Goon Studios is an independent game studio you will want to remember. They have high ideals and talent that runs deep. I don’t remember exactly how I came across Goon Studios website last year, but I came away impressed. Maybe it was the artwork shown in the screenshots of the game Keipr that they are working on. It could also have been that when I went to the about us section, that I thought it was pretty intriguing that the images of the Goons weren’t just regular old photographs.

The rather enjoyable side-scrolling arcade game Don’t Run With A Plasma Sword will be getting a new version next week and this one will be a free-to-play version.

In November of last year, we reported on Goon Studios latest project, Monster vs. Sheep. If you are unfamiliar with Goon Studios, they are a game development studio based in Pasadena, California. Their first project on Android was Boogey Boy. When we played it, we felt it was a fun, vibrant and intriguing game, to add to the endless runner/platforming genre. Fast forwarding from November to February, Goon Studios recently released a second trailer for Monster vs. Sheep a few days ago. It looks like the Goons are at it again, creating what is sure to be a fun and original game. The good news is that we don’t have to wait too long, because Monster vs. Sheep is on its way to Android/iOS devices.
Everyone is pretty familiar with Ubisoft Entertainment. When they release a mobile game, depending upon its content, people tend to take notice. This week, Android gamers have an opportunity to experience Monkey King Escape. The game was developed by Ubisoft’s Chinese studio, Ubisoft Chengdu. They are a small development team that has chosen to take on the popular legend of the Monkey King.
While there may be plenty of side-scrolling platformers on mobile these days, there are not a whole lot that would fit into the category of ones that you will want to play over and over. However there is one that is heading our way soon that, from what we have seen so far, looks like it would fit into that category quite nicely.
