Ducktales, the classic NES and Gameboy games from Capcom from that was based on the Disney cartoon, was Remastered a few years back, for console systems current at the time, as well as mobile operating systems such as Android. Given the quality of the game, it’s not difficult to see why Disney and Capcom would be asking $9.99 for the game, nor that the original releases saw a million sales each. Fortunately, it’s now on sale for only $0.99.
Released by independent game developer Richard Lord, is a game where players assemble “freaks” at a factory. The gameplay is puzzle oriented, as players are cramming as many as possible in the allotted amount of space. For a frame of reference, the game is laid out in a nearly identical fashion to the more commonly known Bubble Shooter games, only with Freak Factory, there’s no apparent way to remove the freaks once they’re in place.
Hearthstone is Blizzard’s popular virtual CCG for multiple platforms including mobile handsets that’s based on the World of Warcraft universe. Recently, Blizzard released a custom card back that was made exclusively available for those playing the game on a Galaxy S6.

Inner world is a point and click adventure game, released by Headup Games. I am a fan of this genre, going back a couple of decades, so I was looking forward to review this once I came across it. Fortunately, the game (largely) didn’t disappoint, with only a few technical flaws in an otherwise solid game.
As we reported on its pending release nearly a week back, Stupid Zombies 3 has arrived on to Google Play today. This game is a puzzler, yet looks like an action-oriented, 2D side scroller. The idea of the game is to kill off all the zombies, in order to complete the level. What makes it a puzzle is that the player has limited resources (ie- number of bullets) in order to achieve this, so a workable solution needs to be found.
Released by Mutant Labs, Hot Seat is a new party game for Android. The game is based on association, with the player having to think of a word beginning with a particular letter, and within a given category, such as Birds beginning with the letter “O”.
Released by Code2Game, SwappyDots is a new match-three game that has had its gameplay crossed with the classic sliding puzzle mechanic. Players will be looking at a grid of colored dots, a la Candy Crush. What’s different about this game, is that there’s one spot in the grid that’s empty, reminiscent of the classic, pocket-sized sliding puzzle games of yore.
