and it looks like the game could finally be getting released soon.
Wizards of the Coast are about to host a year-long event called ‘The Sundering’ which will be taking place across different forms of media and platforms. The event is designed to reshape the Forgotten Realms world and one of the platforms involved is Android with a game we’ve talked about a couple of times already called Dungeons & Dragons: Arena of War.
Phantom Fox Studios have released their first game onto Android called FireFly. This minimalistic style puzzle game features visuals similar to what we’ve seen in other games currently available such as Heroes of Many and Oscura with the black landscape but bright single color backgrounds.
Dragon & Shoemaker is a new 3D side-scrolling platformer from 4toon Studio that was created for the purpose of taking players through an old Polish legend about a shoemaker and an evil dragon. Players will travel through an early medieval world of Cracow and relive the legend where a simple shoemaker becomes a dragon slayer.
One thing Android, and mobile in general, have vast amounts of are endless running games. Since he genre’s inception, everyone and their mother have been making these games trying to take a piece of the endless running pie. So finding one that is a little more unique than the other current endless runners out there can be hard to do. Retro Runners by Countryside Games happens to be one of those unique endless runners.
One game that was rather popular back in the arcade days was a game called Buster Bros by Capcom. Eventually there was a series of games released under the Buster Bros name for different consoles as well and now we have a sort of tribute to the franchise with Jungle Pang. Developed by Snowball Software (the fine folks who brought us Attack of the Wasabi Peas), Jungle Pang is the bikini wearing female version of Buster Bros.
Thecle’s rather popular hack ‘n slash dungeon crawler called Deprofundis is getting a 2.0, or a sort of sequel, called Deprofundis: Requiem. This new game will feature new HD graphics to enjoy while you’re hacking up monsters and there are some very unique features that owners of the original game will want to know about.
