OrangePixel are a mainstay on Android when it comes to retro-style games and one of their previous titles, called Meganoid, was a rather challenging platformer. Well luckily for us all who had plenty of fun, and plenty of frustration, playing Meganoid, OrangePixel has released a sequel to it called Meganoid 2. Like any good sequel, Meganoid 2 is harder than the original game.
Like a middle child, mobile games are constantly vying for our attention. Every week a new crop of games prop themselves on our desk and demands to be played.

Every week members of our staff will sift through the best Android games, new or old, basically any games they’ve been playing relentlessly throughout the week.
A new game called Skyriders by indie game developer Inverse Blue landed onto Google Play over the past weekend. The game is a blend between the platformer and tunnel-racer genres, where you play as an alien piloting a spacecraft. The game features crazy track layouts to test your skills, and has visceral looking visuals of the cosmos as the backdrop.
Good news for fans on indie games or, more specifically, those created by Terry Cavanaugh. The creator of the rather popular and difficult indie game Super Hexagon has labeled his 2010 award winning indie game, VVVVVV, as coming soon to Android and iOS. This indie platformer quickly became a hit, gaining a rather large cult following just like his newest game has done.
It is always refreshing to come across a title that employs an innovative gameplay, for far too often games are unoriginal and clichéd in the mobile space. Sumioni Demon Arts, originally a PS Vita title, bucks the trend as it makes use of a unique gameplay style. The game has a good premise, but does it deliver?
Mediocre Games’ second release onto Android, the cool running platformer called Granny Smith, has been update with a dozen new levels, all featured in the great beyond known as our galaxy. Apparently keeping a thief away from your apples in an inter-planetary type of job these days. You’ll be discovering all sorts of goodies as you skate across different planets in your quest to collect your apples before the thief does. Apples on Mars? True story.
Late last night two new games arrived for Tegra based devices in the form of Razor Salvation THD, which we talked about two days ago, and Sumioni Demon Arts THD, a port of the rather popular PS Vita game. The first game, Razor Salvation THD, is available for both Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 devices while the second game, Sumioni Demon Arts THD, is available for Tegra 3 devices only.
There is a new game out on the Google Play store today that is a free-runner platformer but with a Tron flare to it with it’s futuristic visuals. Developed by Hope This Works Games Inc, Polara will have you playing as Agent Lara who is trying to escape from one hell of a security system. There is a rather unique color switching game mechanic in Polara that you’ll need to master if you play on surviving long enough to get through the game.
Noodlecake Studios recently published their latest release onto the Google Play store which comes in the form of a 2D side-scrolling platformer called League of Evil. Layered with plenty of retro gaming goodness, League of Evil will have players running, wall jumping, flipping and punching their way through over 160 levels in the hopes of confronting the evil scientist and punching him in the face.
Google Play may not short of auto-running platformers, but Rayman Jungle Run is a welcome addition. Well, a more than welcome addition in fact. Powered by the same Ubisoft engine that Rayman Origins runs on and developed by Pastagames for mobile devices (I’m hungry already), Rayman Jungle Run is the kind of game you immediately appreciate the moment you start playing.
