“Alone in a dungeon sat a Dodo in a cage. She was overwhelmed by sadness, her eggs had been taken away.” So begins your journey with a brilliantly conceived, and challenging platforming game, called Dodo Master. The game was released earlier this year on iOS, with a preponderance of high praise. Android gamers will have the opportunity very shortly, to experience what many iOS users have enjoyed. It is an old school platformer that rewards you for your skills, and punishes you for the lack thereof. Semir Saleh, the independent game designer of Dodo Master, was kind enough to speak with me, to talk about his game, his origins and why he is willing to do it all over again. I introduce to you, the Dodo Master himself, Semir Saleh.

Ketchapp seems to be delivering simple and fun games, one right after the other. In the past month or so, they have pushed The Tower, Amazing Thief and Make Them Fight into the Play Store. Thus far, all of the games have a few things in common. They have clean and simple graphics, they are easy to pick up and put down for quick game play, and each one is entertaining in its own right. Most recently, Ketchapp, in collaboration with WF Games, brought Stick Hero to the Play Store. Anybody in your family can pick up and play this game easily. All it requires is a good judge of distance.
Nitrome has made a follow-up to their popular title 8-Bit Doves. In the same glorious, and almost monochromatic fashion, they have released Endless Doves into the Play Store. Yes, let all the Flappy Bird comparisons begin. In this case, I don’t think they are really warranted. The quality of this extraordinarily difficult game is unmatched in its control, atmosphere and personality. It is a straightforward game, that is as challenging as Wave, Wave to play, by Noodlecake Games. However, accepting failure with this title, is much easier, because of the delightful touches the designers have placed in the game. Endless Doves should be downloaded for the attention to detail alone. The graphics are a throwback to the early days of Nintendo Gameboys.
True Axis, game creator of the excellent titles, True Skate, Space Tripper and Jet Car Stunts, has finally released the sequel to their award winning game, Jet Car Stunts for Android. Jet Car Stunts 2 is now available in the Play Store, and we couldn’t be more excited to try it out. True Axis is known to take their time, to make sure that their games are well-polished, before they are released. If you like driving a vehicle at insane speeds through a maze of tracks floating in mid-air, Jet Car Stunts 2 is the game for you. Are you ready to take flight?
Some big news in the MMORPG world as Gamevil and XL Games have announced a partnership which will bring ArcheAge to mobile devices soon. While there isn’t a whole lot of details as to when this will actually happen and ArcheAge will find its way to Google Play, this news is one sort of a first in regards to a new MMORPG actually getting a mobile version for players to use as well.
A rather enjoyable looking game is heading to the Ouya console this month called MouseCraft. The best way to describe this game is that it resembles the older classic game Lemmings in terms of the mechanics that you will be dealing with. The goal is to get the mice to the cheese in each level.
Today Nvidia has made a trio of announcement regarding their Shield Tablet and all of it is good news for owners of these tablets.

So basically in five days we should get the new Android OS.
Alex Andreadis of Over Easy Games, which is based in Melbourne, Australia, has a new game that was recently released for Android. Any fan of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in the early 90’s will recognize the theme behind this one. The name of the game is Bomb on Bus. It is a new endless runner that will have you causing mayhem in the midst of the streets, as you navigate your bus at top speeds, so that the bomb on the bus won’t detonate. Oh, and the name of that film starring Reeves and Bullock… was Speed. Though Over Easy Games in tongue-and-cheek deny the similarities, it is still a fun game in its own right.
[Updated] Coming Soon to Android: Flyhunter Origins – An Extremely Likable Character on an Unlikely Space Adventure
If I were to mention animated movies such as The Incredibles, Toy Story, Brave, Ratatouille and Monsters University, what is the first thing that would come to mind? It would probably be Disney-Pixar and the wonderful stories and animation that they have created. If you are a fan of any of those movies you are in luck. Steel Wool Games is a new studio created by five artists that have been working in the animation industry for many years. With the aid of Ripstone Publishing, Steel Wool Games will release their first project, Flyhunter Origins this summer. It will be available for Android and Tegra powered devices in addition to other platforms. The game is prominently displayed as one to play on the new Nvidia Shield tablet.
