Released by White Wizard Games, Star Realms is a deck building game that’s on the Android platform. For those unfamiliar with the game, it’s a fairly simple deck builder, where players add cards to their deck as the game goes on, in the hopes of outmaneuvering their opponent with said cards, in the hopes of depleting the opponent’s health.
BEAM – Laser Puzzle Invaders is the debut release from Binary Monks. The game is a fairly straightforward arcade game, where invaders of sorts are marching ever downward from the top of the screen, while the player controls a laser cannon that is fixed at the bottom of the screen, but can move laterally.
Emulators are certainly not new when it comes to the Android platform. There’s pretty much an emulator for everything you could want, whether it is for running console or PC games on your Android device, or the exact opposite, which is running Android games on your PC. There’s a new emulator that has just received its first public release called LeapDroid and it claims to be the fastest Android emulator in the world.

Good Games and Oxon Game Studio have announced that their real-time strategy science-fiction based game Galaxy Reavers is headed to Android this month.

Released by Kongregate, a subsidiary of GameStop, Crusaders of the Lost Idols is a new adventure game for Android.

Released by Nebra Games, GLITCH is a new dual stick shooter for Android. In this game, players will be assuming the role of a computer virus, which is attempting to penetrate a computer. Bear in mind, this isn’t a hacking game as one might think from the back story.
Herocraft has released a new Puzzle-RPG onto Android called Zombie Town Story. This particular game features Match-3 puzzle mechanics meshed into parts of the combat, with a full adventure style of game also being present. There’s also plenty of RPG mechanics in place such as leveling up characters, upgrading equipment and so on.
