You may or may not be familiar with the Foxconn suicide-inspired game, or the actual event that took place to inspire it, that was released last month onto the iOS App Store, and subsequently taken down recently for obvious reasons. Developed by Benjamin Poynter, In a Permanent Save State was inspired by the real-life suicides at Foxconn’s electronic manufacturing plants, for those of you not familiar with its inspiration.
Well Square Enix has released a new game for Android gamers who enjoy puzzle games. This particular title, called Motley Blocks, is pretty similar in style to another game we released talked about called Pixel Twist. Basically in this game, your job is to connect matching colored blocks, while they twirl around in a sort of cyclone pattern, in order to clear them and eventually make the image that you need to make, using the removed blocks, in order to move onto the next stage.
Originally going by the name of Coign of Vantage, the developers bobblebrook have massaged their game for Android devices, given it a nice new name, called Pixel Twist, and have had Noodlecake Games publish it onto the Google Play store. This rather interesting rotating puzzle game has players rotating a cloud of pixels until it forms the same image that is your goal image.
Honey Tribe Games have released their next game onto Google Play called McBank: The Puzzle of Money and Freedom which is a uniquely designed game in terms of both its art style and how the game actually plays out. While being a puzzle game at its roots, when playing McBank it actually almost feels like a point-and-click adventure game instead.
Just to round off this morning’s release of Rovio’s newest game, Angry Birds Star Wars, is news that the game has also arrived right on time for those of you who use Amazon’s AppStore, especially for those of you who play games on your Kindle Fire. There are three versions of the game to choose from on Amazon’s AppStore, the free ad-supported version, an ad-free version for $0.99, and the Kindle Fire version which is basically the HD version for $2.99.
Its time for another Humble Bundle for Android, this one being the fourth one so far which we reported on coming this week a few days ago. When we originally posted about this new Humble Bundle, it was slated for release on November 6th, 2012 but since it was revealed it would be coming on that day along with the Walking Mars game, perhaps the crew over there decided to postpone it for a couple of days to throw everyone off. Either way, the Humble Bundle 4 is now here.
Rovio’s latest cross-over game with their Angry Birds franchise, called Angry Birds Star Wars, has arrived right on time for Android gamers to download and lose an entire day today at least of productivity at work or school. Featuring some new gameplay mechanics in the form of new Angry Birds powers and all the physics from past Angry Birds games, Rovio seems to have brought it all together under one title to breath new life into the franchise.
Thumbstar games has teamed up with Urbanscan to announce the first in a series of releases that the two companies will be doing together for Android. Called Gem Smashers, their first game release together, this is a action puzzler with 3D rendered graphics that puts a bit of a new spin on the Break Out / Arkanoid type of gaming we’ve seen available in the past.
We’ve talked about this ‘game’ a few times in the past which was originally called Curiosity until NASA made Peter Molyneux change the name to Curiosity: What’s Inside The Box. For those who have missed our previous coverage of this game, basically everyone, regardless of what platform they are playing it on, are whacking away at a giant cube, trying to be the one to strike the final blow and learn what is inside the cube.
Rovio has released yet another video about Angry Birds Star Wars, their upcoming cross-over between the two franchises, and this will likely be the last video released before the launch of the game in a few days. We’ve already seen gameplay videos for most of the birds and their new special powers that they will have in this game. This video shows all of it in once sitting, from the red bird’s light saber which can reflect lasers to the yellow bird who can shoot lasers.
