Released by independent game developer Richard Lord, is a game where players assemble “freaks” at a factory. The gameplay is puzzle oriented, as players are cramming as many as possible in the allotted amount of space. For a frame of reference, the game is laid out in a nearly identical fashion to the more commonly known Bubble Shooter games, only with Freak Factory, there’s no apparent way to remove the freaks once they’re in place.

Kill the Plumber is a Mario-style platformer where players actually play as the enemies instead of the Italian plumber. However, one thing you can see in Kill the Plumber is the heavy influence it has taken from Mario games in regards to level design, enemies, pretty much every aspect. Another game called Kill the Maliao is basically a rip-off of Kill the Plumber, which could technically be considered a rip-off of Mario games.
As we reported on its pending release nearly a week back, Stupid Zombies 3 has arrived on to Google Play today. This game is a puzzler, yet looks like an action-oriented, 2D side scroller. The idea of the game is to kill off all the zombies, in order to complete the level. What makes it a puzzle is that the player has limited resources (ie- number of bullets) in order to achieve this, so a workable solution needs to be found.
Whitaker Trebella of Fixpoint Productions is not only a game designer, but he is also a musician. You may be familiar with the games Pivvot and Polymer, which were released not too long ago for Android devices. His games are unique, colorful and always on the upper tier of difficulty, when it comes to game play. His latest game Piloteer, is absolutely stunning in art style, but definitely tough, when it comes to game play… and I like it!
The latest Humble Mobile Bundle arrived yesterday after a couple of weeks off, and to kick things back off this new Humble Mobile Bundle is a themed one based around Neo Geo games. That means plenty of SNK Playmore titles are now available for whatever you want to pay for them.
Released by Code2Game, SwappyDots is a new match-three game that has had its gameplay crossed with the classic sliding puzzle mechanic. Players will be looking at a grid of colored dots, a la Candy Crush. What’s different about this game, is that there’s one spot in the grid that’s empty, reminiscent of the classic, pocket-sized sliding puzzle games of yore.
Ketchapp has a knack for working with extremely talented game designers. Their latest collaboration with Bento Studios out of Lyon, France, is another successful pairing in my opinion. After firing up the game Escape, you are immediately thrust into an achingly beautiful world. Unfortunately, you have to pilot your rocket through perilous environments. In the midst of such beauty, will be death and destruction… over and over again.
