Hardline Studios has announces what will be their second release onto Android soon with a game called metaBall. Hardline Studios is the company behind the rather enjoyable space shooter Alpha Wave, but their new game is a lot different from that particular genre. After sitting and thinking of a proper way to describe this game, the best way to do it is with how the developer describes it: Marble Madness meets Q*Bert in a Tron universe.
Developed by the RAD Brothers, the Adventures of Flig is a new Android game that combines a few genres into one title. This game was actually a finalist in a Nokia game development competition as well.

SNK Playmore will be removing their music fighting game The Rhythm of Fighters from mobile markets
SNK Playmore has done rather well for themselves with bringing their older franchises to mobile devices. So it is a bit weird when the company has announced that one of their games will be removed from both Apple and Android platforms this week.

Traitor – Valkyrie Plan from PigFrog Entertainment is a new FPS game for your Android device. Originally this game was released back in June 2015 on Google Play, but that must have been a soft launch or a beta launch as the developer is now labeling the game officially launched as of today.
Sad news today as Nintendo of Europe has released news of the passing of Nintendo’s Global President, Satoru Iwata at the young age of 55.

OrangePixel’s next title that will be eventually getting released soon is Space Grunts. We’ve reported on this game a few times already during the development process and now we all get to check out plenty of gameplay thanks to a new video from OrangePixel. If you’re unfamiliar with this game, it is a pretty unique hybrid of a roguelike turn-based action game.
Monster Hunter style game The World II begins limited region testing complete with multiplayer finally
We have only had a few games arrive on Android that would be considered a Monster Hunter style of game, and even those games don’t really reach the level that Monster Hunter is at as a franchise. However, there are a couple of them that do come close but unfortunately lack certain elements such as multiplayer. One of those games is called The World II: Hunting Boss which is pretty much Monster Hunter on mobile but only as a single-player game. Multiplayer has been promised for a long time for that game, and now it appears that the planned multiplayer expansion will, in fact, be a separate release.
In the world of hybrid games we have seen some pretty interesting genre and gameplay combinations eventually getting released onto Android. Alco Invaders is an upcoming title from India Game Studio, ironically located in the Ukraine. The developers have taken a side-scrolling space shooter and combined it with tower defense mechanics to create what they are calling an Action-Defense genre.
It may not be that long of a beta, but it sure feels like Toram Online has been in a beta status for awhile. However, it looks like it is about to drop those beta tags as Asobimo went ahead and released it onto Google Play today in a non-beta format. This means that the majority of the game has been translated into English and almost everyone should be able to download and play it now.
