If you have been following our extended coverage of GDC 2015 then you probably read our hands-on preview of an interesting game called Sick Bricks by Spin Masters. Combining physical toys with a slew of different games, all located within one title, Sick Bricks is something fans of other titles like Skylanders will want to check out.
One of the games we were very eager to try out during GDC 2015 was NetherRealms’ Mortal Kombat X for Android devices. When we got to where the game was being shown, it was in a nice dark conference room behind closed doors with both the console version as well as the mobile version being available to play. Without wasting any time we went over to the table where all the tablets were, sat down, and began playing Mortal Kombat X while talking to one of the developers working on the project.
Originally debuting during a Humble Bundle recently, Glorkian Warrior: The Trials of Glork will finally be hitting Google Play in a more permanent official capacity. Thankful, this new version for Google Play comes with copious amounts of cake as well as your very own Flarf gun as well to shoot your enemies with.
Noodlecake Games may be publishing Glorkian Warrior tomorrow but the company has a few other games heading our way in the near future after that. One of those games is RAD Boarding and as it happens the developers were on hand at GDC 2015 which means we got to do a little hands-on with RAD Boarding.
Limbo is a 2D side-scrolling game released by Playdead. The premise of the game is simple, bordering on basic: players assume the role of an unnamed boy searching for his sister who’s apparently lost in Limbo. While this is fine enough of a reason (excuse?) to go off on a grand adventure, it isn’t mentioned in the game at ALL, but rather pulled from the game’s Google Play page. And to clarify this point, there was no prologue, cut scenes, epilogue, narration, subtitles, or any thing else that would advance a narrative. No story, but for the byline found on Google Play. The thing is though, this game is so good that I didn’t care. Also, not only is this the closest thing I have to a complaint, it’s my sole one at that.
Thursday are pretty much the official Android mobile game release day. Actually it is like that for all mobile gaming but then again we only care about Android. We don’t usually do a post a day ahead of what’s being released tomorrow but considering how big tomorrow is shaping up to be, it actually warrants a post like this. There is a lot to be looking forward to this Thursday.
Stars Wagon is the first game to be released by a small, indie game company called Amsgames. Stars Wagon is a scroll shooter where, according to the press release, players control “the forces of the enlightened beings of the aurora system” in their war against the Dark Ones who have managed to weaponize black holes, and use them to destroy entire civilization, leaving nothing behind.
Companion toys are not really new anymore when it comes to mobile gaming. Nintendo has their Amiibo toys, Skylanders have theirs, and even Rovio has toys that you place near your Android device of choice in order to unlock a character in the game for you to use. Spin Masters have taken this idea and expanded on it by making the toys your scan into the game have their own stats, abilities, and so on but allowing them to be customizable by swapping out parts and adding new ones.
Created by Ariano Games, Dot Heroes: Woop Woop Ninja is a Floppy Birds clone, with an RPG twist. There isn’t much of a story to speak of, so I’ll describe the gameplay. Players control a little black dot that wears a red headband. At the start of the game, and each subsequent level (so far as I played), the dot flies/falls through the air, inky contrail and all, only moving upward when the screen is tapped.
Based in San Mateo, California, Super Evil Megacorp created a stir last year with the showing of their action-filled MOBA, Vainglory. Their game was chosen to show-off the high-quality graphics that the latest Apple devices could achieve. Fast-forward a few months later, and we now learn that Vainglory will be coming to Android devices too.
