Spirits, a charming physics-based puzzler by Spaces of Play, is a simple game that sucks you in almost immediately but eventually leaves a lot to be desired. Your job is pretty simple: guide the leaf spirits through different levels, dodging pitfalls, blocks and spikes until they finally arrive at a spiraling portal to be whisked away. It’s a pretty easy game and each level is relatively non-challenging. That is until you decide you want to conquer each level and come out with perfect results… that’s when the game becomes really challenging.

Bomberman has been a favorite among gamers since the arcade days and there have been plenty of games inspired by Bomberman. Playito’s first game for Android devices is their take on the Bomberman style of arcade game with a new title called FireLords HD. It’s also 50% off to celebrate the release of the game.
The spin-off of the Angry Birds franchise featuring the pigs is nearing it’s slated release date of September 27th, 2012 and while we do know a few things about the game, there hasn’t been any real gameplay footage or screenshots released for Bad Piggies.

Sometimes, if you’re good enough at it, you can notice tendencies with devs towards releasing a certain type of games. This last months’ tide has leveled toward Continuous Runners, and we’ve seen the release of big soon-to-be hits like Vector Unit’s Beach Buggy Blitz and Glu’s Mutant Roadkill, among others of the genre. Com2uS are giving us their version of the facts with their newest game, Zombie Runaway UP.
Way back near the end of last year, we talked about a Facebook FPS game from Cmune which would eventually be making its way to Android and iOS devices as well. Their game, called UberStrike, is a rather popular FPS game where players battle it out against each other across various maps, your typical multiplayer FPS game in theme.
You may or may not remember the original iControlPad game controller which, originally, was designed for iOS devices before branching out and becoming available to Android devices as well. While the idea was great, there was a bit of an issue in terms of design since it used clasps to help attach itself to whatever phone you are using. Considering the huge range of device sizes Android has, you can see how this could be a problem. Well the iControlPad 2 looks to fix this by being completely bluetooth enabled minus the clasps.
A new puzzle game has arrived onto Google Play and if you are a fan of Rubik’s Cube then you’ll probably dig Time Cube 3D. The best way to explain this game is that it is basically a sort of inverted Rubik’s Cube that you’ll need to figure out. Just to make things a bit more challenging though, you have a set time limit to figure it all out.
