Zen Training falls right into that category as it is a bit of a different type of rhythm-based game.
Terry Cavanagh’s rather addictive yet somewhat frustrating game Super Hexagon has had an update go live for it today for the Android version. The overall theme for this update is the game’s performance, minimizing any in-game lag that could happen and the game just running faster in general.

We talked about 11 Bit Studios announcing their Anomaly 2 game last week which will hopefully be arriving for Android at some point. The main feature we were really interested in with Anomaly 2 was the addition of multiplayer, where one player controls the offensive units while the other player would be in charge of the defensive towers. Well it looks like Android gamers can get a head start on learning strategies for this type of multiplayer gaming with a new title from IEDS called City Conquest.
