One of Glu Mobile’s more casual sim type of games is getting an update soon. For those of you who play Stardom: The A-List you can expect a new episode heading your way soon called Stardom: Hollywood. To tease all of the Stardom players out there, Glu Mobile has released a teaser trailer for you to check out.
Well, our Under The Radar column was meant to be something we did once every week or so, but in just the past few days I’ve come across some really good titles from first-time indie developers. So that leads us to our second Under The Radar for the week. More than half of the games on this list can be classified under the “brutal” category, so if you’re looking for challenging games then be sure to give them a go.
A new head-to-head combat game has arrived on Android from developers Pixelmaji called Monster Rivals. In this particular game you will be squaring off against other monsters as you work to become the strongest one around. Through combat you will be leveling up your monster of choice and customizing them with skills and items.
So the Minecraft: Pocket Edition 0.6.0 update has been out for a short while now (and the quick 0.6.1 bug fix update as well) and it is time to start talking about the next update which will be 0.7.0 unless Mojang decided to make it an 0.6.x version but that seems doubtful. We’ve already talked about a few features that we are pretty sure will be arriving for this next update but now we pretty much have confirmation on some of them.
From the makers of Doodle Grub comes a new announcement about a new game that will be heading our way soon called The Sandbox. Fans of pixel art are going to find their own personal little heaven with this game as players will be able to create worlds that will be completely in pixel art. You will also be able to destroy worlds in a blaze of pixel art chaotic glory as well.
Yesterday we reported on a new game coming from EA called The Simpsons: Tapped Out which has been a rather popular game over on iOS since its release over there. The weird thing yesterday was that even though it was available on Google Play on EA International’s account, almost no one was able to download it. On top of that there isn’t even a North American version right now.
Imangi Studios and Disney teamed up once already to bring Temple Run: Brave to the world and apparently the two companies will once again be teaming up but this time it will be for something Oz related. When we say Oz related we don’t mean the prison show from awhile ago but instead the Wizard of Oz franchise.
HeroCraft has released a new casual puzzle game onto Google Play called Catch the Candy which also happens to be on sale to celebrate the game’s launch onto Android. Originally Catch the Candy started off as an online flash game which has not been ported over to Android so you can continue feeding your little blue creature candy.
While this shouldn’t be too much of a surprise for anyone really, it is still interesting to check out the numbers involved with something like this. Apparently Imangi Studios’ Temple Run 2 which just recently came out on Android has broken the record for the fastest growing mobile game ever with over 50 million downloads across iOS, Android and Kindle Devices in 13 days.
