Plasma Sky – A new arcade shooter with slick looking visuals

Plasma Sky is a new arcade shooter that has arrived onto Google Play that sports some pretty slick looking visuals, especially for those of you out there who enjoy the glowy graphics some games back in the day. Even though Plasma Sky has a flare for the retro with its visuals, its gameplay also looks influenced by some of the more classic shooter games people used to play in the arcades.

Doodle Jump gets brought into the new age and made free

Interesting news today that we don’t hear about often when it comes to some of the ‘old school’ Android games that are still floating around the Google Play store. Doodle Jump, which was released three years ago, has been completely reworked, code-wise that is, and is now properly optimized for all the new hardware that exists in this current age of Android.

PSA: Attack of the clones with new fake Temple Run: Oz and Subway Surfers

Every so often we have to issue one of these PSA (public service announcement) notices about either a developer offering up a ridiculous amount of fake apps and games or about the fake apps and games themselves. Usually these fake apps and games are either laced with malware or try to get unfortunately people who think they have the correct game or app installed to dish out money for it.

The Jump: Escape The City races onto Google Play, includes an impressive soundtrack

While there are plenty of continuous running style games out there, a lot of which take on a different form to make it feel like a completely different game when it isn’t at all, The Jump: Escape The City is actually a different style of continuous running game for a change. Firstly, there is actually an end to it which essentially makes it the exact opposite of a continuous running game.

Towelfight 2: The Monocle of Destiny Review – Shooting animals out of your face

I haven’t played the first game in the Towelfight series, but I can only imagine that it has to be something similar to this second one. That means over-the-top humor, a lot of action and a definite indie feel to the whole experience. Of course, I can’t say that this means that the entire experience is quite as original as I’d like it to be, at least in some ways. I like the fact that the artwork in game is almost rough and primitive looking, as though it was drawn or painted by a high-schooler. Don’t get me wrong, I drew my way through high school (much to the disappointment of my teachers) and even though I expect a little more polish when I play an actual, real-deal Android game I like the fact that the game looks rough. So much art in the Play market is pretty but has no soul. Towelfight 2 isn’t pretty, but at least I can tell what the creators were going for.
